Anglophone political populism and the cultural rejection of climate change (Nanowerk News) Donald Trumps US election victory follows hard on the back of the UKs Brexit vote in June. The 317 2240490 these different referenda in two of the worlds oldest democracies open a different window into understanding the cultural politics of climate change . At one level, a political analysis would conclude that both results are a setback for national climate policies and international 317 2240512 At one level, a political analysis would conclude that both results are a setback for national climate policies and international climate change agreements. A UK withdrawing from the EU, and its embedded environmental legislation is a UK that would seem more climate 317 2240558 progressives would wish for. And in the US, Trump has made fairly clear his own personal beliefs about human-induced climate change . With a Republican senate and house, it is not impossible to think of the USs withdrawal from the Paris Agreement 317 2240599 Agreement. But Im interested in a deeper cultural reading of what these two popular votes signify in the context of climate change . In their light it is perhaps ironic that it was largely US and UK science which, from the 1970s through 317 2240683 2016, have clear electoral majorities in these two nations voted for political movements and parties which are predominantly sceptical of climate change ? It is more than just a result of nefarious fossil-fuel corporations or well-funded libertarian think-tanks. Climate commentators 317 2240716 corporations or well-funded libertarian think-tanks. Climate commentators and analysts need to look beyond these narrow explanations of resistance. Climate change has become ideological The connecting factor, I suggest, is a popular antipathy towards the shadowy ideology of globalism, the unexamined 317 2240804 against; yet in the minds of many, this is the ideology that lies behind the science, discourse and policies of climate change . The rise of an anti-globalist populism in recent years, and its clear expression this year in these two electoral 317 2240835 years, and its clear expression this year in these two electoral moments, should help us to read the phenomenon of climate change differently. We cannot understand it simply in terms of science and the environment or even in terms of economics and 317 2240859 cannot understand it simply in terms of science and the environment or even in terms of economics and politics. How climate change is believed in or denied, how it is acted upon or resisted, can only be understood at the level of 317 2240924 the different types of climate agreements that have been sought-for over three decades. The idea of human-induced global climate change first emerged in public in a very particular era: in the 1980s and early 1990s when globalism and the new 317 2240994 Agarwal and Sunita Narain observed astutely, in different ways, back in 1991. Since then we have seen the idea of climate change and how it should be dealt with continue to evolve, from the centralised targets and timetables of Kyoto in 1997 317 2241072 political rhetoric and national climate policy continue to get wider and wider in the years ahead.

The report said that record or near-record temperatures occurred in parts of the Middle East and north Africa on 317 2661081 fractions of a degree, and so this is different, said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.

While that has raised questions of how energy distributors might be affected, his power to regulate utilities at the state 317 2754779 Exit polls show that the country is sharply divided on Trump along the same lines as its sharp divisions on climate change . Political ideology was the single strongest determining factor in the election. 90% of Republicans voted for Trump, while 89% of 317 2754868 percentage points; Clinton won minorities by 53 points. Minorities are also far more likely to accept and be concerned about climate change than white Americans. As Samantha Bee explained, white Americans bear responsibility for electing Donald Trump: The urban/rural divide was 317 2754974 30 voted for Clinton by an 18-point margin. Similarly, young Americans are far more likely to be concerned about climate change than older Americans. Finally, there is a gender gap, though its smaller than many expected.

How did America elect Barack Obama and then Donald Trump? Its important to remember that as with Al 317 2755526 the Earths climate? As John Abraham wrote last week, now that the Republican Party controls the US government, they own climate change . For years, America was the country most to blame for obstructing international efforts to curb climate change. Our senate refused 317 2755543 government, they own climate change. For years, America was the country most to blame for obstructing international efforts to curb climate change . Our senate refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. President George W Bush refused to take any action to cut US 317 2755599 of Representatives in 2009. Finally, over the past four years, the US has taken action and shown leadership in tackling climate change . As a result, humans had a slim chance of keeping global warming below the dangerous 2C limit. Trump and congressional 317 2756599 victory does not presage a populist lurch to our political right. It does not even invalidate the established science of climate change . What it may indicate is reaction to a public policy shortfall in providing for the benefits of globalisation, liberalisation and 317 2756836 the opposition benches.

A new international study revealed on Monday good news for the planet amid looming uncertainty on the climate change policies of President-elect Donald Trump. Worldwide carbon emission levels did not increase in 2015 and remained flat for the 317 2836723 Professor David Reay from the University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in the study, said that to fight against climate change , the bonds between carbon emissions growth and economic gains must be broken. "[H]ere we have the first signs that 317 2836817 So far the slowdown has been driven by China," said Glen Peters, co-author of the study. Peters said China's climate change policies would become the dominant force in the future because the country accounts for almost 30 percent of global emissions 317 2836951 elect Donald Trump could put the climate action course set by his predecessor Barack Obama into danger.

He has also pledged to scrap Obama's Clean Power Plan, which was designed to lessen carbon pollution in the 317 2865981 its commitments unscathed. On Friday in Marrakesh the Chinese representatives were very clear that they remained committed to action on climate change and expected America to do so too. China, as well as being the largest foreign owner of US debt, not 317 2866132 Trump, and his children advisors, Ivanka, Donald Jr and Eric, are on record urging President Obama to deliver action on climate change in 2009 as part of a letter from business leaders in the New York Times. As a businessman Trump has 317 2866183 in office, business trumps political partisanship. It would be ironic if having called for Obama to show global leadership on climate change it was Trump who squandered it. Hold Trump to account - but don't paint him into a corner! It's also worth 317 2866215 but don't paint him into a corner! It's also worth remembering that during the first Presidential debate, Trump denied calling climate change a Chinese hoax. That concession was drowned out by his opponents pointing to his self-contradicting tweet saying otherwise. But 317 2866246 his opponents pointing to his self-contradicting tweet saying otherwise. But if he is no longer claiming to be a climate change denier, let's note that and hold him to account not paint him into a corner. Although Obama deserves much credit 317 2866276 account not paint him into a corner. Although Obama deserves much credit for his leadership unlocking the international efforts on climate change in the face of Republican opposition, it's worth noting that Democratic administrations have been far from perfect domestically. The Dakota 317 2866391 No longer can countries, businesses and the public sleepwalk into complacent oblivion, assuming catastrophe will be averted just because a climate change believing Democrat is in the White House. Not only will this light a fire under nation states, those of us 317 2866485 money in fossil fuel companies and instead shift it to renewables. You can join civil society organisations that campaign on climate change and help countries suffering its consequences. And (in the UK) you can engage your MP. Already the language from BEIS 317 2866546 to become one of the most powerful people in the world. But even he cannot alter the laws of nature. Climate change will continue under his watch and he'll be held responsible for his actions to deal with it. The world is 317 2866681 trade agreement, which stopped it.

People told us stopping the TPP was impossible. Even after the election 317 2878467 it is only a first step. The real challenge lies in ensuring that Paris agreement is able to avert catastrophic climate change and enhance climate resilience, especially among the poor and most vulnerable.
