"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there."

-Malcolm X

Wow this is absurd. The World Economic Forum claims that half of the world's GDP "depends on nature" and would be affected by "nature loss".

Apparently the other half can operate completely in the absence of land, water, soil, trees, atmosphere and life. https://t.co/pnzXAoFe9n

We at @Reporters_Co have started a YouTube channel. Please do subscribe. To begin with, for how we are exposing the government's lies on #Covid_19

Tomorrow at 8.30 AM : "No. No. We must tell the truth," said a government official in a high-level meeting.

How do you turn a normal group of people into modern-day Nazis? It is not that difficult. Watch this 45-minute movie based on a real life event. Revealing - and scary.

This is remarkable: 170 Dutch academics put together a 5-point manifesto for economic change after the C19 crisis, building on #degrowth principles. It has gone viral in Dutch media. In this thread I'll summarize the points in English. https://t.co/jjiJ2nVRW5

https://t.co/CfDS2FH6GH Good time to recall this. Soon, NITI will say, "No food? Why don't you eat your thumb?"

Sea level rise is now:

1. Megacities of 10 million inhabitants will be submerged by 2029

2. 100s of millions will be displaced by 2035

3. A rise of several meters will leave most of the world’s large cities underwater by between 2045 and 2055

This couldn't be true.

Could it?

@PrakashJavdekar @PIB_India @DDNewslive Dear sir, @moefcc is supposed to protect India's natural asset as a trustee in public interest not corporate interest. It is disappointing to see you take pride in clearing projects when your Ministry should be doing the opposite. @PMOIndia #StopEcocide #LearnfromCovid

There are multiple shades to a #lockdown . Here in Karnataka's Chikkaballapur a farmer destroys his own rose farm as demand has dried up. A mellow Ugadi and Ram Navami meant huge losses for such farmers.
