    In Virginia, a conservative think tank is now touting a biased analysis, dismissed by critics as misleading “scare tactics,” authored by anti-environmental attorney David Schnare, that questions Virginia’s legal authority to participate in the regional program.
    The Transportation and Climate Initiative aims to reduce carbon emissions from on-road vehicles by up to 25 percent over 10 years through a cap-and-invest model, whereby fuel suppliers and distributors would purchase allowances allocated under the cap, and proceeds would be invested into clean transportation initiatives. The program is modeled after the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative for the power sector, which is expected to result in CO2 emission reductions of 45 percent below 2005 levels by this year. But critics of the TCI proposal, many of whom also opposed RGGI, claim that it will do little to cut emissions and is just a scheme to raise gas prices, equivalent to a gas tax.
    According to a legal analysis on Virginia’s participation in the program, published by the Thomas Jefferson Institute for Public Policy, “TCI proposes rationing gasoline and diesel fuel sales and initiating a per gallon gas tax hike.” David Schnare, who wrote the analysis, claims that the program would impose not a fee but a tax and therefore requires authorization by the state legislature. Virginia’s governor, Schnare says, does not have unilateral authority to join TCI. Schnare also threatens to sue should Virginia attempt to join TCI without authorization by the legislature.
    “We hope the Governor simply chooses to withdraw,” Schnare said. “But any effort to impose TCI unilaterally without the General Assembly will certainly be met with appropriate legal action.”
    “Nothing in the TCI program would ration gasoline and motor fuels. TCI would simply put a limit on climate pollution,” said Mark Kresowik, eastern region deputy director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, emphasizing that TCI is not a tax by any legal standard.

    The Triumph of Doubt
    Dark Money and the Science of Deception
    David Michaels
    An insider's look at the machinations of manufactured doubt in science — bogus studies, congressional testimonies, think-tank policy documents — and how they have risen to prominence in American life and government
    Details how corporations manipulate science not just to defend dangerous products and activities, but also to market them as safe
    New details around high-profile cases of manufactured, misleading uncertainty, including in car manufacturing, professional sports, our food and drink, and the air we breathe
    Argues that the anti-science policies of the Trump Administration are not new, but are instead the outcome of decades-long campaigns by the tobacco and fossil fuel industries to stop regulation of deadly products
    Exposes how corporations "work the referees" in the regulatory process to ensure their products are not labeled as cancer-causing — even when they are
    Authored by President Obama's OSHA administrator and chief safety officer of the nuclear weapons complex under President Clinton

    Greenpiss pote, co se ukazalo, ze je spravovany PR agenturou pracujici pro Tykacovo uhelny imperium, se prejmenovalo na "Hnuti Ducha" a tedka to jede nejak takhle:

    HNUTÍ DUCHA
    5. března v 15:12 ·
    Řada snímků ukazuje postup tání ledovce Morteratsch ve švýcarském kantonu Graubünden. Exaktní měření jeho ročního úbytku probíhá od roku 1878. Samotné odtávání, ale i přibývání ovšem začalo již na konci poslední doby ledové. Tempo úbytku ledu se zrychluje, stejně jako když necháte odtávat kostku ledu při pokojové teplotě, nebo ve sklenici dobré irské whiskey.
    V roce 1993 dosáhl ledovec velikosti z doby před nástupem malé doby ledové kolem roku 1200. Od té doby zase rostl, až do roku 1857, kdy se jeho čelo zastavilo 100 metrů před nynější železniční zastávkou Station Morteratsch.
    Plyne z toho několik zajímavých zjištění. Například, že největší úspěch hnutí Fridays for Future vedený Gretou byl zaznamenán před rokem 1200, kdy došlo k odstavení většiny tehdejších uhelných elektráren. Následkem toho si tehdejší politici celého světa uvědomili závažnost situace a na poslední chvíli zvrátili nebezpečný trend globálního oteplování. Praktickým důsledkem bylo i to, že český král Přemysl Otakar II. zvaný Uhelný a Ropný vyměnil svého koně produkujícího metan za solárního kozla, s nímž později obětavě zahynul v rakouských nížinách v střetnutí známém jako Bitva na moravském naftovém poli. Na jeho počest vděční Rakušané vztyčili v těchto místech dva tisíce padesát smutečních větrníků, které když vane vítr produkují nádherně tklivý melodický infrabzukot.

