<b>Carbon: How calls for climate justice are shaking the world</b><br>
<br>
Greta Thunberg: 'We cannot separate social justice from climate
justice'<br>
The starkest inequalities are seen in the poorest countries of the
world, where people leaving only a tiny carbon footprint are at the
front line of climate chaos, from floods to ruined crops. But even
in wealthy countries like the UK, there are warnings of carbon
inequality.<br>
<br>
Amy Norman, a researcher at the think-tank, The Social Market
Foundation, says politicians need to level with voters on what the
transition to net zero will mean for the way we live.<br>
<br>
There's potential for a public and political backlash over issues of
unfairness, she says, which could damage trust and ultimately the
wider transition to net zero (removing as many emissions as we
produce).<br>
- -<br>
Harriet Lamb says there is a danger that measures designed to
encourage cleaner, greener living might exacerbate existing
socio-economic divisions and derail the drive towards a net zero
world.<br>
<br>
"We have to have exactly the right policies that tackle climate
inequalities and social inequalities at the same time because the
two are absolutely intertwined," she says.<br>
<br>
And while people have been talking about the problem of climate
injustice for decades, young activists are now giving it new
momentum.<br>
<br>
"This is not David against Goliath, which is the cliché
representation of so much of civil society, this is Goliath slugging
it out against Goliath," she says.<br>
<br>
"I would not say the battle is yet won for those pushing for the
dramatic action we need to ensure we do see climate justice but I
would say the scales are beginning to tip."<br>

<b>Fact vs. fake – why don’t we trust science any more? | DW
Documentary</b><br>
May 2, 2021<br>
DW Documentary<br>
Asbestos, climate change, 5G, coronavirus - the public is caught in
a battle for the truth. Science is being manipulated and undermined
to sway opinion and create doubt. What are the mechanisms behind it
all?<br>
<br>
Never has scientific knowledge seemed so vast, detailed and widely
shared. And yet it appears to be increasingly challenged.<br>
<br>
It’s no longer surprising to see private corporations put strategies
in place to confuse public debate and paralyze political
decision-making. Why did it take decades to classify tobacco as
harmful? Why do people still deny human involvement in climate
change? Overwhelmed by an excess of information, how can we, as
citizens, sort out fact from fiction? <br>
<br>
One by one, this film dismantles the machinations that aim to turn
science against itself. With the help of declassified archives and
testimonies from experts, lobbyists and politicians, this
investigation plunges us into the science of doubt. Along with a
team of experts, including philosophers, economists, cognitive
scientists, politicians, and scholars, we explore concrete examples
of how doubt can be sown, and try to understand the process.<br>

<b>Nenana Ice Classic, Alaska’s favorite guessing game, ends with a
twist</b><br>
Assssociated Press: 3 days ago ago<br>
The 2021 Nenana Ice Classic ended at 12:50 p.m. Friday<br>
<br>
NENANA — The ice has gone out on the Tanana River, ending the annual
Nenana Ice Classic, one of Alaska’s most famous guessing games.<br>
<br>
Ice classic manager Cherrie Forness said the game ended at 12:50
p.m. Friday when the ice shifted and the clock inside a tripod set
up on the river ice tripped.<br>
<br>
And in this pandemic year, it’s probably no surprise that it all
happened backwards, she said.<br>
<br>
When the ice goes out, the tripod usually starts going downriver or
toward the south bank. This year, it went the other direction,
upriver, apparently just enough to trip the mechanism that stopped
the clock.<br>
<br>
And the tripod was still sitting in the same spot hours after the
game ended instead of floating off with the river.<br>
<br>
It’s not known how many people paying $2.50 per ticket correctly
guessed the day, hour and minute the ice went out. She said they are
still entering data, and it might take a week to finish that task.<br>

<b>John Kasich on Climate and Conservatives | Amanpour and Company</b><br>
Apr 22, 2021<br>
Amanpour and Company<br>
Many individual states have forged ahead with climate action -- even
during periods of inaction or indecision by the federal government.
As Biden’s ambitious pledge places the climate crisis at the top of
the government's agenda, it’s perhaps hard to remember that the
environment was once a bipartisan issue. Former Ohio Gov. John
Kasich is committed to raising climate change awareness, and
explains to Walter Isaacson how he thinks the GOP has lost its way
in the thick of climate denial. <br>
