STUDY: Climate policies can backfire – ‘Mandates can make even green citizens less green’ – ‘Urban car bans, may trigger strong negative reactions’ – Found ‘a 52% greater negative response to climate mandates than to COVID mandates’

https://phys.org/news/2025-12-climate-policies-backfire-eroding-green.html By Santa Fe Institute A popular vision of life after climate action looks like vegetarians riding bikes, city centers without cars, and people foregoing air travel. But a new paper published in Nature Sustainability finds that climate policies targeting lifestyle changes (say, urban car bans) actually may weaken people’s green values, thereby undermining support for other needed environmental […]

New York Times reveals how ‘consensus’ is deceptively created by medical & climate science: Suppressing COVID lab leak theory required ‘circling the wagons & vilifying anyone who dared to dissent’

NYT Columnist Zeynep Tufekci: “So the Wuhan research was totally safe, and the pandemic was definitely caused by natural transmission — it certainly seemed like consensus. We have since learned, however, that to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled at least one reporter, orchestrated campaigns of supposedly independent voices and even compared notes about how to hide their communications in order to keep the public from hearing the whole story.” … 

“For scientists and public health officials, circling the wagons and vilifying anyone who dared to dissent might have seemed like a reasonable defense strategy. That’s also why it might be tempting for those officials or the organizations they represent to avoid looking too closely at mistakes they made, at the ways that, while trying to do such a hard job, they might have withheld relevant information and even misled the public.”

You’ve Been Lied To – COVID Origins, Vaccines, Masks & Climate

When COVID-19 first appeared just steps from a lab known for engineering dangerous viruses, we were told it came from a bat. When vaccines were released, we were told they would prevent transmission. When masks became mandatory, we were told they stopped the spread. And now, we’re told the planet is spiraling into a climate […]

Aussie Scientist Dr. Jennifer Marohasy: ‘Covid lockdowns had a significant impact on CO2 emissions. But not on the annual rate of increase as measured at Mauna Loa, because the increase is from natural sources’

https://www.facebook.com/share/18vgnMrD4m/?mibextid=oFDknk By Jennifer Marohasy Covid lockdowns had a significant impact on carbon dioxide emissions. But not on the annual rate of increase as measured at Mauna Loa, because the increase is from natural sources. Shhh. The amount of carbon in the oceans is significant, and the extent to which the oceans breathe out carbon dioxide […]

Climate Lockdowns Have Arrived: Spain introduces ‘paid climate leave’ so workers ‘can avoid travelling during weather emergencies’ – ‘The worker must refrain from going to work…in accordance with the climate emergency’

UK Guardian: Spain introduces paid climate leave after deadly floods – Government approves up to four days of paid leave so workers can avoid travelling during weather emergencies – Spain’s leftwing government has approved “paid climate leave” of up to four days to allow workers to avoid travelling during weather emergencies, a month after floods killed at least 224 people. … 

The new measure aims to “regulate in accordance with the climate emergency” so that “no worker must run risks”, labour minister Yolanda Díaz told public broadcaster RTVE. If emergency authorities raise the alarm about a risk, “the worker must refrain from going to work”, said Díaz. Employees can resort to a reduced working day beyond the four-day period, a mechanism that already exists for emergencies, the government said. The legislation was inspired by similar laws in Canada, RTVE reported. “In the face of climate denialism from the right, the Spanish government is committed to green policies,” Díaz said, according to a report in El País.

Reality Check: Flooding Facts Drowned by Climate Hysteria: The BBC Ignores Spain’s Weather History

President of UN climate summit: ‘At Cop29, we must treat the climate crisis with the same urgency as Covid – history shows it can be done’

To prevent the gravest human, ecological and economic toll, it is crucial to cut emissions before it’s too late. Without investing in adaptation measures that fortify nations against the impacts of climate-driven events such as hurricanes and droughts, widespread damage becomes inevitable. The greater the damage, the more it will cost countries to rebuild. Prevention is preferable to cure, but our planet is already ailing. Immediate action is crucial to halt further decline.

Not only is such funding necessary, it is possible. This has been done before: when struck with another crisis, Covid-19, advanced economies marshalled $8tn over the course of just 48 months to support their citizens and businesses. The challenge of the day was met. We must treat climate change with the same urgency.
