    TUHODezinformace o klimatu // Rage Against the Fossil Machine

    f you go back a couple of decades, as we sometimes say, the signal was still emerging from the noise. The science very clearly established that we were warming the planet and changing the climate in various ways. But in terms of public understanding, the public wasn’t really seeing it yet in the form of the sorts of unprecedented extreme weather events that we’re now seeing and the coastal inundation and droughts and heatwaves and wildfires and floods. It wasn’t yet that apparent. There was still a window of opportunity for climate polluters and those promoting their agenda. There was really an effort to discredit the science, often by discrediting the scientists. And I found myself at the receiving end of personal attacks that were intended to discredit the hockey stick curve because it was perceived as such a threat.

    What kind of attacks?

    I received a white powder in the mail. The FBI had to come to my office. There was police tape over my office. They had to send out the sample to the lab to have it tested. It turned out it was cornmeal or something. It was intended to intimidate and scare me. And demands from conservative politicians that I be fired from my job at the University of Pennsylvania. Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, vilifying me to their audiences. It was a full-throttle effort to discredit me because of the threat of the hockey stick curve that I had published.

    Okay, 25 years later, are you still being bullied?

    Well, the battle has largely moved on. We’ve really evolved mostly past denialism because the impacts of climate change are staring us in the face. They’ve become so obvious we can see them play out in real time. And there is a resurgence, a superficial resurgence of denial, like on social media, Twitter, for example. But it’s not real in the sense that the actual public survey work that’s been done shows that it remains a fairly small fraction of the American public, roughly 10 percent, who are climate dismissives. So in reality, most people have moved on. The vast majority of the public gets it. They understand because they can see it, they can feel it. It’s not like the fossil fuel industry has given up. They’re still doing everything they can to prevent us from moving on. But they’ve largely moved away from [outright] denialism toward these softer denialist tactics.

    One of the Koch network’s most powerful allies was on board: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
    Though Charles Koch is one of the 25 richest people in the world, worth an estimated $64 billion, he raises money from other wealthy people to amplify the network’s reach. The network brought in at least $700 million in 2021, the most recent year for which data is available. It has more than 1,000 employees who, on paper, work for different groups.

    But for all its complexity, the network is a centralized operation, staffers said. Many of the groups occupy the same buildings in Arlington, Virginia, and share leadership and often staff. Many of the donations go into a central pot, from which hundreds of millions of dollars are disbursed to the smaller groups focused on various political and social concerns, according to tax filings and former employees.

    For decades, the Kochs have held deep antipathy to government regulation. When Charles Koch’s brother David ran for vice president on the Libertarian Party ticket in 1980, the party platform called for abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy and the Food and Drug Administration.

    Every winter, the network holds its marquee fundraising event in the Coachella Valley in Southern California. Hundreds of donors fly in to learn how their money is being spent and plan for the coming year. Former staffers describe an emphasis on preventing leaks that bordered on obsession. The network often rents out an entire hotel for the event, keeping out eavesdroppers. Documents left behind are methodically shredded. One recent attendee recalled Koch security staff in a golf cart escorting their Uber driver out of the hotel to make sure he left. The former staffers spoke on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation.

    TUHO: Another suggestion in the book is that academic institutions and scientific organisations need to do more to stand up against anti-scientific aggression, and to encourage scientific outreach and public engagement. Hotez notes that the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—along with many individual scientists—have largely stood on the sidelines of these debates, most likely for fear of being seen to be “political”. As Hotez argues, the difficulty with this position is that the anti-science problem we face is political. When scientists refuse to acknowledge this, we are being unscientific, because we are ignoring evidence. Similarly, when scientists dismiss anti-scientific claims as “emotional”, we are ignoring the well-established evidence that most people respond more to emotional appeals—and appeals to core values—than they do to dry facts. And when we stand on the sidelines, refusing on principle to become involved in a partisan debate, we allow anti-scientific forces to frame the terms of that debate.

    The individuals and organisations who opposed mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic and resist vaccination today in the USA overlap with those who deny climate change, and for a known reason: they are generally ideologically opposed to “big government”, whether in the marketplace to put a tax on carbon-based fuels, or in schools, workplaces, and public places to require masking and vaccination. It is not a coincidence that the Great Barrington Declaration, which opposed COVID-19 lockdowns and advocated herd immunity, was the product of a conference hosted by the American Institute for Economic Research, which promotes “personal freedom, free enterprise, property rights, limited government, and sound money”. It is also no coincidence that the Great Barrington Declaration—like the Oregon Petition before it that challenged mainstream climate science—takes the form of a petition. Petitions are political instruments, not scientific ones.

    "V srpnu společnost Elektrárna Chvaletice vlastněná miliardářem Pavlem Tykačem podala proti našemu spolku návrh na zrušení domény elektrarnachvaletice.cz, na které od roku 2019 běží web který provoz kritizuje.
    Najali jsme si adovokáta a bráníme se, jeho práci ale musíme zaplatit a připravit se na pokračování sporu.

    (...)

    O co jde? Elektrárna Chvaletice už roky bojuje o získání výjimky na množství emisí rtuti, protože ani po rekonstrukci neplní zákonné limity. O celé kauze více zde: https://nolog.link/s/seven-fb

    Zároveň společnost kolem roku 2018 spustila kampaň "7 Pro Čistý Vzduch" (https://nolog.link/s/7arch), kde v podstatě tvrdila že jejich uhelná elektrárna čistí ovzduší 🙃.

    (...)

    V reakci na to vznikl později satirický web elektrarnachvaletice.cz, který se proti absurdním tvrzením elektrárny ohrazuje a který nyní provozujeme. Elektrárna argumentuje, že naše doména je shodná s chráněným označením její firmy a že poškozujeme její dobré jméno.

    The state of California has filed a sweeping climate lawsuit against Exxon Mobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron, as well as the domestic oil industry's biggest lobby, the American Petroleum Institute.

    The suit, filed on Friday in San Francisco Superior Court, claims that the companies misled the public for decades about climate change and the dangers of fossil fuels. It demands the companies help fund recovery efforts related to California's extreme weather events, from rising sea levels to drought and wildfires, that have been supercharged by human-caused climate change.

    klimatickou agendu ma po timmermansovi prejmout typek, ktery pracoval tumtudummm… pro Shell! fuck me

    In order to protect the integrity of the European Unions' climate action, we urge you to ensure that the EU Commissioner nominee Wopke Hoekstra is not given the climate portfolio as planned.

    As a former Shell employee with a history of support for policies and initiatives that are in conflict with climate solutions, this would be a dangerous appointment. We are asking for a climate champion leading the EU's green transition and not someone who is friendly with the fossil fuel industry. And that we address the corporate capture of EU politics with a conflict of interest framework.

    Take action for a real EU climate leader

    Exxon’s public acceptance in 2006 of the risks posed by climate change was an early act of Rex Tillerson, an Exxon lifer who became CEO that year. Some viewed him as a moderating force who brought Exxon in line with the scientific consensus.

    The documents reviewed by the Journal, which haven’t been previously reported, cast Tillerson’s decadelong tenure in a different light. They show that Tillerson, as well as some of Exxon’s board directors and other top executives, sought to cast doubt on the severity of climate change’s impacts. Exxon scientists supported research that questioned the findings of mainstream climate science, even after the company said it would stop funding think tanks and others that promoted climate-change denial.
