"As much as inaction on climate gets framed as lack of science or perhaps the wrong messaging framework, it's important to remember that we're here because of acts of sabotage."
Now enjoying last fall's podcast series by @amywestervelt.bsky.social about the @cssn.org book on climate obstruction.

Tomorrow! Join us for a presentation and a discussion to follow.
Nationalism as a tool of climate obstruction: This review identifies four forms—resource nationalism, energy nationalism, techno-nationalism, and fossil fascism—and shows how they can delay, divert, or undermine effective climate action.

Looking back at a foundational article from our working group focused on Nationalism and Climate Obstruction: academic.oup.com/oocc/article...
This piece explores “green nationalism,” and asks what its role can be in shaping policies, despite pushback: is it a path forward, or a hinderance?
"We argue that inertia is not merely passive but actively maintained by those with institutional power."

How do we make our academic work make a difference? What does knowledge production look like when it is being threatened from outside forces?

University policies are failing to protect against fossil fuel influence on academic research, harkening back to the days of Big Tobacco’s disinformation on campus.
CSSN scholars and colleagues, C. Ceccon, @truzaar.bsky.social, and @jenniecstephens.bsky.social's study is in Climatic Change today!
One week away! Mark your calendars for a talk and discussion on climate ethics, and what climate scholarship means in this current moment. bit.ly/4tcdBFe

What would you do with over $1 billion dollars? That’s how much Big Carbon spent on universities since 2010 to shape climate research and “reinforce denialist narratives.” Yet out of 39 University funding policies, only 3 mention fossil fuel companies directly, a new study shows.
