Know thy enemy.
Summary:
In “Climate Deniers Shift Tactics to ‘Inactivism’,” Michael Mann discusses the transition from climate change denial to a new strategy of hindering meaningful action on climate change, which he terms “inactivism.” Fossil fuel interests, previously focused on discrediting climate science, now deflect attention from systemic solutions and promote individual responsibility for climate change. Tactics include promoting the idea that lifestyle choices, not corporate policies, drive climate change, and sowing division within the environmental community. Mann argues for policy interventions and highlights the optimism inspired by young activists demanding action on climate change.
He is the guy that made the famous hockey stick graph.
At this point, I’m rooting for the climate to knock the surface nuisance that is humanity down to size. We are subject to it, not the other way around.
I’m tired of capitalists trying to reframe and negotiate with physics.
It’s like they’re perpetually shocked they can’t simply bribe nature itself to play ball like any other captured world government.
If you get the opportunity I would recommend reading ‘Climate’ by Greta Thunberg. She has managed to collate a fucking great bunch of the worlds top climate scientists in their given fields. It’s pretty eye opening and shocking.