    Uncertainty Language 'A Requirement'
    In addition to the documents DeSmog is first publishing here, other documents related to Goklany’s efforts to insert uncertainty into discussions of climate change — despite a scientific consensus on the topic and the fact that climate models have proved to be very predictive over the past several decades — were published by E&E News in 2018.

    “Please, however, make sure that the attached uncertainty language is incorporated somewhere within the document,” the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s David Raff wrote in a December 13, 2018 email to others at the bureau, referring to a final environmental impact statement draft. “This was a requirement established within the department in 2017 and I haven’t heard that it is changed.”

    Naomi Seibt is a 19-year-old German YouTube “influencer” who has been described by climate science deniers as the “anti-Greta,” in reference to Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg. Thunberg was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year and has become the face for youth climate action. Naomi Seibt joined the Heartland Institute's Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy in February 2020 in order to spread her message. [2]

    The Heartland Institute is one of the most notorious climate science denial groups in the United States, and has received funding from ExxonMobil and large conservative foundations. Most of Heartland's income comes though Donors Capital Fund and its sister organization DonorsTrust, two groups that have been described as the “dark money ATM of the conservative movement” for their ability to obscure the identify of donors. [3]

    The Heartland Institute introduced Seibt as follows: “Unlike the global legacy media’s favorite young climate communicator, Greta Thunberg, Naomi doesn’t want you to 'panic.' She wants you to 'think' – the way she did to free herself from the climate alarmist indoctrination.” [2]

    ...
    Key Part of Heartland Institute's Media Strategy
    Research by CORRECTIV and Frontal21 in Germany uncovered how the Heartland Institute was coordinating with climate change denial groups in Germany including the European Institute on Climate and Energy (EIKE) to advance its agenda. During the undercover investigation, published in German and also translated into English, reporters spoke with Heartland director James Taylor who revealed some of Heartland's strategies. [5], [6]

    James Taylor revealed to the undercover journalists that the best way to give money would be to funnel it through Donors Trust.

    “Donors Trust is now directing between two-thirds and three-quarters of its budget to Heartland to support its climate-skeptical positions, says Taylor,” according to their report, which German news site CORRECTIV published online in English as well as German.

    The German reporters went “undercover” and presented themselves as Berlin PR executives representing clients from the automotive and energy industries. As part of the process, they received a funding proposal from James Taylor that outlined a plan to fight “restrictive environmental programs” in Germany. Part of Heartland's proposal included Naomi Seibt. She was described in their plan as follows:

    “The Heartland Institute in December 2019 began working with popular young German YouTube personality Naomi Seibt,” the funding proposal states.

    “Funding for our Germany Environmental Issues project will enable Heartland to provide Naomi with the equipment and resources she needs to present a series of effective videos calling attention to the negative impacts of overreaching environmental regulations.”

    This week, a false claim about volcanoes posted on Twitter went viral. The tweet claimed that Tuesday's eruption of Mt. Merapi in Indonesia "spewed more CO2 than every car driven in history. Climate change is natural."

    The tweet generated tremendous interest and engagement, with over 100,000 likes and millions of video views. But scientists say the claim is blatantly false.

    Dívka přezdívaná Antigreta se přitom až donedávna o klimatické změny příliš nezajímala. Ve svých videích na YouTube se věnovala jiným konzervativním tématům, jako je odpor vůči migraci, feminismu nebo potratům. To jí vyneslo příznivé hodnocení zejména u stoupenců krajně pravicové Alternativy pro Německo (AfD).
    Vloni pak sklidila značný ohlas svým vystoupením na klimatické konferenci v Mnichově v listopadu a o měsíc později v Madridu. Krátce poté ji oslovil James Taylor, právník amerického konzervativního a libertariánského think tanku Heartland Institute. Organizace je financována především firmami podnikajícími v oboru fosilních paliv.
    Taylor má ve společnosti na starost životní prostředí a v mladé Němce rychle odhalil konzervativní odpověď na osobnost Švédky Grety Thunbergové, jež si svými pátečními stávkami za klima vydobyla světovou proslulost. „Je fantastickým hlasem pro volný trh a klimatický realismus,“ řekl pro deník The Washington Post. I proto s ní jménem Heartland Institutu podepsal smlouvu a Seibtová začala pro organizaci pracovat.

