There can be no true sustainability without ending U.S. warmongering/imperialism/colonialism. The U.S. "has 750+ overseas US military bases in ~80 countries – more than any empire in world history," yet these emissions are "kept off the books." tinyurl.com/3csrbaec

All the climate scientists on Twitter are freaking out and in near panic. All the media are the opposite. I 100% believe the media are committing a new, as yet undefined, form of negligence so vast that it is a crime against humanity.

Phil 🆓🌍🧩🎲 Alexander Dunlap "The level of material & energy-use [in modern society] is irresponsible & #ecocidal—this is not controversial—& people do not need this to be happy or fulfilled." = A profound truth, yet consumerism seems to be a drug most don't want to quit or even think about quitting.

“I cannot tell you how disheartening it is,” she added, “to know as I’m standing in front of a patient pulling shrapnel from my patient’s body, that my tax dollars have paid for this.” thenation.com/article/activi…

“Working-class climate politics ... would say ‘how do we build a better world for everyone?’ not ‘how do we reproduce this world just minus the emissions?’" Ep 8 is LIVE! Chris Shaw unpacks liberalism & the ways it constrains our political imagination. youtu.be/1xPwgvLX8FE?si…

Such a tragedy We are facing #climate collapse and World spends billions on fake solutions such as carbon capture that have consistently failed to do anything other than make fossil fuel industry even richer and now hundreds more billions to be given theguardian.com/business/artic…

A new climate campaign is testing whether relentless civil disobedience can stop Citi from backing the fossil fuel industry. wagingnonviolence.org/2024/08/summer…

It’s insane that those standing up for people and the planet are being punished while those wreaking havoc and endangering all life are not only given a free ride, they’re being celebrated and supported. Read David Suzuki's latest column: davidsuzuki.org/story/why-are-…

There's no time for appropriate checks in the "great economic acceleration". These are considered mere hinderances to "economic growth", & so the poisoning of our planet remains just an inconvenient fact, ... to be swept under the carpet.

Martin Tye The escalating existential threat of the #climatecrisis/ #overshoot is inconceivable to many who can't imagine a world where planetary limits can/will trump economic aims. Plus, it is hard to get someone to understand something, if their $ depends on them not understanding it.

"Do not forget your non-human brethren, nor the ancient green wood from which you sprang. To do so is to invite disaster." ~Loren Eiseley (The Unexpected Universe) #thicktrunktuesday #forests

The driving ideological force in our age of destruction: human supremacism. Good piece taking down 'cornucopianism', ie the idea that there are no real physical limits to human growth, that we can keep expanding our economies, numbers, impacts, forever. counterpunch.org/2024/07/26/the…

This is an excellent commentary. "While Western governments haven’t set targets to reduce materials use that could curb minerals demand, they support projects in new, high-risk territories that will likely have devastating environmental impact." fpif.org/broken-promise… via Foreign Policy In Focus (fpif.org)

I'm no climate scientist but I'm pretty sure you can't save the planet while destroying the planet.

.Greta Thunberg "started her climate protest alone [in 2018], as a matter of conscience, not caring about popularity or power. Looks like she hasn't changed." – Sonia Sikka

"Imagine if the public actually, genuinely got angry at the right things for once, and managed to turn that anger into sustained, productive action. We might actually have a plan to deal with an overheating planet. Instead, we get told to smile all the time while the world burns"

UPDATE: They came for the scientists first. This is my testimony: Science shows catastrophic harm from the burning of fossil fuels and @citibank is fossil fuel’s biggest financier. Failure to act on science = moral injury. Just got out of jail. Power to the people.

Half of Americans: Climate change isn't impacting me. The same Americans: It's so hot! Food prices are so high! They doubled my insurance bill! My kid is sick again! They cancelled school because of the heat?! Wait... the power is out?!? insideclimatenews.org/news/05092024/…

“For years we’ve fought to end the era of fossil fuels to save millions of lives & our planet. It’s clearer than ever this will be impossible until we, too, end the era of extreme wealth.” – Oxfam International The carbon emissions of the world's richest 1% = those of 2/3 of the global pop.
