<font face="Calibri">For most of us, glaciers are apparently
unimportant sheets of ice high up on mountain ranges far away. But
no les than 50% of the entire human species relies directly or
indirectly on the water those glaciers provide during their summer
melt. Our warming atmosphere means those glaciers are disappearing
fast! So where are they all, and what are the implications for the
coming decades?</font><br>

<p><font face="Calibri">Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the CEO of oil and
gas company ADNOC, has been appointed President of the UN
climate talks (COP28) happening later this year in the UAE.
This is completely unacceptable given the importance of the
COP Presidency in organizing the negotiations.<br>
<br>
Last year, at COP27, over 80 countries called for a phase out
or phase down of all fossil fuels. The only way to keep
warming below 1.5ºC is to stop fossil fuel expansion. But big
oil and gas companies are still putting forward new fields for
approval, and ADNOC is on track to be the company with the
second most oil and gas expansion from 2023 to 2025.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://act.priceofoil.org/sign/kick-polluters-out/?t=4&akid=45093%2E238921%2EF0eaxJ">https://act.priceofoil.org/sign/kick-polluters-out/?t=4&akid=45093%2E238921%2EF0eaxJ</a></font><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<font face="Calibri">On Thursday, Politico broke another shocking
story revealing the way fossil fuel interests are at the heart of
the UAE’s plan to organize the climate talks. Not only has ADNOC’s
CEO been appointed as the President of the negotiations – but the
UAE has decided to have the climate team in charge of the talks
share offices with the fossil fuel company!<br>
<br>
That’s not just putting the fox in charge of the hen house. That’s
putting the hens in the fox’s den!<br>
<br>
We’re now calling on the UNFCCC Secretariat — the governing body
in charge of the climate talks — to protect the climate talks from
big polluters by:<br>
- - Requiring that Al Jaber either step down from the COP
Presidency or resign as CEO of ADNOC;<br>
- - Ensuring that the Presidency team is entirely separate
from ADNOC and any other oil and gas companies; and<br>
- - Adopting an Accountability Framework that makes sure big
polluters cannot capture the climate negotiations.<br>

<font face="Calibri"><b>‘Climate deniers are victims not villains’:
A psychologist’s guide to winning them over</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">By Jessica Kleczka </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">22/01/2023 </font><br>
<font face="Calibri">It’s not by accident that climate denial is one
of the biggest threats to meaningful action.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Fossil fuel companies have spent millions on
lobbying politicians, advising their PR teams to sow uncertainty
about solid climate science, and refusing to change their business
model. All despite knowing the effects of burning their products
since the 1960s.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">To this day, the industry has a huge presence
at climate summits like COP27, and governments accept generous
donations from sceptics and fossil fuel interests.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">I encounter climate deniers regularly on social
media, as I dedicate part of my work towards science communication
and public advocacy.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">A lot of them are automated bots. Others are
angry men stuck in polarising media cycles, many with industry
interests and affiliations, who see advocating for a liveable
planet as “woke propaganda”.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Both groups are vocal minorities, and neither
of them are worth wasting much energy on.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But the most common form of climate denial is
not the aggressive kind, but passive denial. This is from people
who know that climate change exists, but don’t care much about it
or avoid the subject altogether: so-called dismissives.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Some climate deniers are people you wouldn’t
expect it from, sometimes belonging to groups which will be
heavily affected by rising temperatures.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Climate deniers are victims, not villains</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Your average climate dismissive is not an evil
business mogul looking to squeeze as much profit as possible
before the world burns. And I believe that we are often on the
wrong track when we demonise people for not believing in “the
whole global warming thing”.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">My academic research focuses on climate
anxiety, and I find that climate denial often stems from a fear of
change and what the climate crisis will mean for our lives,
livelihoods and lifestyles.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Because climate change can seem too enormous of
a threat to tackle as an individual, hostility is instead directed
at those advocating for climate action.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Humans have evolved to engage in a
fight-flight-freeze response whenever we’re faced with a threat.
