@NOS De vraag die iedereen zichzelf kan stellen: zou jij je zusje laten zitten?

[magali de reu @Magali_DeReu]

Iemand verkrachten? Da’s niet flink hè.

Een medestudent vermoorden? Volgende keer niet meer doen, hé! En een paar honderden euro’s boete.

@vegardbeyer Which interview is this from? :)

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

I just get tired...Tired of hearing that 1.5°C is a "target" or "goal". IT IS NOT. It is a limit. The only real goal is 0°C. And not bad 1.5°C, when we LIKELY tip GIS, WAIS, Tropical Coral Reefs and Abrupt Boreal Permafrost, and get more floods, droughts, heat, disease, storms.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bizarre that people continue to posit this false dichotomy. We can and must do both. Yes, embrace technological improvement. Also ban private jets, transition to rail networks where possible, and reduce less-necessary flights.

[Ayisha Siddiqa @Ayishas12]

Sometimes "climate-anxiety" feels too palatable of a phrase. Knowing that we are 5 years away from hitting 1.5 degrees of warming & irrevocable consequences is causing a sense of doom, watching people ignore the destruction of life as we know it- is beyond frustrating

[Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives @darren_cullen]

Yesterday I visited two Shell oil spill sites in the Niger Delta with Ogoni climate activists of @FoundationLekeh and local community leaders. It was the saddest and most enraging thing I have ever seen.

Weten jullie nog, alle haat & bs van jaren geleden? En eigenlijk nog steeds? Kijk dit. En dan goed in de spiegel.

Van iedereen die me kapot maakte hebben ✨️twee✨️ mensen sorry gezegd. Appreciated. Maar hoor vooral krekels verder.

Aan allen die vanaf dag 1 mee strijden: 👊🏽💛

[Chloé Mikolajczak @ChloeMkljczk]

I have tears in my eyes realising what's been achieved today 🔥

At the same time, it's a bittersweet win: we're fighting like crazy to save bare minimum.

But right now, time to celebrate. Thanks to the amazing people who worked on this & in particular these fellow activists 💚

‼️ This is what democracy looks like ‼️

- One simple demand: Stop Fossil Subsidies
- 6000 people, 130 groups, 80 musicians, 100 scientists
- 1,500+ people arrested, water cannons turned on peaceful protesters
- #A12 Blockade @NLRebellion Den Haag

[Luisa Neubauer @Luisamneubauer]

Ok, so Germany is likely to miss its climate targets for 2030 and currently doesn't have a plan of how to speed up climate action. The response of the German government? Criminalizing peaceful activists. It's a global trend, and it should worry all of us. https://t.co/ZU4krUNsOc

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

As floods & fires rise, oceans boil & ice melts, and "safe" temperatures are breached, something momentous just happened in the heart of the EU. No one has heard about it: journalists were present, but their editors refused to publish 🤯.

#beyondgrowth conference at the European Parlament: In focus panel 1 on new narratives, #degrowth largely outruns green growth. Interesting debate.

[Prof Julia Steinberger @JKSteinberger]

"If we are to move beyond growth, we have to face what lies beneath our growth: white supremacy and colonialism. There can be no degrowth without decolonization." @AnunaDe echoing @Prof_FSultana at #BeyondGrowth2023 final plenary.
Change requires courage.
