"We really need to face this, turn our eco-anxiety into eco-anger and act, it is our moral duty. Everyone of us should be in emergency mode, fighting to prevent the most dramatic consequences and building a society that puts life at the center of all." @_CalaC_
Please stop saying in one breath we must end fossil fuels while pushing for "green" energy instead.
What needs to end is the destructive, polluting, extractive, unsustainable, insane lifestyle that fossil fuels made possible. Renewables will only help keep this lifestyle going.
I find it obscene that we can’t let homeless people live in public land because they will defile it and make it unsightly. BUT we can give it to the fossil fuel folks do the same. 😉
@vermontgmg 1. Watergate burglars didn't have a federal warrant.
2. Watergate burglars weren't recovering material stolen from Nixon.
3. Watergate burglars were committing a crime not investigating one.
4. Watergate burglars didn't leave a receipt for what they took post visit.

The combined profits of the largest energy companies in the first quarter of this year are close to $100 billion.
This grotesque greed of the fossil fuel industry and their financiers is punishing the poorest and most vulnerable people, while destroying our only home.
Today we mark two years since the horrific explosion at the Beirut port. Two years without justice.
In the name of the dead, among them the son of a UN staff member, I reiterate my call for an impartial, thorough and transparent investigation into the explosion.
Heatwaves are hitting the northern hemisphere, but the reality is that no nation is immune to the climate crisis.
Half of humanity is in the danger zone from wildfires, floods, droughts and extreme storms.
We can still avoid the worst - with urgent & ambitious #ClimateAction.

The fascist playbook:
1. Cause chaos.
2. Complain about chaos.
3. Block all attempts to fix chaos.
4. Promise to fix chaos.
5. Seize power amid chaos.
6. Arrest anyone who complains about chaos.
