"#ClimateJustice needs to guarantee climate safety for it to be truly just to future generations" https://t.co/Gn729mcSGn @feasta_tweets

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Reporting is not enough.
Connecting the dots is not enough.
Mentioning the link to the climate crisis is not enough
(even though it would kind of help...).
If we are to have a small chance, this needs to be our main focus.
It needs to dominate the news.
All the time.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Capitalism produces ecological crisis for the same reason it produces inequality: because the fundamental mechanism of capitalist growth is that capital must extract (from nature and labour) more than it gives in return.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I've kept talking about climate breakdown right through the pandemic and the riots and making connections and I'll keep doing so. It's all one great big ball of deadly injustice that needs unravelling.

[Koos Koelewijn @CFrescovino]

5.000 demonstranten op Dam. OK, maar.... intussen weer 200 vluchten op @Schiphol . Elke dag (!) pakweg 40.000 (!) opeengepakte passagiers in afgesloten ruimte, die uitstappen en uitwaaieren. Waar is hier de verontwaardiging? Waar zijn nu de boze politici? @CvNieuwenhuizen?

Those who regard #degrowth as a fringe idea are in for a surprise when the IPCC’s 6th assessment report comes out. It has a full chapter devoted to de-growing energy demand and material throughput as key strategies for averting climate breakdown.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Not a single climate change question. Horrifying.

[Dr Stuart Capstick @StuartBCapstick]

I'm guessing the Venn diagram overlap is almost total, between people who think education is too important for kids to miss a day of school for #ClimateStrike and people who dismiss out of hand the knowledge accrued over decades by thousands of highly educated climate scientists.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

GDP may not be a good indicator of human welfare, but it turns out to be an *excellent* indicator of ecological pressure.

[XR Cambridge @xr_cambridge]

Police arrive to protect the lawful activity of companies that are causing our world to burn and flood, causing huge suffering and putting so much life on the road to extinction. They arrest a person trying to change that. Law is no guide to morality. Laws must change.

[Shell Must Fall! @shellmustfall]

👉#Shell board pushed & paid a Dutch scientist to campaign against climate science between 1979 and 1998.
Dutch journalist find smoking gun in archive.
✊Shell is an obstacle for solving the #ClimateCrisis , we have to dismantle this multinational.

Here’s a screenshot of the most astonishing & distressing page from the private JP Morgan report that I have been able to help leak. “[It] is clear that the earth is on an unsustainable trajectory. Something will have to change at some point if the human race is going to survive”

[Frank Wassenberg @WassenbergFrank]

De 2 miljard euro natuursubsidie die boeren de afgelopen 6 jaar kregen was weggegooid geld. Boeren werden rijker, de natuur werd armer. Geld werd gebruikt voor lapmiddelen en nepmaatregelen. De enige maatregel die ECHT helpt: minder dieren, werd vermeden https://t.co/mvCEhB1R8I

Ik dacht dat Arjen links was en zich voor de bühne als een centrist gedroeg, maar naar zijn mening kunnen een toekomst en kapitalisme dus prima samengaan... #HoeDan #ZML

[De Avondshow met Arjen Lubach @deavondshowvpro]

Waar gaat het #kapitalisme heen? Veel grote bedrijven, zoals #Uber, kunnen blijven bestaan dankzij rijke investeerders, ondanks dat ze vaak verlies draaien. Het plan van deze investeerders: de grootste worden en dan winst maken. https://t.co/350EhS1FMB. #ZondagMetLubach

[Erik-Jan van Oosten @Mbr_EvO]

@AndyZhang1110 @zondagmetlubach Verre van, de linkse positie begint bij het afschaffen van het kapitalisme. Lubach's positie hier is eerder libertair, terug naar het "goede oude" kapitalisme. Een echte centrist.

[Theo Cullen-Mouze @theocmouze]

I wish people understood this. It's not by choice that we strike - it's because we feel there is no other option. The incompetence and inaction of our "leaders" is such that we, children, are forced to try and solve the problems they have created.

We didn't choose this.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

The worst thing about the imminent extinction of the human race via environmental cataclysm is, it may hurt the economy.

[Frank Wassenberg @WassenbergFrank]

De @PartijvdDieren is tegen vrijhandelsverdrag #CETA met Canada. Want CETA is slecht voor dierenwelzijn, slecht voor klimaat, slecht voor milieu & natuur, slecht voor boeren, slecht voor rechtspositie Nederland. Daarom zegt @estherouwehand: “liever boerenbont dan zeehondenbont!”
