COP27 is the culmination of 50 years of deliberate, engineered failure.
The world's governments look like a death cult, built around the demands of elderly billionaires.

The UK is a democracy in name only, our politics captured by the ultra-rich. And now the oligarchs' oligarch is our unelected Prime Minister.
Everything we value depends on wresting power out of the hands of this plutocracy.
.@Ed_Miliband has it dead right:
“Banning onshore wind, slashing investment in energy efficiency, stalling nuclear & closing gas storage have led to higher bills and reliance on gas imports, leaving us more exposed to the impact of Putin’s use of energy as a geopolitical weapon.”
I am so so sorry to hear that the brilliant Herman Daly - founding father of ecological economics - has died. His paradigm-changing work flipped my little econ head inside out & inspired me to write a book on rewriting economics… Here are just some of his big ideas 1/n.
It's madness that Coca Cola is sponsoring the global climate negotiation COP27, that the fossil fuel industry was the largest delegate last year and might be this year, and that celebrities and participants fly in on private jets - the height of climate injustice. #banprivatejets
"There's no money", the govt says, as it tears into public services and the welfare state.
Then we discover it's *giving away* £10bn-worth of pollution permits to dirty companies.
Austerity is a con.
The government's "climate action" is also a con.

Don't hate on climate activists, hate on fossil fuel executives and the politicians they've bribed to prevent meaningful climate action. The former shock you by interacting with art, the latter irreversibly destroy Earth's habitability for their own profit. This shouldn't be hard

Over 750,000 views! Please *stop* retweeting this video of Rees-Mogg saying a Change of Leader requires a General Election (to protect Boris Johnson) or he'll get really mad!

Cruella Braverman has served her purpose, pushing the most repressive legislation in the modern era through Parliament last night. Now, job done, she has been discarded like any other casual worker in Tory Britain.

I haven’t heard the assessment of Neoliberalism made so clearly and sincerely and how it’s the precursor to fascism. Follow and support @GeorgeMonbiot for the reawakening of fairness and human decency. Thank you, Tuba for sharing.
