Former UK Prime Minister use his megaphone to promote climate delay through whataboutism (redirecting responsibility by blaming others for climate change). If you find this retorical strategy interesting, you might like this @environmentalpol.bsky.social study: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Lomborg has made outstanding claims before, but this is one of (if not the) most rediculous one(s) so far. And this rhetorical strategy, blaming other nations to redirect responsibility (whataboutism), undermine climate action and is often driven by nationalism. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

…and the study to accompany it! ;) Great meme, and fantastic thread! Here is my attempt to study climate whataboutism in four EU countries (which after the election also has implications for the US), recently published in @environmentalpol.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
