Every day, people tell me "you should do this, you should do that." I’ve worked as an environmental journalist and campaigner for 35 years, and believe me, we have tried every imaginable means of provoking action. But we have been outspent by destructive industries.

This ⁦Barton Gellman⁩ piece is the stuff of nightmares theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

“Our leaders need to #FaceTheClimateEmergency instead of creating loopholes while building their so-called ’pledges’ on the cheating tactics that got us into this mess.”  We're losing the small window of opportunity to stay in line with the Paris Accord. link.medium.com/NFBp5bMvjab

🚨TODAY we're excited to announce the launch of the Climate Social Science Network CSSN (Moved to Bluesky @cssn.org): a first-of-its-kind, international network of scholars dedicated to studying global warming politics & the dynamics of climate denial+delay. Watch this space! cssn.org

Splendid and neglected news !

"That we live in a post-truth society today, and that we don't care, that we have lost empathy. We have stopped thinking long-term and sustainable. And that's something that goes much deeper than just climate crisis deniers." Long interview in National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/environment/20…

Super Typhoon Goni is about to slam into the Phillippines as about as strong of a storm as the planet can produce If it landfalls at its current strength (195 mph with gusts to 235 mph!!) it will be the most powerful tropical cyclone on record to make landfall in world history

Americans are understandably preoccupied right now. But a typhoon with winds gusting to 235 mph is now crashing into the Philippines--possibly the strongest storm ever to make landfall on earth. If you pray, now would be a good time

I don’t know about you, but I sure am willing to call-out-the-fossil-fuel-companies-for-knowingly-destroying-future-living-conditions -for-countless-generations-for profit-and-then-trying-to-distract-people-and-prevent-real-systemic-change-through-endless greenwash-campaigns.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

The US desperately needs to stifle #covid19 and get moving again. So what are Trump's minions up to? A clog-the-roads #MAGADragTheInterstate campaign. And on 11/14, I'd recommend clearing out of DC if you're at respiratory risk. #MillionMAGAMarch is coming x.com/i/status/13255…

Here's my latest post on party name shenanigans ahead of next March's WA state election. This time it is the Daylight Savings Party applying to appear on the ballot paper as "National Liberals". antonygreen.com.au/more-party-nam… #wapol #auspol

It appears that Cam Tinley and the No Mandatory Vaccination Party have fallen foul of Facebook's new anti-anti-vaxx policies. He can't log in to remove the old posts. My post on WA party name shenanigans is at antonygreen.com.au/updating-the-p… #wapol

It's a huge problem that nations are failing to meet their climate- and ecological targets. The main problem however, is the fact that their targets are completely insufficient in the first place. We can't solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis. #FaceTheClimateEmergency

Imagine putting up a monument to the traitors who stormed the capitol on 1/6 and then maintaining it with taxpayer money for a century...Happy to be involved with this event on Monday
