Online Climate Change Polarization:

Interactional Framing Analysis of 

Climate Change Blog Comments

First Published July 28, 2020 Research Article  https://doi.org/10.1177/1075547020942228

While increasingly more is known about how to reframe the relevance of climate change, much less is known about how people deal with situations in which they are confronted with frames that are incompatible with their own frames. The current research conducts an interactional framing analysis to investigate how users in climate change blog comments interactively construct the meaning of issues, identities and relationships, and their interactions. Results show that most framing differences start with issue framing but thereafter shift to identity and relationship or process framing. Finally, users mostly deploy polarizing interaction strategies to deal with these framing differences.

                               A NATIONAL DISTEMPER ?

With almost 150,000 COVID-19 deaths, the United States, putative leader of the free world, now is competing with Brazil and Russia for global supremacy in pandemic mismanagement... Yet some conservatives continue to protest even basic public-health measures, including masks. How could some of America’s best and brightest abet their country’s collapse into dysfunction in the face of a once-in-a-century pandemic?...




Why Have So Many American Conservatives Embraced COVID-19 Pseudoscience?


The demand that the medical community recognize the miraculous COVID-19-curing qualities of hydroxychloroquine formed another absurd subplot. In his in-depth report on Didier Raoult, the controversial French professor who championed the drug, journalist Scott Sayare explained that much of the misinformation began spreading in early March, when Gregory Rigano—who falsely presented himself as an advisor to Stanford Medical School—self-published a Google Docs report on the subject that he’d formatted so that it looked like a legitimate scientific paper.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham picked upon his misinformation, and pronounced hydroxychloroquine to be a “game-changer.” Sean Hannity followed suit. Rigano appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show, where he claimed that Raoult’s study had shown a 100 percent cure rate. At a March 19th White House task force briefing, President Trump repeated the claim that the drug was a “game changer.”
In time, the debate over hydroxychloroquine became suffused with misinformation on both sides, as even the debunkers who opposed Trump’s claims ignored the usual scientific safeguards. In May, the Lancet published a report declaring that hydroxychloroquine wasn’t merely ineffective in regard to COVID-19, but dangerous, too. In June, that work was retracted.

This was around the same time that progressive media and public-health groups were insisting that mass attendance at Black Lives Matter events was perfectly safe because the underlying political cause was important—an absurd contradiction ...

UNFORTUNATELY, BLM FOUNDER  PATRISSE CULLORS IS AN OLD HAND AT CONTRADICTIONS :

When it comes to COVID-19, Trump and his followers may have led the assault on the sanctity of science. But many of his opponents have made a bad situation worse, proving that political extremism can be a risk to human health no matter which direction it comes from.

Donald Trump retweet Dr. Stella Immanuel Covid video and Hydroxychloroquine





Wetin we call dis foto, 
President Trump bin don talk about using dis drugs for Covid-19



The Houston doctor who was part of a controversial viral video touting hydroxychloroquine as a "cure" for COVID-19 has said certain gynecological issues are caused by sexual encounters with demons in dreams, along with other dubious medical claims.
The Daily Beast has published an extensive collection of some of the views of Dr. Stella Immanuel, who was part of a video showing a group of doctors making misleading and false claims about the coronavirus pandemic that was removed from Facebook and Twitter--but only after it garnered tens of millions of views and was retweeted by President Donald Trump.
The video recorded in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, according to The Washington Post, claimed that face masks and lockdowns are not needed to stop COVID-19.

  INTERSECTIONAL   GOOP  MAKES  VOGUE  RUNWAY DEBUT

Intersectional environmentalism is an inclusive version of environmentalism that advocates for both the protection of people and the planet. It identifies the ways in which injustices happening to marginalized communities and the earth are interconnected. It brings injustices done to the most vulnerable communities, and the earth... 

Every environmentalist needs to hold themselves accountable and do the inner anti-racism work to achieve both climate and social justice. 

Take the Intersectional Environmentalist Pledge to learn more about what steps you can take, read Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry by Camille T. Dungy, and listen to The Yikes PodcastWe must move forward and push for intersectional environmentalism to save the planet, and Black lives.

Compulsory Masks Will Divide Britain More Bitterly than Brexit
JAMES DELINGPOLE  24 Jul 2020
JAMES DELINGPOLE MODELS UNPLEASANT  FRENCH TIN HAT 
Never mind Brexit...
Masks are dehumanising, they impede communication, they’re unpleasant and restrictive to wear, they aid and abet criminals, and — unless they’re medical-grade, which most aren’t — and there is no proof, as of yet, that they significantly prevent the spread of Chinese coronavirus, or even prevent spread at all. 