    Studie vydaná profesorkou matematiky Valentinou Zharkovou loni v červenci vyvolala ve vědecké komunitě ohlas. Navzdory současným vědeckým poznatkům o vlivu skleníkových plynů totiž tvrdila, že veškeré globální oteplení je způsobeno tím, že se Země přiblížila ke Slunci. To vyvolalo kritiku nejen z řad klimatologů, ale i z amerického Národního úřadu pro letectví a kosmonautiku (NASA), podle kterého studie špatně modeluje oběžnou dráhu Země okolo Slunce.
    Tato kritika byla nyní potvrzena editory časopisu Nature Scientific Reports, kteří vydali rozhodnutí o stažení studie. To v oficiální zprávě odůvodňují tím, že se ukázalo, že prof. Zharkova započítala vliv gravitace ostatních planet na Slunce, ale už nezapočítala ten samý vliv na Zemi. Kalkulace oběžné dráhy Země jsou proto ve studii chybné, a „editoři již nemají důvěru v závěry studie“.
    Chybu ve studii shrnuje následující obrázek, kdy podle prof. Zharkové (obrázek vlevo) Země obíhá stále po stejné dráze, zatímco Slunce mění svoji polohu kvůli gravitačnímu působení ostatních planet. Podle NASA však na Zemi působí ty samé gravitační vlivy jako na Slunce, a její oběžná dráha se tedy také mění (obrázek vpravo).



    Podle astronoma Kena Rice, který se podílel na vyvrácení této studie, by vědecké články měly být staženy pouze ve výjimečných případech. U této studie je však stažení nutné kvůli základním fyzikálním chybám. „Pohyby těles okolo Slunce jsou velmi dobře známé, a kdyby chtěli, autorům studie by nedalo moc práce ověřit, jestli jsou jejich předpoklady správné“.
    „Stažením studie udělal časopis rozumný a správný krok,“ řekl Gavin Schmidt z Goddardova institutu pro vesmírný výzkum, NASA.

    Zahradník nám v uhelný komisi docela úspěšně pomáhá jako užitečný idiot: rozkládá debatu, vede nekonečné monology nesouvisející s projednávanými body, hádá se s ministry i s Benešem, a je vidět, že uhlí téměř vůbec nerozumí. Vedle něj vypadáme jako symboly věcnosti, odbornosti a vstřícnosti. :) Psychologicky tak vytěsňuje ostatní členy komise směrem k nám.
    Původně jsem chtěl přesvědčovat VŽP PSP (který ho jmenoval jako svého zástupce), aby ho vyměnili, ale teď jsem za něj rád a doufám, že vydrží až do konce. :)

    The Zharkova et al paper that incorrectly purported to link solar-climate effects to movements of the Sun around the barycenter has been retracted.
    This paper generated an enormous thread on @PubPeer where the authors continued to defend the indefensible and even added in new errors (such as a claim that the Earth’s seasonal cycles are due to variations in the Earth-Sun distance). Additionally, it seeded multiple nonsense newspaper articles in the UK and elsewhere (some of which were quietly deleted or corrected).
    But the interesting thing is that this cycle of very public solar claim/counter-claim/claim/retraction was totally predictable.
    Why is this? What is it about solar-climate links in particular that brings out the confirmation bias and the defend-at-all-costs responses? Why are the UK tabloids so excited about mini-ice age stories?

    A dezinformacni praktiky fosilniho prumyslu - kdyz jde o plast.

    The battle pits Udall and his allies in Congress against some of the most powerful corporate interests on the planet, including the oil majors and chemical giants that produce the building blocks for our modern plastic world — think Exxon, Dow, and Shell — and consumer giants like Coca-Cola, Nestlé, and Unilever that package their products in the stuff. Big Plastic isn’t a single entity. It’s more like a corporate supergroup: Big Oil meets Big Soda — with a puff of Big Tobacco, responsible for trillions of plastic cigarette butts in the environment every year. And it combines the lobbying and public-relations might of all three.

