16 people jailed for peaceful protests rightfully asking for an end to fossil fuels because everyone’s life depends upon it. Please support their appeal if you’re able which will set the legal boundaries for ALL peaceful protest, a human right & tradition

Everyone’s New Year’s resolution needs to be “I’ll protest about the lack of action to fix our climate emergency,” this year. We’re behaving as if everything’s hunky dory but it really isn’t.
Be afraid, or act now…
The shift of Arctic tundra & other carbon sinks to carbon sources (Arctic tundra is now emitting more carbon than it absorbs, US agency says, 10 December) reminds us that tipping points are largely irreversible on human timelines.
"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot.
No time to waste. #ActOnClimate
BREAKING: devastated climate scientists weep quietly as they reveal new best case abrupt climate change scenario is unsurvivable near-term global warming of 1.9-2°C and rising 🧵
Don't mention the fact that burning oil and gas is making these storms more dangerous and frequent.
Definitely don't mention that people will die as a result.
🚨There is so much #Climate news that it is often hard to zoom-out & see the bigger picture.
But every now & then you read a report that brings it all together & stops you in your tracks!

How are we meant to carry on with normal life with a genocide going on?!
The world has lost all colour
Everything has lost meaning
The never-ending images of dead children, tortured doctor, murdered journalists

This hothouse earth will quickly break tipping points into 4C and 5C. That's civilisation's end game, and we're bang on track for it. How will you live your life in these last moments? In community and resistance or individual nihilism? That's the choice.
This is to howl into the void, but global temperatures are now expected to be consistently above 1.5C of warming within six years, the world is on track for over 3C of warming by 2100, and emissions are still rising. We are heading to a very bleak place. https://t.co/RZ6kd1KKjW
🧵Are you feeling distress, even physical pain, in response to all the injustices, lies, disinformation happening in the world today? You're not alone. This a real phenomenon & it’s actually quite common, particularly for people with high empathy or sensitivity. 1/1
This is the reality of allowing governments to put more carbon into the atmosphere. Your taxes pay for fossil fuel subsidies. It will only get worse until stopped.
