My article "Climate hypocrisy and environmental Integrity", first drafted in 2019, is out in the Journal of Social Philosophy. It's an inquiry into a phenomenon that frequently occurs in fossil fuel funded disinformation, namely bad faith accusations of climate hypocrisy. A 🧵:

Re-upping this. @MichaelEMann, eminent climate scientist and inspirational figure in the fight against the forces of denial and delay, recommended my article. Personal all-time twitter highlight for me 😊.

Bei der Gaslobby knallen die Sektkorken. Die Gaslobby hat offenbar mit Hilfe von @FDP und @BILD das Heizungsgesetz (#GEG) kastriert. Das deutsche #Klimaschutzgesetz wird damit Makulatur. Die Ampel ist nicht willens, unsere Lebensgrundlagen zu schützen.

Wow. Wenn das so umgesetzt wird, wie es sich in der PK anhört und im Papier der Fraktionschefs liest, ist das #Gebäueeenergiegesetz in erheblichem Ausmaß entkernt worden. Details im Thread: (1/x)

#Heizgesetz Da hat sich die Gaslobby mit ihrer Mär von der Wasserstoffheizung voll durchgesetzt. Viele Leute werden weiter Gasheizungen einbauen und auf Wasserstoff hoffen. Und Deutschland leistet sich so weiter die teuerste Transformation der Welt

An alle mit Verantwortung in Politik und Wirtschaft: wovor wir Klimaforscher seit Jahrzehnten eindringlich warnen tritt ein. Und das ist erst der Anfang. Habt ihr euch je Zeit genommen, die Zusammenfassung für Entscheidungsträger eines IPCC-Berichts zu lesen? Wann wacht ihr auf?

Thanks @SenWhitehouse. For decades, climate scientists have been attacked by polluters & bad actors on the right and subject to their disinformation campaigns. Now, academics like Renee DiNestra (@noUpside) are being attacked simply for exposing such disinformation campaigns:

This behavior will be familiar to scientists like Michael Mann who study the fossil fuel industry’s climate denial operation, and have been harassed by fossil-fuel-funded Republicans weaponizing government against the truth-tellers. washingtonpost.com/technolog…

These academics studied falsehoods spread by Trump. Now the GOP wants answers.

Rep. Jim Jordan is demanding emails and meetings with leading disinformation researchers, part of a flurry of records requests, subpoenas and lawsuits that academics say have become tools of harass...
