He is well known for his actions lobbying for the tobacco industry with his claims that second hand smoke is 'not' bad for your health, contradicting the well established medical evidence. But S. Fred Singer did not let the evidence bias his perspective.

In Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown, Andreas Malm and Wim Carton present a history of the present phase of the crisis, likely to extend decades into the future, as the fossil fuel industry swims in the largest profits ever made. Money continues to flow into the construction of pipelines, platforms, terminals, mines – assets that will have to be destroyed for the planet to remain liveable. Too much heat has become officially acceptable because such revolutionary destruction is not. But should the rest of us abide by that priority?

Unflinchingly critical of business-as-usual and the calls for surrender to it, sweeping in scope, stirring and sobering, Overshoot lays out the stakes for the climate struggle in the years ahead.

In 2022, oil companies submitted a plea to the U.S. Supreme Court that warned of the “massive monetary liability” U.S. climate lawsuits could impose on the fossil fuel industry. Since then, Big Oil has deployed a range of unusual tactics designed to derail legal efforts to hold them accountable for their contributions to the climate crisis.

Those reactions are just one sign that climate lawsuits are a mounting threat to oil and gas majors across the globe. Climate cases against Big Oil have nearly tripled each year since the Paris Agreement was reached in 2015 — an indication that “Organizations and communities around the world are increasingly turning to legal action to hold these fossil fuel companies accountable,” a new analysis found.

TUHO: Where ideology meets private interest: the three-part composition of climate obstruction in the United States
A network of organizations working to oppose climate action, called the climate change counter- movement (CCCM), has long been a critical yet highly opaque subject of study for social scientists concerned with climate politics. We leverage a new combined dataset of boards of directors, financial contributions, and texts produced by CCCM members to characterize its sources of support and social structure. We show that foundations tend to make more frequent and larger donations to CCCM nonprofits when they are linked through a board member. We also show that CCCM nonprofits which are more distant from each other in the social network of board members produce different climate change discourses. Community detection methods robustly detect three communities within the CCCM: conservative think tanks (CTT), oil and gas trade associations, and utility, coal, and manufacturing trade associations, each with unique goals within the countermovement. The findings suggest that the climate countermovement is an interface among these communities which together ensure that climate action obstruction is achieved on different but complementary fronts, through both discursive and more concrete policy efforts. This paper also introduces a new way of understanding organized climate obstruction and makes significant methodological contributions in the study of social movements and countermov

Na sobotní video natočené na břehu Labe je Jan Skalický hrdý. „Má dneska přes čtyři tisíce reakcí. A z toho 3900 pozitivních. Já to ještě jednou zopakuju: čtyři tisíce reakcí, 3900 pozitivních,“ počítá.

Senátorský kandidát hnutí Stačilo! a bývalý šéf Ředitelství vodních cest na videu – zjednodušeně – říká: Vláda umí jen strašit – covidem, válkou na Ukrajině a teď povodní. A to proto, že chce zřejmě ovlivnit víkendové krajské a senátní volby.

„Ano, je tady velká voda,“ uznává Jan Skalický na záběrech u jezu v ústecké části Střekov. „Ale je to taková velká voda, aby lidé přemýšleli jen o katastrofách, které se sem řítí, aby nechodili ven, aby nemohla být kontaktní kampaň a aby volby prošly v takovém krizovém stavu?“ ptá se ve videu zveřejněném na facebooku.
