🔥The Conversation's article on 🛢️ propaganda is a *must read*.
The reason for the stalls to #ClimateAction worldwide:
The 'Climate Change Counter Movement'. The prop machine is backed by a "global network of foundations, think tanks and lobbyists". Strategy and tactics in the works for 50+ years.
🔥Included is a just-published study in ScienceDirect which maps out "how this movement has used its influence to delay climate action in Canada".
They've moved from climate denial to new strategy and tactics -- since hot Summers, wildfires, floods and hurricanes are common and in our faces.
Their new strategy: Exploite legitimate debates "sow confusion, cause political deadlock and suggest policies that don’t threaten their profits."
New narratives are particularly widespread in 🇨🇦 Canada:
🚨 "fossil fuel solutionism"
🚨 whataboutism
🚨 "appeals to well-being"
