"Climate information wars and fossil fuel dependency are national security
threats that are undermining Australia’s ability to respond to crises like the
Iran war, a new report says.
This battleground is actively undermining the country’s ability to reach energy
sovereignty and protect Australians from external threats, says retired
Australian Defence Force (ADF) admiral Chris Barrie.
“There has been a failure to understand how energy dependence on fossil fuels
will cause both economic disruption and more perilous physical conditions for
Australians,” Barrie said in a statement accompanying a new report outlining
the scale of the threat.
“Now the two issues are colliding.
“We are facing an unprecedented energy crisis much worse by the world’s failure
to face its fossil fuel addiction. Layered on top is a climate disinformation
war globally and in Australia that is actively undermining the capacity to
build a renewable, clean-energy future and curb coal and gas exports.”
The Climate Disinformation War report says Australia, and the world, have
been engaged in an information war over climate change for at least two
decades, as “anti-climate propaganda and disinformation networks” grew into
multi-billion dollar permanent campaigns.
Today, power comes from dominating the information space and Australians’
perpception of the world is now warped by mis- and disinformation, says
The
Climate Disinformation War report author, intelligence analyst Anastasia
Kapetas."
