In addition, #Trump ofcls have been recruiting #scientists to help them repeal the 2009 “#endangerment finding,” which determined that #GreenhouseGases pose a threat to #PublicHealth & welfare, & which now underpins much of the govt’s #legal authority to slow #GlobalWarming….

Their hiring comes after the #Trump admin dismissed hundreds of #scientists & #experts who had been compiling the #FederalGovernment’s flagship report on how climate change is affecting the country. The admin has also systematically removed mentions of #ClimateChange from govt websites while slashing federal #funding for research on #GlobalWarming.

They are Steven E. Koonin, a #physicist & author of a best-selling book that calls #ClimateScience “unsettled”; John Christy, an #atmospheric scientist who doubts the extent to which #human activity has caused #GlobalWarming; & Roy Spencer, a #meteorologist who believes that #clouds have had a greater influence on warming than #humans have [okay that last one is just bonkers].

The #Energy Dept has hired at least 3 scientists who are well-known for their rejection of the overwhelming scientific consensus on #ClimateChange, acc/to records reviewed by NYT.
The #scientists are listed in the #DOE’s internal email system as current employees of the agency, the records show.

Many Americans will needlessly suffer & die over the coming years as a direct results of Trump burning down #America 's early warning systems in the name of #ClimateDenialism while the hard right promotes increasingly silly yet super-reckless conspiracies like #WeatherControl.

"Despite #Farage and #Tice’s best efforts to make the #climatecrisis the latest frontier of a #culturewar, a majority of those who voted #Reform in these #elections support #policies to keep the #UK on track to meet its #netzero targets. The message from #voters of all colours is clear: we don’t want #Trump-style #climatedenialism here."

Who’s behind one of the major accounts promoting climate denialism on X? #ClimateDenialism #TwitterX #ClimateChange https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/11/news/major-accounts-climate-denialism-x
I recently published a short piece on my employer's blog about #ClimateDenialism and the public debate surrounding it.
The piece highlights some of the characteristics of the phenomenon in Finland. Despite these peculiarities, the reception of the blog text follows a pattern that is internationally recognisable in different contexts.
This opinion piece from The Tyee could not be more on point:

#Canada has always had its issues dealing with the USA's economic and cultural influence. But with many well-funded, mask-off fascist US political groups coming into power in 2025, they will have their eyes set on Canada, just like they did with the #kkkonvoy in 2022.
Stopping the privatization of #healthcare, pilfering of pensions, and #climateDenialism will be crucial for #cdnPoli in 2025

USA Federal Election Exit polls did not even *ask* about climate change or environment!! 🙄
US voters name democracy and economy as top issues

Apparently <5% of #Alberta #UCP members and <1% of Albertans voted for this #GOPNorth Premier but she is at war with #children, #publicEducation, #healthcare, #justice, #democracy, the #environment - in fact everything that serves a functioning democracy and healthy citizens. And she is all in on #ClimateDenialism https://www.desmog.com/2024/11/02/alberta-conservatives-pass-climate-denial-resolution-12-to-celebrate-co2-pollution/

" #Conspiracytheories about #weathermanipulation are, unfortunately, the logical next step in #climatedenialism, and the traction they are getting shows how hard it is to get out of this absurdly terrifying loop."

UK environmental journalist Leo Hickman shared a transcript of the #ClimateChange section of the #Trump #Musk 3 hour interview. It’s worth a read.
Trump simply cannot hide his #ClimateDenialism, while Musk falls into my definition of evil. He’s deliberately fuzzy and mansplains a lot, but he basically knows the risks and the timescales. And he downplays it all for votes.

I saw these photos on mastodon a few days ago about of the huge melt over 15 years of the Rhone Glacier…good to see it’s gained media attention, even if it is the result of climate deniers on X.
The speed of the glacier’s disappearance really should leave everyone in no doubt that #ClimateChange is real and human made.
My boss mentioned that she had heard a positive reference to Ed Miliband and DESNZ this morning…and then moved on.
So I went online to see what she was talking about. Unfortunately our default browser at work is Bing.
And suddenly I realised how people become sucked into this rightwing vortex of #ClimateDenialism…
