"Revealed: How the Meat Industry Uses Environmental Groups to Make Beef Seem Climate-Friendly"

“They put this huge spotlight, with the help of [non-governmental organizations], on these marginally effective practices,” she said. “This is what I call the ‘positive-side-of-the-ledger’ approach, which Big Ag does a lot: Just focus your big spotlight on the positive stuff and completely ignore the overall system and the overall indicators.”

Not my usual topic, but here’s a pattern I’ve noticed:

How to talk like a climate denialist:

1. Start with a myth, e.g., "humans emit only a small % of CO2" or "scientists don't agree."
2. When debunked, dismiss scientific consensus as bogus.
3. Next, claim the scientific method is flawed.
4. Fall back on "common sense" or "practical wisdom".
5. Finally, invoke conspiracies about free speech, bribed scientists, or hidden agendas.

#climateChangeDenial Approached by a government weather control nutcase (I wanted to ask about chemtrails and flat earth). They had photocopies of an old newspaper article (which tabloid? I wanted to ask) that was too small to read. On the flip side, parts of the story were reproduced larger so one could — my partner stopped them there and sent them packing.

technically, Republicans control the weather...because they deny climate change, profit from Big Oil lobbying, and shut down any green policies that would help

fuckin doofuses

Definitely worth the 10 minutes to watch this.

When are we going to take the #ClimateCrisis seriously? For that matter, when are people going to wake up to the fact that cars are a major part of the problem? #ClimateChangeDenial #FuckCars
