Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

The point of all these COPs is to stimulate action on climate change
Action on climate change means ending the burning of fossil fuels
Why give the biggest seat at the negotiating table to the people trying to stop the negotiations from being successful?

In Belém, police repressed Indigenous delegations who were trying to enter the COP’s blue zone to present their demands. They wanted what is rightfully theirs: real participation, a voice, and a vote in the negotiations that decide the future of their territory.

The government spends £2.7 BILLION a year on TAX BREAKS for oil and gas companies
Those companies pay billions to their shareholders
And then lay off their workers
Think that's unfair?
Tell Rachel Reeves to stop propping up oil and gas companies and back workers instead…
