This thread responds to Prof. Christian Dunn’s Telegraph piece on #climate communication.
I argue it misdiagnoses public disengagement, underplays escalating scientific risk, & reproduces a media narrative that has actively shaped, not merely reflected, public resistance to climate action 🧵
The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.
In our **new working paper**, we identify the sectors that matter most. A thread 🧵

We are putting out this Call for Papers for BISA2026 in search of people who are researching the connection between gender and resistance in the field of environmental politics. This call comes at a time of (at least) two forms of gendered resistance: 1. Growing resistance to measures that combat climate change and environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is often masculinised 2. Ongoing resistance against environmental destruction, a form of resistance that is both discursively constructed as feminine and that manifests as a form of burden that is often borne by women and other marginalised peoples Against a backdrop of the target of 1.5 degrees warming looking increasingly unlikely, and a ‘green’ transition currently reliant on new geographies of environmental and human harm and exploitation, any meaningful progress towards global environmental targets is stalling. Resistance to these forms of harm and efforts to transition away from fossil fuels are at a critical juncture. At the same time, there is a surging right-wing politics globally, part of which acts as a defence of industry and environmental harm. This form of resistance is directed at transition itself. We invite papers which explore the intersections of gender and resistance in relation to environment or climate politics. Approaches might include ecofeminism, political ecology, and feminist political economy. Some papers which participants might engage with: • Petro-masculinity: Fossil fuels and authoritarian desire (Daggett, 2018) • Feminist approaches to environmental politics (Lawrence et al, 2025) • ‘Gender and climate change’: from impacts to discourses (MacGregor, 2010) • Colonial erasures in gender and climate change solutions (Resurrección, 2024) Please send your 200 word abstracts to t.n.brookes@keele.ac.uk and weatherillck@outlook.com by 24th October along with your name, affiliation, career stage and geographical location.
Another Call for Papers for #BISA2026 (3rd-5th June, Brighton), this time for a panel I'm organising with @tom-cb.bsky.social. Deadline 24th Oct.
Gender and resistance in environmental politics: This panel will explore how gender relates to resistance against env harm AND resistance to transition.

History won’t be kind to us. We’ve forfeited our humanity. Two years on and the tweet below remains valid. ‘Shame’ is a meagre consolation.
Yes it is possible, just follow Zoomer tik tok instructions 😅

In Denmark, if you’re pregnant and the government thinks you will be a bad parent because you were abused as a child, they can give you a test asking “what’s glass made of?” and “what’s the big staircase in Rome called?”If you fail they take your baby after birth. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

These extractivist projects across Australia and Canada backed by “leftist” governments show that we cannot vote our way out of settler colonial politics…maddening
