Op-Ed: We “pledge” action: The delay and diffuse tactics of climate misinformation

We pledge action. ≠ We act.

Most certainly so, when it comes to the climate crisis.
In my latest commentary with Observer Research Foundation, I argue that the necessary transformation of our societies is underminded by pervasive climate misinformation. Beyond outright climate change denial, diffuse, distract, and delay tactics are far more widespread than one may hope, or expect.

While these patterns may be disheartening, I do believe there is hope as we educate ourselves, our families, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. More here and feedback very welcome: https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-delay-and-diffuse-tactics-of-climate-misinformation/
