For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

Even more I would say, at least oil companies contribute to useful products that we use. The Telegraph just produces lies and prejudice

Some of these so called newspapers are effectively well paid PR agencies for oil companies. I’m old enough to remember when the telegraph was a newspaper. A slightly mad right wing newspaper, but one with journalistic integrity.

I wonder if Telegraph "journalists" have to sign an undertaking never to buy or use alternatively fuelled goods or services, ignoring cost as well responsibility? There's an opening for an electricity supplier (falsely) claiming exclusively carbon sourced Watts at a premium price!

They hate the idea of mitigation and de-growth but love adaptation, that's a fossil fuel intensive growth industry.

A clear example of stages 4 and 5 of denial combined.

I’m a psychologist & not a fan of putting people into categories. To me these unregulated newspaper folk and the systems they perpetuate are just bad. Tho maybe the word unregulated is a clue. We don’t so much need to psychologise. Just humanise. Thanks for all you do @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

It's simple. They write this crap for pay. Their paymasters have links to fossil fuel companies. It all stinks.

Nicely put, Annie. If William Barbat were here, I think he'd just be crying. All that he warned about in the CO2 Newsletter is coming to pass. allouryesterdays.info/co2-newslett...

CO2 Newsletter - All Our YesterdaysThe CO2 Newsletter was an eight-page round up of current knowledge about carbon dioxide build-up and policy developments. It was published bi-monthly from September 1979 to July 1982 by William N. Bar...allouryesterdays.info

Wether sociopath or grifter, the line they're pushing just doesn't even make commercial sense for anyone except the sunset industries trying to hang on for another few years. Even if argument is just cheap electricity we should be increasing renewables, nevermind the existential threat of GW.

It seems to imply that the implications of a destabilised climate are restricted to the weather. No need to worry about the implications for agriculture, migration, sea levels, ecology, human health, infrastructure, ect ect, just enjoy the Mediterranean climate.

Almost all the newspapers don't make a profit, which rather suggests they now exist to push forward someone's Agenda, either the Owner's or whoever is covering the losses....

Agree

Isn't that the playbook? It's not real. It's real but it's natural. It's real here's a scam that will fix it It's real but what can little old us do It's real but it's too late. Gosh my bunker is a bit warm...

They’ve just realised that at 451 Fahrenheit they will combust

You know the reason - links with fossil fuel companies. Monstrous.

You just need to see how much money fossil fuels give to these organisations in advertising revenue and events. Just look at GBNews www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Telegraph are reprobates, George—expecting an about-turn from them is like waiting for oil companies to regulate themselves.

The world will reheal itself at the end of burning fossil fuels ….

And when newspapers have a chance to defend themselves from corrupt gov and greedy corporations, so they don’t have to publish craven bootlicking like these articles, they cave. Assanges’ copublishers should come together to apologize & challenge the US Espionage Act.

They are paid by the oil firms.

Next phase: We must divert tax funds to companies like ‘Shell Clean Up’ and ‘BP Make Green’ so they can save us all.

Its like you have a whole in your boat, instead of plugging it you say run morw pumps and learn to swim....

Yes. In their long chain of attitudes which took from ‘it’s all a hoax’, through ‘it’s not man made’ and ‘technology will fix it’ to where we are now, they seem to have skipped entirely over the ‘let’s do our level best to prevent it’ stage.

Let alone the "it turns out I was entirely wrong about all of this and don't seem to have understood it at all. Perhaps I should listen to the people who got it right and I previously told everyone to ignore."

"We could have saved the world but we were too cheap"

I'm a firm believer that if your plan is "let the bodies pile high," then yours should be the first on the pile

Their headlines will be evidence of their crimes against humanity & biodiversity in the future. These disseminators of harmful disinformation will be universally despised.

New School of the Anthropocene

On the utter uselessness, if not depravity, of governmental, institutional and business responses to the scientific evidence of irreversible climate breakdown. And the necessity of the collective citizen refusal to simply wait for change. We need a mass resistance and autonomy uprising now.

A member of my family reads the Telegraph and parrots this kind of nonsense, which conveniently allows him to continue his extravagant lifestyle without guilt.

In a sense, more responsibility. The oil companies sell a product of great practical utility, albeit with terrible side effects. A rag like the Telegraph pushes propaganda, telling us that fossil fuel dependency is unavoidable and good. To my mind that’s worse.

Ответ для Per Ahlberg

It's a rerun of the tobacco industry c. 60's and 70's

Ответ для Per Ahlberg

The Telegraph's only sense of duty is to its own investments, not to any kind of morality of truth in news, so it dances like a marionette when Big Oil pulls its strings. Private Eye don't call it the Torygraph for nothing.

Ответ для Per Ahlberg

Without doubt. Just like a drug dealer has less responsibility than a medical doctor who, against better knowledge, would advise a patient trying to give up drinking or smoking to try heroin.

ya think? rich people ruining the world and rich people telling us no, nothing to see here.

Never ever bought or it...who still does in the 21st century?

It was predicted that climate deniers once would argue that way.

They despise nature, despise people. They really are a scurge.

Is Allister Heath even a real person, as opposed to a fictional byline Tufton Street uses to spew out all its most awful takes?

George, the word "newspaper" has long since ceased to apply to the Daily Telegraph. It is the Daily Sport with bigger words for dim-witted former public schoolboys.

Indeed. I wondered yesterday how many group litigation cases might now be in contemplation across Europe against fossil fuel companies. At some point, the consequences have to come home in a very real way for these money-is-all psychopaths.

They have so much to answer for 🤬🤬🤬

The tobacco industry knew in the 1950's that it's product killed smokers but fought, with their allies in the media, against restrictions on it's sales. Similar vested interests in the oil/gas industry, & that same media, are having a devastating impact on our planet. This time though everyone dies

Half of these right-wing news papers should lose their licence, they don't deserve the title News Paper, nothing more than a propaganda rag for the rich!

I still find it ironic after all this time that the Telegraph was one of the first UK papers to have an environmental correspondent, who was even sent to cover Eco 92 in Rio. How things have changed.