While some people respond to the climate crisis by fighting it
(for example, by engaging in activism), many experience a freeze
response (fear and inability to act), or indeed a flight response
- avoiding the problem altogether.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">While it can feel counter-intuitive, meeting
climate dismissives with compassion can go a long way and help
them break free from denial.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Many people are victims of their own emotional
response to the climate crisis, rather than villains. As the
ultimate threat, the climate crisis triggers their fear of change.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The key is to help people understand that
runaway climate change poses a much bigger risk than pretty much
any alternative.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Delay is the new denial</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Climate deniers are arguably a dying breed
these days. A mere 4 per cent of people in the UK, for example,
report not feeling at all concerned about the crisis.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But a new and insidious tactic is threatening
to undermine our efforts to build a more sustainable future:
climate delay, spearheaded by the fossil fuel industry and
politicians with links to it.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Julia Steinberger, Professor of Societal
Challenges of Climate Change at the University of Lausanne, has
studied the forms that delay takes. Redirecting responsibility is
one of the four main tactics that she and colleagues have
identified; with people shifting the blame away from governments
and polluting industries and onto individuals.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Others are pushing non-transformative
solutions, in particular technologies like carbon capture or
storage which are as yet unproven to be effective at scale.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Focusing on the negatives of climate action has
also gained in popularity. Some claim, for example, that “shifting
away from fossil fuels will make people colder and poorer” while
ignoring the devastating impacts of failing to do so.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Many fossil fuel companies engage in a tactic
coined wokewashing - exploiting communities of colour, who are
disproportionately impacted by fossil fuel pollution, in their
advertising. Often those ads will imply that better living
conditions in countries such as India are only possible with the
help of Shell and co - perpetuating white saviorism and
imperialism.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Lastly, surrendering to doomism is often framed
as “adapting to climate change” or “accepting the inevitable” and
plays directly into the hands of those most responsible for
climate change, while the most affected communities are left to
fend for themselves.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Though we must learn to validate our
climate-related feelings, it is crucial to understand that giving
in to doomism means betraying people around the world for whom
climate change is an acute and life-threatening danger.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">We can lean into fear and anxiety, whilst
channelling our pain for the world into action.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>So how do we combat delay and denial?</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Many people don’t see the climate crisis as
something that’s immediately relevant to their life.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">In my research with Imperial College and
Greener & Cleaner charity, we found that identifying the
issues that are important to people and using them as a first
point of engagement is often more effective than bombarding people
with scary data about an issue that can often feel distant.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Instead of climate change, it can sometimes be
more effective to talk about air pollution, access to green
spaces, or the cost-of-living crisis.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Another component of effective climate change
communication is speaking to people’s values.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">As Katharine Hayhoe writes in her great book
Saving Us, “the biggest challenge we face is not science denial.
It’s a combination of tribalism, complacency, and fear”.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">She cites research which found that people’s
attitudes to climate change are most strongly correlated with
their values, worldviews and political orientation, rather than
education and knowledge.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Challenging people’s sense of belonging, or
even attacking them on a personal level for their
climate-avoidance, is only likely to increase their defences.
Meeting people where they’re at is more likely to lead to success,
together with reducing psychological distance to an issue which
often seems far away from our daily lives and struggles.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Hayhoe gives the example of explaining the
impacts of drought and chaotic weather to farmers, without
mentioning the word ‘climate’.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri"><b>Just talk about it</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Finally, we must reconsider the way we
communicate the climate crisis.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Many news stories frame the climate crisis in
terms of imminent apocalypse and societal breakdown. While we must
acknowledge these very real threats, the reality is that most
people feel demotivated and terrified when encountering doomist
headlines, resulting in a flight or freeze response.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Perhaps counterintuitively, our brains have
evolved to pay more attention to negative information - though
fear-based approaches are effective in getting people to feel
concerned in the first place. But research shows that we are most
motivated to take action when we see solutions, hope, and perhaps
most importantly, others taking action.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Rather than climate denial, our biggest
challenge is climate delay and dismissiveness at a time when
taking bold and ambitious action is crucial. The reality is that
most of us are concerned about the climate crisis and want to do
something about it; but most people don’t know where to start.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">As climate-aware people, reaching out and
offering guidance is often all it takes to break through the
defences. And the best way to achieve this is to simply talk about
the climate crisis - at work, in schools, at the dinner table. By
normalising climate conversations, we encourage more healthy
emotional responses.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Rather than sowing seeds of fear and
polarisation, encouraging vulnerability and hope in equal measure
is how we motivate people to take action for a better future.</font><br>
