Dangerous Distractions: How agribusiness narratives continue to undermine climate action
The document analyzes the strategies used by agribusiness to delay climate action, focusing on the 24th World Meat Congress and COP30. It identifies key industry narratives—such as the claim that meat is sustainable, essential for health, and that the industry is simply meeting inevitable demand—as tools to distract from the need for dietary shifts and methane reductions. The report highlights the role of industry-funded media, like the film 'World Without Cows', and the influence of agribusiness on the FAO and US dietary guidelines to maintain 'meat primacy' and avoid systemic reform.

Rapid Response Report: Speculation and Disinformation During and After the Iberian Power Outage, April & May 2025
The report analyzes the spread of disinformation following a major power outage on the Iberian Peninsula on 28 April 2025. It identifies a pattern where initial speculation about cyberattacks transitioned into coordinated narratives blaming renewable energy and 'net zero' policies, largely driven by English-language actors and UK press. The document also details the emergence of conspiracy theories framing the event as a 'test run' for government control or a 'climate lockdown' linked to Agenda 2030. Analysis across Spanish, Portuguese, and English languages shows that X/Twitter was the primary vector for these narratives, while YouTube and TikTok favored conspiracy content.

The ‘New World Order’
The 'New World Order' conspiracy theory posits that a shadowy elite is working to establish a totalitarian one-world government through manufactured crises and the manipulation of media and democracy. The document details how this narrative overlaps with 18th-century Illuminati theories and has been adopted by right-wing extremist and militia movements. It highlights a strong connection to antisemitism, where the 'New World Order' is often conflated with a 'Jew World Order' (JWO), targeting figures like George Soros and the Rothschild family. Proponents claim the United Nations, the Bilderberg Group, and the COVID-19 pandemic are tools used by this elite to restrict individual freedoms and implement global control.
