<b>Young Republicans tried to focus GOP presidential contenders to
act on climate change</b><br>
JANUARY 22, 2024<br>
HEARD ON MORNING EDITION<br>
FROM NHPR<br>
By Mara Hoplamazian<br>
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.<br>

<b>Crack Down On New Climate Denial! Nonprofit tells YouTube</b><br>

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.<br>
<br>
The PDF report is here:

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

<b>Roger Hallam: Can Rolling Climate Dice End The Carbon Regime?</b><br>
Nick Breeze ClimateGenn<br>
Jan 21, 2024 ClimateGenn #podcast produced by Nick Breeze<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<b>Women added to Cop29 climate summit committee after backlash</b><br>
Panel was originally composed of 28 men, a move condemned as
‘regressive’ and ‘shocking’<br>
Damian Carrington Environment editor<br>
@dpcarrington<br>
19 Jan 2024 <br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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”.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
“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.”<br>
<br>
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.<br>

</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font> January 22, 1970: In his State of the
Union address, President Nixon declares:<br>
<blockquote>"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? <br>
<br>
"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. <br>
<br>
"Clean air, clean water, open spaces—these should once again be
the birthright of every American. If we act now, they can be. <br>
<br>
"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...<br>
<br>
"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. <br>
<br>
"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."<br>