    Americans have occasionally crusaded against “problem plastics” — scapegoating packing peanuts, grocery bags, or drinking straws for the sins of our unsustainable consumer economy. We’ve been slow to recognize that we’re actually in the midst of a plastic pandemic. Over the past 70 years, we’ve gotten hooked on disposable goods and packaging — as plastics became the lifeblood of an American culture of speed, convenience, and disposability that’s conquered the globe. Plastic contains our hot coffee and frozen dinners. It is the material of childhood, from Pampers to Playmobil to PlayStation 4. It cloaks our e-commerce purchases and is woven into our sneakers, fast fashion, and business fleece. Humans are now using a million plastic bottles a minute, and 500 billion plastic bags a year — including those we use to bag up our plastic-laden trash.

    But the world’s plastic waste is not so easily contained. Massive quantities of this forever material are spilling into the oceans — the equivalent of a dump-truck load every minute. Plastic is also fouling our mountains, our farmland, and spiraling into an unmitigatable environmental disaster. John Hocevar is a marine biologist who leads the Oceans Campaign for Greenpeace, and spearheaded the group’s response to the BP oil spill in the Gulf. Increasingly, his work has centered on plastics. “This is a much bigger problem than ‘just’ an ocean issue, or even a pollution issue,” he says. “We’ve found plastic everywhere we’ve ever looked. It’s in the Arctic and the Antarctic and in the middle of the Pacific. It’s in the Pyrenees and in the Rockies. It’s settling out of the air. It’s raining down on us.”

    Trochu sirsi pohled na praktiky fosilnich korporaci. Od novinare, ktery byl na pozvany na jejich interni workshop

    Journalists at the Dutch publication The Correspondent tracked down an educational video Shell released in 1991 called “Climate of Concern,” which warned, “Global warming is not yet certain, but many think that to wait for final proof would be irresponsible. Action now is seen as the only safe insurance.” There’s good evidence Exxon knew a decade earlier. But not only did these companies continue exploiting their reserves, not only did they explore for new sources and develop new modes of extraction, like fracking, but they funded politicians and groups that claimed not to believe in global warming, agents that have worked to delay the same action they knew was “our only safe insurance.” So far, the oil and gas companies’ calculations — that delay would make them money and that they could avoid consequences for misleading the public — have been spot on. But denial-backed delay is no longer sufficient, it seems. They’re now hoping to leverage their incumbency, and fossil-fuel wealth, to lay claim to the world’s clean-energy future as well. To do that, they’ll have to persuade young people to forget who caused climate change in the first place, or at least to let bygones be bygones. And if they can transition their corporate profiles from fossil fuel to green energy without missing a profitable quarter, that wouldn’t be a repudiation of their delay strategy; it would be a vindication.

    Of course, to judge by the advertisements, the transition to renewables has already happened. British Petroleum is now a solar-energy company called BP, ExxonMobil brews giant swimming pools of cool green-algae fuel, and Shell maintains mountain canyons lined with wind turbines floating in fog. All these initiatives actually do exist, though they are a tiny fraction of each company’s budget; so far, the main product of Exxon’s algae program seems to be propaganda. Right now, these companies have to convince governments and their publics to let them run out the clock with fossil fuels, and they’ve decided the best way to do that is to appear to be an essential partner for whatever’s coming next. I was ostensibly there to help plan the timing.

    The Post story also quoted Graham Brookie, who directs the Digital Forensic Research Lab, an arm of the nonprofit Atlantic Council. Brookie said the ideology Seibt presents “is not outright disinformation," but that it does "bear resemblance to a model we use called the 4d’s — dismiss the message, distort the facts, distract the audience, and express dismay at the whole thing.”


    The Post's story did not mention that the Atlantic Council is funded by ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Chevron, Shell, and BP.


    In response to a request for comment, The Washington Post’s Molly Gannon said only, “Our story speaks for itself.”


    Other news outlets seem to have copied the omission. The Guardian, The Independent, France24, the Daily Mail, Mediaite, Mic, and MassLive all published follow-on stories that did not mention the Heartland Institute’s financial backing from the fossil fuel industry.


    The Heartland Institute seems to be trying to look like it has the youth on its side. So it has found a Gen Z surrogate who can parrot decades-old fossil fuel talking points, and earned major press coverage that frames her as a figure who compares to Thunberg, while completely leaving out the group's obvious, and documented, oil and gas industry connections.
