Opinion | Climate Denial Was the Crucible for Trumpism

Opinion | Climate Denial Was the Crucible for Trumpism



"we can now see climate denial as part of a broader moral rot. Donald Trump isn’t an aberration, he’s the culmination of where his party has been going for years. You could say that Trumpism is just the application of the depravity of climate denial to every aspect of politics. And there’s no end to the depravity in sight."

ENERGY POLITICS: SOCIAL RESEARCH FOR THE ENERGY TRANSITION

This is the site for news and resources for the course 'Global Energy and the American Dream,' aka GEAD, taught in the department of Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis.


I'll be posting relevant information and news. I'll also post (and sometimes editorialize) on issues of local, national and global import.

I take notes here. They are just notes, often full of typos. Some parts of the site need to be updated, but I'm short on time. Be patient.

I embrace and defend academic freedom and the pursuit of climate truth. The standard disclaimer applies: I speak for myself. Not the university, not the department, not the students.

#divest #keepitintheground #renewables
