@tmburnstad @ENGL4401 I didn't finish the TCE book cause it was pissing me off lol. I couldn't get past chapter 2. I'll finish it one day, but in bits and pieces.
I watched the documentary though, that was a bit easier

@tmburnstad @ENGL4401 Aw hugs 🫂 it's a pretty intense movie for sure!
Totally agree though, never watching it again

@ENGL4401 Thanks for an awesome semester Greg! I love your film studies classes, hope I can take one more before I graduate 😁

@tmburnstad @ENGL4401 Same here! I've been rewatching the films (except Room, that one is too stressful to rewatch lol). I forgot how wholesome the ending of Julieta is.

I'll be honest, I am a bit behind on our readings. This book makes me so angry at our world. It's a selfish world run by greedy people & companies, and I feel so helpless in it all even though it impacts my future. /12

@ENGL4401 P. 70 in "This Changes Everything" was the hardest page to read for me. Quote: "Not only do fossil fuel companies receive $775B - $1 trillion in annual global SUBSIDIES, but they pay nothing for the privilege of treating our shared atmosphere as a free waste dump. /1

That's how we will ever have a future.
*deep breaths*
On a side note, this book has greatly helped me understand the psychology behind non-believers of climate change. So, that was a nice bonus. /11

[Kyler Emerson @EnglKyler]

but I won't cause then this thread will never end. But our generation can be the change the climate needs to save our futures & our kids'. We can (& have to) read between the lines. /11

@ENGL4401 In watching "This Changes Everything", one thought stood out to me most: we have to work with nature. As Klein said, for a time period humans believed fossil fuels allowed us to control nature, but that's simply an illusion. /1

[Kyler Emerson @EnglKyler]

Climate change, like just about everything else, has been made into a debate -- like it's optional. It's not.
I could go on about that frustration with the political world, how we have to be so divided rather than just coming together to fix the wrongs in this crap world /10
