Extinction Rebellion Seattle

#ExtinctionRebellion Seattle. Facing an unprecedented global emergency as gov't has failed to protect us. To survive, it’s going to take everything we’ve got.

@elisethoma5 This one makes me laugh.

We have entered an entirely new phase of the climate crisis, and I am very worried it is not being recognized.

This requires all climate activists to profoundly re-assess, and completely renew their strategies, to avoid wasted effort.

This emotional North Carolinian — who is hurt by the far-right lies, hate, and disinformation being spread by her fellow Americans — has a message for the loathsome piece of shit and Republican MAGA fascists about FEMA. Please listen to the end. 😳👇

@maddenifico Thank you for sharing this.

@annajanejoyner I appreciate the work of Nate Hagens. I particularly liked his 100th episode of his podcast where he is interviewed by Kate Raworth. The world is out of control.

@Starbuckbattle9 @hannahkrieg Key word here is ‘decent.’ The profit motive is out of control. It’s harming, not helping society & the earth’s ecology. Unions standing up for workers is a beneficial response to a small part the perplexing problem— how do we live on this earth without destroying it?

NEW STUDY: A M O C are the four most important letters in my life - in your life reading this - in everyone's living on this planet.

Even if we truly understood even a little of what is at stake, we would be spending days unable to speak - traumatised by horror and terror. And then we would know what we are going to be doing for rest of our lives. Doing what it takes to stop this from happening.

“There’s now five papers, basically, that suggested it could well happen in this century, or even before the middle of the century,” Rahmstorf said. “My overall assessment is now that the risk of us passing the tipping point in this century is probably even greater than 50%.” Prof S. Rahmstorf, world expert on AMOC, @PIK_Climate

"Consequences:  Modelling by Prof. Peter Ditlevsen of the University of Copenhagen shows that AMOC slowdown would cool London by an average of 10°C and Bergen, Norway by 15°C. 

A breakdown of this system could plunge the UK and large parts of the Northern Hemisphere into a new ice age ... "

Global food and water security crisis: Ditlevsen and his co-authors conclude that a collapse of the AMOC heat-transporting circulation would be a going-out-of-business scenario for European agriculture: “You cannot adapt to this”.

In addition, writes Prof. Tim Lenton, the director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter, the monsoons that typically deliver rain to West Africa and South Asia would become unreliable, and huge swathes of Europe and Russia would be devastated by drought.

As much as half of the world’s viable area for growing corn and wheat could dry out. He says that “in simple terms [it] would be a combined food and water security crisis on a global scale.”"

@Neo_Jane8 Aren’t there any local hardware stores anymore? Only having a choice between Lowe’s and Home Depot is also a problem.

@realDonaldTrump You are delusional. Please go away.

[Extinction Rebellion Seattle @XRSeattle]

@Gregnus__2024 Lots of Americans don’t get it either. We’re living in CrazyTown. Neoliberalism to the bitter end.

@alecconnon @Citi Your persistence is working. Thank you.

A series of blunt interpretations of 'practical' ... ones we all, to varying degrees, succumb to at different times.

[Stop the Money Pipeline @StopMoneyPipe]

🚨BREAKING: #SummerofHeat has officially arrived. Hundreds are outside @Citi HQ in NYC right now blocking all entrances. Big banks like Citi must stop financing fossil fuels + funding climate chaos!

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The NYT intentionally avoids saying "Palestinian land".

[SeattleCruiseControl @SeaCruiseCntrl]

This.

Meanwhile...
@PortofSeattle, who desires to be the "greenest port in North America", is still spending hundreds of thousands of $$$ on international ads to get folks to take long flights here & go on our cruises 🙄🔥🌎

1/7 Have you heard the good news!? Today, at the @aga_naturalgas conference, Jesus made an unexpected appearance, carrying a pipeline to the stage of the keynote speech. 🙏🛢️ #MorningReflections

New research published in Nature today finds that we are on track for climate damages worth $38 trillion per year by 2050. This is a staggering figure. The damages are projected to be worth 6x more than the mitigation costs of limiting global warming to 2C. https://t.co/8RJ605RaN3

A comprehensive report about this issue is in the Guardian. They are one of the few publications to cover the siege on Gaza from this angle. The full story is here: (10/13) https://t.co/5GBtOivHqP
