2/8 First, go read "Merchants Of Doubt" by @NaomiOreskes & @ErikMConway as it covers the topic perfectly, showing how 'doubt tactics' created by Big Tobacco industry were again used by the fossil fuel industry to attack climate science.

Now they're being used for #COVID19 doubt.

Regardless of how we may choose to sweeten the pill, living within a carbon budget is innately and inescapably an issue of rationing. 1 6 14" 3rd Tweet: "Replying to @JamesGDyke @DrSimEvans and 7 others I may be wrong on this (& other things), but I’m unaware of any net-zero scenarios that take seriously the huge asymmetric CO2 (50% by 10% etc). The appeal of net-zero is it sidesteps the profound & immediate equity questions raised by the rationing embedded in carbon budgets. 2 6 10" 4th Tweet: "Replying to @Peters_Glen and @theCCCuk Sadly few mitigation scenarios take your or my view (which I think we may share) of what’s feasible. No wholesale repurposing of society’s labour & resources towards a GND & fair rationing. It’s all EVs, electric planes, CCS & other kit tomorrow. Almost nothing deep & immediate. 1 6 3" 5th Tweet: "Replying to @AlistairHaimes and @grefil75 Within a fossil-fuel dominated society, all plans that are intended to fit energy use within a carbon budget are, by definition, forms of rationing. The choice is to acknowledge this & have an open dialogue about how best to ration - or to hide the reality of the situation. 5 18 35" 6th Tweet: "Replying to @AlistairHaimes and @stefanbuzar If we're serious about it being a "climate emergency" we need to stay within our tight & rapidly dwindling 1.5°C carbon budget, then, whatever the linguistic niceties, we face a 'rationing' issue. The choice then is do we ration on the basis of price or through 'fair' shares? 4 25 36" 7th Tweet: "Replying to @danmiller999 @GreenEngineer42 and 12 others “People” is too

PS “Merchants of Doubt" by by @NaomiOreskes and @ErikMConway explains how the #fossilfuel industry took the #tobacco industry's 'Doubt Playbook' and ran with it on a HUGE scale for the last forty years. It's what we ALL need to know on the #ClimateCrisis:

@ErikMConway "emissions leakage" argument weak. It is expensive for companies to move overseas; won't do it if global GHG regime on the way.

In the @latimes today, @NaomiOreskes and @ErikMConway have an oped that makes some of the same points:

Conservative skepticism toward both science and government intervention has shifted from an ideology to a pathology.
