I've been rather quiet on my chart-rigging investigation, but that's because I've moved into exploring the actual nuts and bolts of how it all works.
This recent piece in Wired, though, shows how the problem is slowly being exposed.

@CiaraNi @Amorpheus indeed - the deliberate deceit is what cements the harmful effect; the most insane things are possible, if unlikely & it's taking away our capacity for wonder. Remember this pic? That's real, however fake it looks & it's flippin amazing - we should enjoy those things, not immediately assume they're part of somebody's malice.

🌎 For Earth Day, we're launching our newest climate film: The White House Effect!

Using exclusively archival material, The White House Effect tells the dramatic origin story of the climate crisis & how a political battle in the George H.W. Bush administration changed the course of history.

The film explores how early promises of action were reshaped by political pressure and economic interests, and how those decisions set the stage for the climate challenges we now face.

Our film guides explore key themes of the film through reflection on leadership, responsibility, and more. Resources include a Climate Emotions Wheel and tools for centering hope through action and engagement. For grades 6-12, higher ed/adult and community use.
