"How many times did you fly in 2019? If you took more than six flights, or three roundtrips, you flew more than 98% of the world population. Consequently, you also contributed much more carbon than all other humans on the planet." https://t.co/VAGa9A3O3d

Does this describe you? - "...the now-dominant agenda tell[s] us that technology, enterprise, surveillance, restrictions and the schemes of billionaires, are the way ahead, and so we must force each other to stay hopeful and compliant." https://t.co/VFyKR64PTB

Why can't Ithaca do this? #twithaca

Paris just announced plans to ban private cars in the city centre.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done. Congestion is not inevitable, pollution is not inevitable, climate chaos is not inevitable.

We’ve been conditioned to think democracy is inseparable from our capitalist system.

For three years, the hands of the world's Doomsday clock were set at 100 seconds to midnight. But now, the world has officially crept even closer to what the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists calls a "global catastrophe." https://t.co/XYTmbevfgf

Flying is a bellwether for how society views the climate crisis. If the aviation industry is growing, it means we're still not taking global heating seriously. As soon as society shifts into some kind of emergency mode, policies to rein in flying WILL be put in place.
