Towards Oikos

A revalued perspective on global inequality and global warming.

[Chris Packham @ChrisGPackham]

Today I can share I'm challenging the PM on the legality of abandoning key Net Zero commitments

I believe the timeline for the UK to meet Net Zero cannot be changed at will by the PM – I contend that he does not have the legal right

The ball is in your court , Prime Minister

“We need to stop burning fossil fuels...Now – not sometime when we’ve allowed companies to make all the money they possibly can.”

The greed of a tiny number of people is pushing us towards catastrophe.

They're breaking the climate. We won't let them.

Ripping apart the fabric of the country at the behest of party donors: that's the reality of Tory "patriotism".

Disappointing to see @EPAIreland delete a perfectly reasonable tweet encouraging people to cut down red meat intake to lower their impact on the climate.

The National Energy Guarantee has cross-party support in Parliament. It's also backed by @nef @FuelPovAction and @GNDRising

New Clause 36 to the Energy Bill is one of three #GreenNewDeal amendments being tabled to the Energy Bill @greennewdealgrp

The denial of the ecological and climate crisis is very strange and weird.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Yet paradoxically, it is so easy just to wilfully chose not to see it, and not to think about it all, ever.

"as the world of tomorrow burns, when the image of Bairstow carrying a Just Stop Oil protester away from the cricket competition is reflected upon by the dying, only one hero will emerge from the picture. And it absolutely won’t be Jonny Bairstow."

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK As Kate Raworth has already dismissed Rory’s quoting of Branko Milanovic as missing the point; do you think you should give proper consideration of a progressive wealth tax as a method of getting Doughnut Economics on the agenda politically and funding system change/degrowth?

[Brian McHugh 🌏🏳️‍🌈 @BrianMcHugh2011]

Do you support actions by Just Stop Oil to draw attention to the UK's expansion of fossil fuels?

Please retweet for larger sample

This.

This is the biggest problem in the UK.

A complete lack of understanding that the #ClimateCrisis is here

[Towards Oikos @MarkDick10]

Enormous challenges are awaiting. #TheBigOne
No wall or fences will keep anyone safe in the long run. The sustainability crisis (climate justice), the inequality crisis (degrowth), the democracy crisis (global governance) – they can’t be solved by individual people or nations.

We are in crisis.

We must end the fossil fuel era and begin a transformation to a fair society, centred on justice and repair.

@ianpaisleymp support the call for an end to new fossil fuels and for emergency citizens' assemblies to address the most urgent issues of our time.

This Christmas, I think you need to redouble your efforts and have a word in the ear of Mr M Gove to remind him of the negative externalities of coal as it is exported overseas!
