Aus dem Nähkästchen der #Klimaschutzverzögerer: Eine Kombination aus #Technologieoptimismus und etwas #Doomism, würde ich sagen:
"Ex-Google-CEO Eric Schmidt sieht wenig Chancen, die #Klimaziele rechtzeitig zu erreichen, und plädiert stattdessen für den Ausbau von KI-#Rechenzentren. Seiner Meinung nach könnte #KünstlicheIntelligenz die #Klimakrise langfristig lösen, auch wenn der Energiebedarf dadurch stark steigt.
Welche Metaphern sollten in der Klimakommunikation verwendet werden? Wie interpretieren Menschen Schlüsselbegriffe aus der Klimaforschung? Und wie haben Wissenschaftler*innen während der Coronapandemie auf Twitter/X kommuniziert? In unserem monatlichen Forschungsrückblick besprechen wir aktuelle Studien zum Thema Wissenschaftskommunikation. Diese Themen erwarten Sie in der aktuellen Ausgabe: Sind die IPCC-Berichte verständlich? Drei Forscherinnen haben Menschen in Deutschland gefragt, […]
By Michael Mann and Katharine Hayhoe:
"Today, amid an intensifying crisis and increasing public disengagement, and as we seek to paint the path forward on climate, it is nearly as common for us to be vilified as 'hopium peddlers' by ostensible climate advocates …
Nearly half of Americans feel 'helpless' and do not know what to do about climate change.
Polluters could not be happier — they love the division and the doomism."

Considering that the UK reduced their CO2 emissions by over 5% in 2023, I'm not certain that statements that we're "making no progress in stopping the #ClimateCrisis " are going to help provide people with the confidence that they should make the effort to help get more #ClimateAction
It would seem to be more likely to add to the #Doomism problem that is causing apathetic whining with no actions.
