Abstract: | Understanding climate obstruction is foundational to advancing effective action on the issue. Starting in the late 1980s, a broad range of actors including corporations and trade associations, acting in coordination with conservative think tanks, foundations, and public relations firms, mounted a long-term effort to oppose action to mitigate carbon emissions responsible for climate change. Many portrayals of this effort focus on the US; 'Climate Obstruction Across Europe' documents the development and nature of these activities across the continent and the UK. |
| "Decades of effort to address anthropogenic climate change have failed to decrease the greenhouse gas emissions that are destabilizing Earth's life-support systems. Many theories of why we have failed have been advanced, but one reason has barely been studied: the well-organized efforts to obstruct climate action. Since the 2010s, an expanding body of investigative reporting and academic research has documented an extensive, well-organized enterprise, led by corporations and their affiliated trade associations, to interfere with progress on reducing carbon emissions. Yet, for the most part, these impediments remain marginal to the public discussion on how best to address climate change"-- |
