Technocratism dominates the COP30 approach to the climate crisis, with language and framing that can obscure other ways of knowing: "Emotional, experiential, aesthetic, or even just visceral ways of understanding that something’s not right," said @maxboykoff.bsky.social
Built to Fail: Rules at UN Climate Talks Favor the Status Quo, Not Progress - Inside Climate News
Experts say stifling bureaucratic procedures that are disconnected from the climate crisis have consistently stalled COP negotiations.

Said it before, will probably die saying it, we are never going to solve the climate disinfo problem if we don't fix media. As @maxboykoff.bsky.social notes here, the public by and large learns about climate change via the media, so if the media trades in false equivalence, it's damaging!
