Sierra Club report labels Morano an ‘infamous climate change disinformation artist’ – ‘Morano, who’s done more than perhaps any other person to manufacture doubt about global warming’
Climate-Science Deniers, Right-Wing Think Tanks, and Fossil Fuel Shills Are Plotting Against the Clean Energy Transition – Inside the conspiracy to take down wind and solar power – By Rebecca Burns – This article was published in partnership with The American Prospect.
LAST JULY, a small group of rabble-rousers boarded a trio of powerboats, banners and bullhorns in hand. They were headed for the massive floating construction site of an offshore wind farm 35 miles from the eastern tip of Long Island, New York. As the boats motored through the swells, the self-styled activists broke into a chorus of pleas for the wind farm construction to cease—chants likely intended less for the still-faraway workers than for the camera there to capture footage. “Hear this message: We’re here to save the whales!” called out a man in a black polo shirt. “If you were a fossil fuel project, you would have been shut down long ago.”
That apparent conservation activist was, in fact, an infamous climate change disinformation artist: Marc Morano, who’s done more than perhaps any other person to manufacture doubt about global warming. From his perch at Climate Depot, the blog he’s run since 2009, Morano has elevated fake climate experts, encouraged the harassment of real climate scientists, and promoted the myth of “global cooling.”
“Figures like Morano may be gaining ground in a larger mission: twisting public opinion against renewable energy in other would-be host communities.”
Now will you support the Green New Deal!? Actual Reuters headline: In rural India, climate migrants ‘have hysterectomies to survive’
Thomson Reuters Foundation: As climate change impacts hit farming, women driven into gruelling sugarcane work have the procedure to work harder, report says
Frequent droughts push poor rural families to migrate
Many work as labourers on Maharashtra sugar plantations
Hysterectomy rates found far higher among migrant workers
Drought is driving poor Indian women into exploitative sugarcane work in the central state of Maharashtra, with many of the migrant labourers opting to undergo unnecessary hysterectomies to work even harder, research showed on Thursday. Years of failed monsoons, extreme heat and droughts have led residents of Beed, a district in the top sugar-producing state to leave and become day labourers on sugar plantations, said the report by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), a London-based think-tank… Ritu Bharadwaj, a principal researcher with the IIED and lead author of the paper: “Hysterectomies are a symptom of economic distress in the region that is exacerbated by the climate crisis.” … As climate change impacts hit farming, women driven into gruelling sugarcane work have the procedure to work harder, the report says.
