@bethsawin Consciousness is pretty cool, too, especially realizing it's behind and before every "thing" in the universe {;~}》

@AriMelber The Stone tapes aren’t new news. Why The Storm Foretold hasn’t been released in the US is a good investigative question to ask but the Wash Po looked at 20 hours of the footage and published a substantial summary on March 4 2022: https://t.co/L7SAVbSuRt

We were in Paris the summer of 2003 when the heat wave left +10,000 mostly elderly French and +20,000 Italians dead. The urban heat sync created its own feedback that increased the humidity. A taste of our wet bulb 35 future?

[Tariq KRIM @tariqkrim]

Paris, out of 854 European cities, is where the risk of dying from heat is the highest, according to a study published by The Lancet Planetary Health.

Where's the sweet spot for transforming society?Not the macro-- too big. Not the micro-- too small. The glocal meso scale is just right! https://t.co/EAVkTIzAtv

Last spring, we figured we would put a camera on this short canoe portage between two remote lakes where the Nashata and Cranberry Bay Pack territories overlap. We weren’t sure how it would work out but figured it was worth a try.

Had to split video in 2 parts (both in thread!)

@dgelles Seriously- if capitalism is broke, how is The Bridgetown Initiative going to fix the almighty “market” which has historically strip-mined the Global South, people & planet. Asking the market to play nice is a fool’s errand. Less is more. #degrowth

Important critique/deconstruction by @DrX_ADunlap of green economy meme and how buzzwords like energy and carbon have come to obscure the root cause of ecocide/genocide: techno capitalism and its ideology of a cancer cell.

It felt great to get the stage but felt even greater to have succeeded to kick-off this highly timely and important project #TheLongGame at @COP27P together with an amazing team @sphrcl, @JRooneyVarga and @McCaffreyMark.👇

@DrX_ADunlap Your spot on critique of green economy is inherently discouraging... on top of the ever more grim news of ecocide and collapse, but it is vital to be clear about the true horror of the situation so we can respond appropriately.

[Mark McCaffrey @McCaffreyMark]

Terrific deconstruction of green (techno) capitalism by @DrX_ADunlap with the conclusion: “For the planet to ecologically thrive, capitalism must cease to exist as we now know it.” Much overlap with Felli’s excellent “The Great Adaptation”: https://t.co/bVmVKinaqU

📢 New Open Access Article!
@ELSenviron

The article discusses the green economy as a counter-insurrectionary apparatus and discourse.

Perhaps a “glocal” scale between individual/household and corporate/statist scales is where the action is. The late Murray Bookchin, ex-communist turned anarchist, ended up landing on “libertarian municipalism” as a scale where local and global converge. https://t.co/TgbqbuskK6

[Mark McCaffrey @McCaffreyMark]

A question for @DrX_ADunlap —is there a “sweet spot” scale for the “solutions” proposed to counter the capitalist/statist counterinsurgency (changing production practices, school curriculums even if too late, etc.)? Top down coercion is counterproductive, bottom up is fragmented
