@hegerle @JHaines330 @scrollymctrolly @ClimateHuman We have to mine in pristine areas to continue. Even the newest SMR tech which has yet to be proven can’t recycle waste 100%. Fusion does not come with the threat, warming, nor waste fission does. 2/2

[Lemon Zesty @ellaa_kay]

@hegerle @JHaines330 @scrollymctrolly @ClimateHuman Fission is old technology based on weapons of mass destruction. Humans are not infallible therefore it has never proven safe. There is also the problem of waste and cooling of the reactors on a regular basis, not to mention it is non-renewable. 1/2

@JHaines330 @hegerle @scrollymctrolly @ClimateHuman Nuclear fusion is the solution we all need. The technology is there, substantial government funding is lacking. We need the kind of funding used to fight C19, treating it like the emergency it is.

The far left (healthcare as a human right and a livable planet) is in no way "equivalent" to the far right (fascism), someone tell the pundits

🧵5. There is no guarantee degrowth would avoid 1.6°C at this point, but studies suggest it's a possibility unlike with growth which is driving ecosystem collapse and likely results in 2.5C-5C.

Deforestation must end by 2025. This economy won't allow that.https://t.co/cZWU6SUG0A

Hot take: We shouldn't have to "win elections" to save the climate. Protecting ecosystems and the planet we actually live on should be the responsibility of all governance.

The extremists, #racists & #haters in the #TruckersConvoy2022 have threatened violence in Ottawa, forcing us to cancel the vigil to mark the #irememberjanuary29 5th anniversary vigil for Quebec City mosque shooting victims . . . 1/2

“It was this settler colonial worldview – of just accumulate, accumulate, accumulate, consume, consume, consume – that has got us where we are now.”

@GhoshAmitav on colonialism and the planetary emergency.

The NYT headline "The Planet is Failing" is a masterclass in passive, apolitical framing. The planet is not spontaneously "failing", as if it's the planet's fault. It is actively being destroyed. And it is being destroyed by our economic system and those who run it.

@ClimateHuman Important thread 👏💚

@rockyenzo @jeanmchard @sjandrews76 could mean extreme disaster if launch fails however

@ClimateHuman & electrifying transit! If we were all to instantaneously all switch to electric vehicles it would have far reaching negative consequences more than finding other modes as you noted.

@ECOWARRIORSS Nature is always the solution 💚

@AmitAryaMD Phew. Glad to no longer be a resident of #ontarible 😮‍💨

[Lemon Zesty @ellaa_kay]

@Tim_Bousquet Radical idea here…live as if you are a human, not a baby calf. 🥛 🐮 Problem solved. 😉

[Lemon Zesty @ellaa_kay]

@ClimateBen THIS. THIS 💯 I have been talking in circles to friends/family alike regarding green alternatives, we. can’t. afford. to. wait. The longer we wait, the more bleak and dismal our future economy will actually be. Fiscal conservatism can’t see the forest beyond the trees on this…

[Lemon Zesty @ellaa_kay]

@ECOWARRIORSS These solutions don’t require million dollar grants from Gates and other venture capitalists. They are here right under our feet, where they’ve always been. Learning to live in harmony with nature again is our last hope #thefutureisindigenous

[Lemon Zesty @ellaa_kay]

@ECOWARRIORSS I’ve been saying this for awhile now, we don’t need big tech to implement green solutions, we need to #rewild our Earth again. Give space for these giants, kelp forests, and ecosystems to thrive again.
