Political Ecology, Kenyan Activists and New Climate Memes
A Kenyan activist appearing on Democracy Now! introduced the terms "political ecologist" and "agroecology" into the climate discussion. These terms are identified as emerging memes within the environmental movement that shift the focus toward gender and social grievances.
Climate Denialism, 200 Years of Science and Academic Publishing
Proponents of the COP21 agreement challenged climate skeptics to publish their findings in scientific journals rather than using slogans. The debate centers on whether current climate science represents a consensus built over 200 years of literature.
Erin Burnett Postpartum Psychosis Theory and CNN Gaffes
CNN's Erin Burnett suggests "postpartum psychosis" as a possible explanation for Tashfeen Malik's involvement in the San Bernardino shooting. The hosts mock this theory and pivot to a discussion on the misuse of the word "meme" on Facebook. They also highlight a former FBI agent on CNN who joked that the shootings had nothing to do with climate change, mocking the administration's narrative.
Paris Climate Summit, Anti-Meat Public Relations Stunt
The timing of the WHO meat report is linked to the upcoming Paris Climate Summit (COP21), with the hosts suggesting it is a "shameful public relations stunt" to prepare the public for meat restrictions. They criticize the mainstream media for uncritically repeating the "meat kills" meme without examining the underlying data or activist motivations.
The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research has begun using the term "climate disruption" to replace "global warming" or "climate change." The hosts view this as a strategic rebranding to account for cold winters while maintaining the narrative of environmental crisis.
