Extreme inequality in this country that’s only increasing with time. Billionaires kids wedding photos and these scenes co exist in our mind without any sense of outrage.

BBC on today’s global news podcast said: “police in northern India had to fire teargas to stop thousands of agricultural workers marching to Delhi.”

*had to*

There’s your bias for the necessity of state violence.

It is impossible to negotiate with Empire, the mad and bloated dynamics of a tired, old system. Reform is a pipe-dream sold by those with pipelines. The only thing to do is revolt.

This is big. A new UN resolution calls for the international court of justice (ICJ) to clarify nations’ obligations for climate mitigation and to define consequences for inaction. This could also help establish a legal framework for climate reparations. https://t.co/DvAd6nU2TO

The richest 1% have already blown their fair share of the 1.5°C carbon budget six times over. They are literally devouring our planet.

At some point we'll have to face the fact that politely asking the ruling class to stop climate destruction is not going to work.

England is a weird country. They just won the world cup and their media is not even thanking their PM.

Most people I know in the media view this as hysteria. They simply will not face just how serious it is - which means it’s not reported with the adequate conviction or urgency, as if to do so would be a sign of weakness. The media is failing so spectacularly. #ClimateCrisis

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

If you are sold on the theory that the current levels of consumption and energy usage can persist indefinitely through building wind turbines and nuke plants - and that that will address climate change - you have been completely conned.
