Am struck again at how the 'debates' over bias and balance in climate reporting at the BBC and elsewhere should have been treated much more seriously. The populist and authoritarian right are now using playbooks they spent decades developing to oppose climate action on pretty much everything.

Pro-business mainstream media carries a heavy weight here, too. And I wouldn’t describe that as centrist, but as anti-environmental , or even more accurately, anti-life.
I’ve written an entire book showing how centrist economists & techno-optimists provide a permission structure for climate propaganda, creating an overlapping false consensus that we can keep using fossil-fuels and still deal w climate change anyway.
Here’s a good example of that dynamic 👇
