climate change*
JANUARY 22, 2024
HEARD ON MORNING EDITION
FROM NHPR
By Mara Hoplamazian
Ahead of New Hampshire's primary, conservatives concerned about climate 
change were pushing GOP presidential candidates to not only talk about 
the issue, but pitch plans to reduce environmental harm.

The Center for Countering Digital Hate put out a new report a few days 
ago, in which they warn that climate misinformation continuous to 
flourish on YouTube. They want YouTube to take more action. I had a look 
and I don't like what I read.

*The New Climate Denial *
How social media platforms and content producers profit by spreading new 
forms of climate denial
Contents
1 Introduction
2 Executive Summary
3 Climate denialist claims can be categorized as Old Denial and New Denial
4 Climate deniers are moving from the Old Denial of global warming and 
its causes…
…to a New Denial of climate impacts, solutions and the climate movement
5 We used AI to analyze denialist claims in thousands of hours of 
YouTube content
6 YouTube data charts a clear shift from Old Denial to New Denial
7 New Denial now constitutes 70% of climate denialist claims on YouTube
Why are deniers changing their focus?
  Case Study: YouTube channel BlazeTV transitioned from Old to New Denial
Example: Climate change as a conspiracy
8 New Denial: Deniers have shifted to attacks on climate solutions and 
advocates
Example: Clean energy won’t work
Example: Climate policies are harmful
Example: The climate movement is unreliable
Example: Climate science is unreliable
  Case Study: Jordan Peterson’s output of New Denial spiked in the last 
two years
Example: Climate solutions won’t work
9 Old Denial: Deniers have shifted away from claims the climate is cooling
Example: Weather is too cold for global warming
Example: We’re heading into an ice age
Example: Ice isn’t melting
10 YouTube makes up to $13.4 million a year from channels posting denial
YouTube’s policies on climate denial only cover Old Denial
YouTube is failing to enforce its policy against monetising Old Denial
  Ads on Old Denial: global warming is not happening
Ads on Old Denial: greenhouse gasses do not cause warming
Ads on New Denial: climate impacts are not bad
Ads on New Denial: climate solutions won’t work
Ads on New Denial: climate movement or science is unreliable
11 Recommendations
1 Google must update its policy on climate denial content
2 Digital platforms must demonetize and de-amplify climate denial content
3 Climate advocates: use this report as a call to action to address New 
Denial

*Roger Hallam: Can Rolling Climate Dice End The Carbon Regime?*
Nick Breeze ClimateGenn
Jan 21, 2024  ClimateGenn #podcast  produced by Nick Breeze
In this ClimateGenn episode I speak with Roger Hallam, original 
cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and other socially 
focussed organisations. He also hosts the ‘Designing The Revolution’ 
podcast. Roger’s communication style is often confrontational and very 
direct. In this interview Roger discusses where he thinks we are now and 
the complex sociological processes at work that will determine the future.

Moving into 2024 we are faced with the reality that the largest fossil 
fuel producers are expanding production around the world, demonstrating 
disregard for all the scientific warnings and broken-promises that 
litter the decades since the 1970’s, regarding over consumption and 
carbon pollution.

*Women added to Cop29 climate summit committee after backlash*
Panel was originally composed of 28 men, a move condemned as 
‘regressive’ and ‘shocking’

The president of Azerbaijan has added 12 women to the previously 
all-male organising committee for the Cop29 global climate summit, which 
the country will host in December.

The move follows a backlash after the Guardian reported the initial 
28-man composition of the committee, which was called “regressive” by 
the She Changes Climate campaign group. “Climate change affects the 
whole world, not half of it,” the group said.

Christiana Figueres, the UN’s climate chief when the historic Paris 
agreement was delivered in 2015, had called the all-male panel “shocking 
and unacceptable”.

President Ilham Aliyev also added a further man to the committee, which 
now comprises 29 men and 12 women. Among the women added are Umayra 
Taghiyeva, the deputy minister of ecology and natural resources, the 
human rights commissioner, Sabina Aliyeva, and Bahar Muradova, the chair 
of the state committee on family, women and children’s problems.

“This is positive progress but we are still far from a 50:50 gender 
balance,” said Elise Buckle, co-founder of She Changes Climate. “This is 
a quick fix but not enough.”

Almost all members of the Cop29 committee are government ministers or 
officials, including the head of the state security service. The head of 
Azerbaijan’s state gas distribution network is also on the committee.

/[From the Richard Nixon foundation -  just listen to him at 24 minutes 
in ]/
/*January 22, 1970 */
January 22, 1970: In his State of the Union address, President Nixon 
declares:

    "The great question of the seventies is, shall we surrender to our
    surroundings, or shall we make our peace with nature and begin to
    make reparations for the damage we have done to our air, to our
    land, and to our water?

    "Restoring nature to its natural state is a cause beyond party and
    beyond factions. It has become a common cause of all the people of
    this country. It is a cause of particular concern to young
    Americans, because they more than we will reap the grim consequences
    of our failure to act on programs which are needed now if we are to
    prevent disaster later.

    "Clean air, clean water, open spaces—these should once again be the
    birthright of every American. If we act now, they can be.

    "We still think of air as free. But clean air is not free, and
    neither is clean water. The price tag on pollution control is high.
    Through our years of past carelessness we incurred a debt to nature,
    and now that debt is being called...

    "The automobile is our worst polluter of the air. Adequate control
    requires further advances in engine design and fuel composition. We
    shall intensify our research, set increasingly strict standards, and
    strengthen enforcement procedures—and we shall do it now.

    "We can no longer afford to consider air and water common property,
    free to be abused by anyone without regard to the consequences.
    Instead, we should begin now to treat them as scarce resources,
    which we are no more free to contaminate than we are free to throw
    garbage into our neighbor's yard."
