Topics
Brooke Gladstone：COP28峰会就逐步淘汰化石燃料达成协议，但这项协议缺乏具体的减排目标和时间表，实际意义有限。她将此比作得了糖尿病却只是减少吃甜甜圈，治标不治本。 Sultan al-Jabbar：逐步淘汰化石燃料的计划应该考虑到可持续的社会经济发展，否则将会导致世界倒退。 Tim McDonald：COP28会议上，所有国家都同意以公正、有序和公平的方式过渡到非化石燃料能源系统，并在2050年前实现净零排放，这是前所未有的。然而，协议目标过于宽泛，缺乏具体的行动计划。 Michael Mann：COP28协议中使用“逐步淘汰”和“逐步远离”等模糊措辞，掩盖了化石燃料行业继续排放的现实。他指出，气候变化否认论正在演变为气候拖延论，污染者通过转移公众注意力、制造社会分裂和散布绝望情绪等策略来拖延气候行动。他认为，采取行动仍为时不晚，重要的是不要被悲观情绪所裹挟。 Adam Laats："妈妈为自由"组织的行为与历史上其他保守派女性组织的活动模式非常相似，他们都打着"维护父母权利"的旗号来影响学校政策。他指出，利用学校政治来煽动恐惧情绪虽然容易取得短期效果，但最终会损害组织的信誉，并可能导致暴力行为。 Jennifer Berkshire："妈妈为自由"组织的目标是削弱公众对公立学校的信任，而不是仅仅赢得选举。她认为，保守派人士试图通过制造社会分裂和散布不信任来瓦解公立教育体系，最终目标是实现学校私有化和教育券制度。