To make them compulsory, without offering a scientific justification is the biggest assault... on civil liberty in centuries... the worst conflict ...will [be] between... Covid skeptics... and... cowardly, hysterical, ill-informed, bossy, gullible tinpot fascists

INNER RESILIENCE FOR TENDING A SACRED UNRAVELLING


The emerging realisation that climate change is becoming a destructive tragedy, not just an urgent challenge, is profoundly disorientating for many people. How are we to feel? What are we to do? What might become the purpose of our lives and work in the face of imminent societal breakdown from climate chaos?

...join us for a week of dialogue and reflection with people working on this Deep Adaptation agenda... to help make this a kinder and more sacred unravelling of life-as-we-know-it. 

We will draw upon... emotional, spiritual and somatic ways of being and (un)learning, as well as the intellectual/cognitive. Our aspiration is that we will support peaceful empowered surrender to our predicament...

The food is mostly locally sourced, all home-cooked and vegetarian...  bring a reading, practice or insight to share that is helping you to explore living lovingly and actively in the face of climate-induced collapse...


Optional evening activities.. such as Ecstatic Dance are organised at nearby centres).

                 THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD USED TO END

             The Invisible Dystopia

Friday A/V Club: When the post-apocalyptic world looks a lot like the pre-apocalyptic world

| 
The result, Stephenson argued, is that we've
gotten used to a particular way of thinking about dystopia—and that's not what we've got, right? We've ended up with something that is very non-cinematic. With few exceptions, anywhere in the world affected by Covid-19, you can go out and walk down the street, drive around, look at stuff. And aside from the fact that there aren't as many people out and a lot of people are wearing masks, nothing looks different. There are no collapsed buildings or crashed trains or any of the other visual markers that you would see in a movie to tell you that a disaster has happened here.
Is it possible to make a cinematic take on a non-cinematic disaster? 
I can think of one movie that tried: The New World, Jean-Luc Godard's 20-minute contribution to the otherwise forgettable 1963 anthology film Ro.Go.Pa.G."




EARLIER FUTURISTS THOUGHT DIFFERENTLY:
The Crypt of Civilization chamber is positioned on Appalachian granite bedrock... at Oglethorpe University... and the walls were lined with enamel plates embedded in pitch. The chamber is under a stone roof seven feet thick... sealed with a stainless steel door welded in place.[1]he chamber resembles a cell of an Egyptian pyramid...
An original copy of the script for Gone With the Wind was donated by movie producer David O. Selznick
Unusual artifacts included are seed samples, dental floss, the contents of a woman's purse, some Artie Shaw records, an electric toaster, a pacifier, a specially sealed bottle of Budweiser beer, a typewriter, a radio, a cash register, an adding machine, a set of Lincoln Logs, and plastic toys of Donald Duck, the Lone Ranger, and a Black doll.

Unauthorized Gigamask Chemtrail Experiment Deeply Shocks UNEP

... To get a sense for how well some readily accessible face coverings prevent the spread
of respiratory droplets, Siddhartha Verma, Manhar Dhanak, and John Frankenfield at
Florida Atlantic University imaged droplet clouds passing through... a bandana, a folded
handkerchief, a homemade cotton mask, and a store-bought cone-style mask.
Their experiments showed that even though the masks leaked a bit when subjected
to an artificial cough, all four reduced how far droplets traveled.

          THE TYRANT AT WIKI : THE SEQUEL FROM HELL


       HOW MANY DEGREE-DAYS IS 50 YEARS OF FRAUD?

Global Warming's 50 Years of Fraud


The theory for those pushing the green new deal or some other radical energy policy that will destroy tens of millions of jobs and greatly harm the poor and middle class is that humans, CO2, and fossil fuels cause warming and climate change. This warming causes the ice to melt in Alaska, then the melting ice causes sea levels to rise...

As a nerd who knows that the people pushing the garbage theory of humans causing climate change is based on a series of lies, I look at actual data.

January 2020 was the 15th coldest January on record in Fairbanks Alaska.... Obviously, the ice will be thickening faster than average and is not going to be gone as predicted.

What a 100-degree day in Siberia really means

The record-setting high is much more than a quick spike for the Russian Arctic, where months of extreme heat may have dangerous consequences.

It was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the town, where records have been kept since 1885.

A climate-toasted Arctic


Hot summer days aren’t unheard of in the Arctic. The ocean-tempered coasts tend to stay slightly cooler, but inland, summer temperatures sometimes soar. Fort Yukon, Alaska, recorded the first-ever 100°F (37.7°C) day north of the Arctic Circle in 1915; Verkhoyansk hit 99.1°F (37.3°C) in 1988.
“It has been really bizarre to see,” says Ivana Cvijanovic, a climate scientist at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. “All across Siberia, it has really been so hot for so long. January, then February, then March, then April. The pattern—it really stands out.”
The warm winter and hot spring meant that the snow usually blanketing the ground across much of the region melted about a month earlier than normal. Bright white snow plays a crucial role in keeping parts of the Arctic cool, by reflecting the sun’s incoming heat. Once it had gone away, dirt and plants readily soaked up the heat instead.
