Climate Obstruction NL ontstond vanuit het besef: ondanks al het werk aan klimaatbeleid blijven machtige belangen klimaatactie tegenhouden. Toch was er in Nederland nauwelijks aandacht voor deze obstructie. Sinds 2024 brengen wij daar verandering in.

Great video, in which Dave Borlace uses @doctorvive.bsky.social's excellent book on the language of #climate politics to debunk the Trump administration's talking points...

Ik hoorde een Europarlementariër zeggen: “Natural gas is the present and natural gas will be the future.” Ik was in verwarring: we zouden toch stoppen met fossiele brandstoffen?

Ik maakte er een radiodocu over voor @argosonderzoekt.bsky.social. Nu in je podcastapp! argos.vpro.nl/artikelen/ge...

In this week's episode, we dig into the psychology of mis/disinformation and why it works so well. We thought we knew a lot about disinformation, and then we talked to these experts!

In @trouw.nl this week: 10 years after the Paris Agreement, we know that the climate crisis is a disinformation crisis. Read @marioveen.bsky.social's take on how to counter this dangerous driver of our continued lack of action on the climate crisis!

Would sure be great if any aspiring scholar on the immensely important topic of climate obstruction would study the 193 (!) submissions to the Australian Select Committee on Information Integrity on Climate Change and Energy. Many from lobby groups ...

Said it before, will probably die saying it, we are never going to solve the climate disinfo problem if we don't fix media. As @maxboykoff.bsky.social notes here, the public by and large learns about climate change via the media, so if the media trades in false equivalence, it's damaging!

🧵 about the attack on social science research by @cssn.org founder @timmonsroberts.bsky.social and his brilliant students at Brown University that exposed climate denial/obstruction networks. And (as @veenadubal.bsky.social put it), why universities should not negotiate with anti-science forces!

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.

NYT just covered it. 1/n

If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate. So imagine my nerd delight to get my hands on an incredible new batch of research on climate obstruction. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Why hasn't there been more climate progress?

"The massive, decades-long campaign of denial and obstruction from the fossil fuel industry is the major part of it," Al Gore explains.

"It would be a mistake, in my view, to underestimate how significant their role has been."
