Fossil complacency: reorienting climate hypocrisy and system change debates, by Otto Snellman & Sakari Säynäjoki.

doi.org/10.1080/0964...

ABSTRACT
Discourse on hypocrisy is plentiful in the climate politics of the Global North. A specific form of climate hypocrisy critique, the fossil hypocrisy charge, contends that climate activists’ demands for system change and phaseout of fossil fuels are hypocritical because their everyday living is thoroughly based on fossil fuels. The individualistic fossil hypocrisy charge, wielded by climate obstructionists, has been refuted in research. However, a fundamental kernel of truth underlying the charge, and the broader obstructionist ‘narrative of necessity’ of fossil fuels, remains unresolved: Contemporary life is constitutively entangled with fossil fuels. While avoiding individual hypocrisy, we show how researchers and climate advocates might remain subject to an adjacent problem, fossil complacency, if they disregard the kernel in their agendas of system change. By drawing from interdisciplinary energy research, we show how critique of fossil complacency helps in reorienting climate hypocrisy and system change debates to overcome obstructionist ‘climate realism’.

I don’t think it is legal to act on behalf an authority with face covered and with no personal identity provided.

Did Republicans give Biden and the Democrats credit for freeing more than 100 Israeli hostages?

No?

Yeah, thought so.

Israel is playing Trump and MAGA right now. The entire world knows it except Trump and MAGA.

There is nothing happening on Capitol Hill today about the government shutdown. The museums are closed along the National Mall - and there seems to be no resolution in sight.

They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story.

They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent.

ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.
