The IPCC synthesis work allows us to easily understand the link between human activity and climate change. We know today that there is global warming and that we are responsible for it.<\/a> Yet, change is slow to take hold.<\/p>\n\n

Indeed, discourses of climate inaction are pervasive in current debates on climate action. These discourses accept the existence of climate change, but justify inaction or insufficient efforts. In contemporary discussions about what action to take, by whom, and at what pace, proponents of climate inaction argue for minimal action or action by others. They focus attention on the negative social effects of climate policies and cast doubt on the possibility of mitigation. <\/p>\n\n

Thanks to a team of researchers<\/a>, 12 discourses<\/strong> have been identified:<\/p>\n\n

In July 2020, I published a response to each of these discourse in an article<\/a>. It was time to take it to the next level.<\/p>\n\n

In order that this basis of work can be used by as many people as possible, here is a set of cards, based on these 12 discourses<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Objectives: to discover the subject and lead a debate. Then, thanks to collective intelligence, gather and list the best arguments to answer the discourse of climate inaction.<\/p>\n\n

Details of the 12 discourses cards and their use <\/h2>\n\n

The use of the cards game is free.<\/strong> This means that you can use them as a support, as a rhetorical workshop, during a climate mural, etc. The objective is the same: to keep the debate and interest on these discourse of inaction alive. Then (and if possible), send back the answers and arguments, in order to improve this card game (there will certainly be updates, thanks to the collective intelligence).<\/p>\n\n

Before using the cards, it is highly recommended:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
