"We’re able to do this because previously it was a disproportionate and poorly targeted old EU ruling that blocked these homes.
"Thankfully we can now reverse that, and alongside that we are investing hundreds of millions of pounds to continue protecting and enhancing our precious natural environment."
Who honestly believes this *rap from Sunak?

The nazi-joke-goverment has started to undermine the work Sanna Marin and her government made for climate action on municipal level. Opposition parties and municipal officials are baffled by this, as the savings achieved are minimal and the law had only put into operation and was really popular. #ClimateEmegency #naziJokeGovernment #politics #politicsFI #finland #climateDelay #climateDenialism #climateAction #defunded

You know when someone accepts man-made climate change, but then explains why we should do nothing about it?
We call these "Discourses of #ClimateDelay" & there are 12 of them. We've written a paper about it https://doi.org/10.1017/sus.2020.13
THREAD with examples from the transport sector
Climate delay discourses, often in combination with #climatedenialism and climate-impact scepticism, are used to erode public and political support for climate policies.
We found 12 #ClimateDelay discourses that can be grouped by their underlying logic into those that:
- redirect responsibility;
- push non-transformative solutions;
- emphasize the downsides of climate policies;
- surrender to #climatechange.

Have you been looking for a way to report #Elsevier to one or the many governments that can help prosecute them for their behavior? Well, look no more!
The #StopElsevier website provides with direct links to governmental agencies in the UK, Australia, US and EU to which you can tip off and report concerns about #greenwashing and false #sustainability claims. 6/n

The #StopElsevier website provides you with lots of resources and links to learn about #Elsevier's ties to #oil, #gas and #coal corporations. This includes providing them with information and data services for new areas for fossil fuel extraction, housing exhibitions for the industry, and #lobbying with politicians to prevent #ClimateAction 2/n

It appears the UK Government's environmental improvement plan isn't so much a plan as a wishlist, and a pretty wishy-washy one at that. "Ambitious" it's not. More greenwashing from a party in Government that doesn't really give a fig for nature #agriculture #food #climatedelay #nature #environment #HypocrisyAlert

4. Bullying and abuse of power in intra-church disputes. More often than you might expect in an organisation allegedly founded on the life and teachings of a victim of abused power, many of those who dominate church life do so with the typical tactics of the bully: grooming, intimidation, gaslighting, manipulation, dog-whistles, merely performative contrition (when absolutely necessary), and occasionally outright violence.
5. Embrace of a hard-right political agenda (or willingness to ally themselves with the same): creeping #authoritarianism, #ClimateDenial (or its even more insidious cousin #ClimateDelay), #xenophobia, denial/minimisation of colonial violence and its legacy, oppression of the poor, victim-blaming, and generally a more-or-less vociferous support for a status quo of #plutocracy, #imperialism, #neocolonialism and #patriarchy + #cisheteronormativity.
There are other factors, but in my experience talking with people who have left the church, or who have stopped identifying as Christian, or who have abandoned faith (NB these three are not synonymous), almost 100% cited one or more of these five reasons (often all of them) amongst their primary motives.

@scottwahlstrom I think the techno-economic nudges have always been used mostly to prevent us from dealing with the multiple root causes of the predicament from colonialism to modern techno-utopianism and consumerism.
It's getting pretty obvious that especially the wealthiest and most powerful socio-economic groups want to maintain their deep-held beliefs about society rather than to maintain a livable planet for all.
So the discourses of #ClimateDelay emerge: https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how-discourses-of-delay-are-used-to-slow-climate-action/
Recognize the #ClimateDelay
"In another group of discourses, we see arguments that advance relatively trivial solutions to climate change (....)
These include relying on uncertain technologies and potential future breakthroughs (“technological optimism”), making vague claims that fossil fuels are part of the solution (“fossil-fuel solutionism”), or calling for voluntary measures as opposed to restrictive policies, such as a carbon tax (“no sticks, just carrots”)"

"Politik ist ignorant, Wirtschaft soll entscheiden" (4,7)

@ProjectFearlessness This is a good insight. Now that denialism has pretty much run out of road (the effects of climate change are a bit too obvious), delayism will move in. #ClimateChangeIsReal #ClimateDelay

"A climate denial group is trying to turn public opinion against clean energy by disguising their agenda as pro-environment."

A bit boring though➡️ straight out of the delay playbook; climate solutions won't work - policy harms environment 🙄
