- The language of climate politics : fossil-fuel propaganda and how to fight it / by Guenther, Genevieve,author.(CARDINAL)895739;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : why words matter in climate politics -- Alarmist -- Cost -- Growth -- "India and China" -- Innovation -- Resilience -- After words : walking the talk."The Language of Climate Politics dismantles fossil-fuel propaganda and offers new strategies for climate communication. It argues that partisans on the right and the left often repeat the same fossil-fuel talking points and that this repetition produces a centrist consensus upholding the status quo. The book uncovers the falsehoods of this centrist consensus using rhetorical and ideological analyses of the terms that dominate current climate-change discourse: we, alarmist, cost, growth, "India and China," innovation, and resilience. It discusses climate change, climate science, and climate denial, as well as the recent history of American climate politics, climate economics, international climate negotiations, climate policy in China, carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon dioxide removal (CDR), climate disinformation campaigns, fossil-fuel subsidies, climate psychology, anti-racism, and climate justice. Finally it provides a new vocabulary for climate activism and offers guidance on initiating conversations about the climate crisis that can move people to take climate action"--- Subjects: Communication in climatology.; Climatic changes; Fossil fuels; Petroleum industry and trade; Environmental sciences;
