Since the "well, can't do anything anyway, let's just mitigate with magical technological advances" narrative is picking up Steam (plus of course denialists that need a new Grift for when Covid doesn't energize the donors) a overview on certain discoursive strategies and a companion collection of carricatures:
Discourses of climate delay | Global Sustainability | Cambridge Core
Discourses of Climate Delay – Leolinne
Also, the book organized by Greta Thunberg ("the climate book") is a terrific, if unnerving, read. Seems not to be released in the US yet (found it with a February release date on amazon.com) for some reason but maybe i just missed sth. It's basically a collection of essays about past, present and future aspects (ranging from impacts on insect ecology to epidemiology).
