Extinction Rebellion Duke

Studying's fine... as long as we have a future. And since Extinction isn't the nicest perspective, the youth has chosen rebellion. @xrdurham

I just found out about this "Disorientation guide" and really wanted to share it with you. A great calls to action that resonates personally, made for students in those difficult times of ecological breakdown

Canadians, a few weeks ago, responding to #ShutDownCanada: all these Wet'suwet'en solidarity actions are inconvenient and hurting the economy. We can't just cancel everything to fix social problems.

Canadians, now, responding to #COVID19: #CancelEverythingNow #ShutDownCanada

[Edgar McGregor @edgarrmcgregor]

People who have been extremely worried about COVID-19 for the past few weeks now know how millions of teenagers and scientists across the world have been feeling about the climate crisis for years.

A powerful reminder that air pollution kills many millions of people a year. Pandemics are not the way to control it: rapid conversion to renewable energy is.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

Stinging oped from @JeffDSachs calculating just how badly Harvard and other institutions screwed up by not divesting from fossil fuels--and how dumb they'd be not to do it now.

The obvious difference here is that people fear that coronavirus is going to kill *them*, but they believe that climate change is going to kill millions of *other people*.

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

”The difference is about the same as a decade of fossil fuel emissions from the UK, Germany, France and Canada put together.”
Tropical forests are rapidly losing their ability to absorb carbon.

The fact that this isn’t on every front page is terrifying. https://t.co/ElhxAQTI8L

"These companies aren’t planning for a future without oil and gas, at least not anytime soon, but they want the public to think of them as part of a climate solution. In reality, they’re a problem trying to avoid being solved." https://t.co/0Tv0WGZAbo

Either

The fossil fuel industry, Big Ag, and other planet-destroying corporations are wrecking tropical forest & coral ecosystems which are now facing collapse.

Or

Capitalism is wrecking tropical forest & coral ecosystems which are now facing collapse.https://t.co/ma45zxVs4p

Is Your Favorite News Source Shilling for Big Oil? Probably: @washpost, @nytimes, @npr all get paid to further and even to create fossil-fuel industry propaganda. https://t.co/f8qzvvWjSl
