Climate Change is a Myth. John Clauser, PhD

Fossil fuel companies are running “a massive mis- and disinformation campaign” so that countries will slow down the adoption of renewable energy and the speed with which they “transition away” from a carbon-intensive economy, the UN has said.

Selwin Hart, the assistant secretary general of the UN, said that talk of a global “backlash” against climate action was being stoked by the fossil fuel industry, in an effort to persuade world leaders to delay emissions-cutting policies. The perception among many political observers of a rejection of climate policies was a result of this campaign, rather than reflecting the reality of what people think, he added.

Proč konspirátoři nenávidějí klimatickou vědu?
Vojtěch Pecka
Rudolf Huliak, bývalý kandidát na ministra životního prostředí, tvrdí, že svět ovládají perverzní elity, které chtějí legalizovat pedofilii a kanibalismus a využívají klimatickou změnu jako nástroj globální kontroly. Tato šokující tvrzení nejsou ovšem lokálními fantaziemi, ale projevem globálního fenoménu, jehož součástí je využívání potenciálu internetu a sociálních sítí k orchestrování kolektivních fantazií za účelem získání politického vlivu.

Alexander Etkind situates the successes and volumes of the protest movement against the endemic problems of the post-Soviet petrostate. In the modern world, resource-dependent states make their population economically and politically irrelevant for the purposes of the 'elites' that run these states. Many thousands of women and men marched through the Russian capital in the winter of 2011-12, protesting against election fraud, fearing the police, and surviving the frost. Nobody knew what would happen to their country during the next five years: the wars launched in Ukraine and Syria, massive recession, corruption scandals, and more election fraud. Russia's decline had started well before the electoral crisis of 2011, but it was masked by exorbitant oil prices that were believed to be an organic, endless feature of the modern economy. Sociologists have depicted the protesters as young educated urbanites- the Moscow middle class, 'the advanced minority', the 'creative class'.

While there has been much research on the effect of valuable natural resource extraction on a state’s domestic development (e.g., the “resource curse”), Wilson Center Fellow Jeff Colgan focuses on how natural resource extraction affects foreign policy. In Petro-Aggression: When Oil Causes War, Colgan finds that “petrostates” – countries where revenue from oil exports exceeds 10 percent of GDP – are twice as likely to engage in inter-state conflict than non-petrostates.

Kanada zpřísnila pokuty za greenwashing. Ropná společnost následně stáhla z webu informace o CCS technologiích - Ekolist.cz

Společnost Imperial Oil, která je dceřinou společností ExxonMobile, svého času tvrdila, že technologie zachytávání uhlíku (CCS) bude klíčová pro splnění cílů Pařížské dohody. Po té, co v Kanadě začal platit zákon postihující nepodložená environmentální tvrzení, tzv. greenwashing, společnost Imperial Oil ze svého webu stáhla desítky dokumentů, které se o této technologii zmiňovaly.

Rage against the fossil machine: The deactivation of fossil energy production in Italy

The ‘fossil machine’ is the powerful and widespread network that supports fossil fuels and obstructs their phase-out. This article assumes that in order to advance the decarbonisation of fossil-based socio-economic systems it is first necessary to ‘deactivate’ the related fossil machine: to investigate how to do so we propose a new reticular approach. The article adopts this approach to investigate the deactivation of the 2019–2022 fossil machine built around a group of coal plants in Civitavecchia – the long-standing fossil energy city close to Rome, Italy – whose planned conversion to gas was eventually abandoned. The article explains the descriptive and analytical role of the reticular approach to the fossil machine. It then uses it descriptively to present, frame, and discuss the practices of destabilisation and disruption and the agents of transition that carried out these practices to deactivate Civitavecchia's fossil machine. It concludes by reflecting on the potential of the reticular approach.
