Climate scientists are terrified about what 2°C of warming could mean, because they understand the climate. Economists are blasé about 4°C and even 6°C of warming, because they confuse the climate with the weather. #ActOnClimate iai.tv/articles/what-…

The IEA says mining for metals and minerals has to increase 600% to meet demand for new wind, solar and EVs in the next 25 years. They don't say how much water and fossil fuel this requires. And they don't mention that this level of demand is an artificial construct. Degrowth now

"When I first visited Sarawak in the 1970s, the Indigenous communities living there had virtually no money, but they lived well. Now they have money, and can barely feed themselves. They have been impoverished even as incomes rise." aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/…

So now major powers have made it plain it's acceptable to seize assets of the super rich, and pressure corporations to divest billions in days, when are they starting on the #ClimateCrisis?

If you created a system where the richest person on a planet harbouring the only life in the known universe is trying to use all his resources to get himself to a dead planet rather than protect life on his own planet you should probably change your system

1. Emissions need to fall immediately for both 1.5°C & 2°C. Why won't BBC follow up this extraordinary story? Where are the mass media journalists and editors? The silence will get us all killed. The public deserves to know we need system change action.bbc.com/news/science-e…

Congratulations to the 636 fossil fuel lobbyists who were granted access to #COP27, and to all the murderous, fossil-linked sponsors from Coca-Cola to General Motors. You guys won the day. We're still on track for an unlivable world. May your children forgive you.
