What's the plan now that #schoolstrike4climate is beginning to be co-opted by centrist neoliberals & warmongers?
It can't just be about peaceful, global protest.
It must also be about protesting for global peace.
Meaningful #systemchange = end resource wars.
#ClimateCeasefire
Good point, but if we keep the destructive green growth economy, even a global #climateceasefire won't be enough to prevent total catastrophe. Spend, yes. But we need peace *and* postgrowth systems. It's major state intervention - with teamwork *between states* - or we vanish...
In 2017 $410 billion was spent on climate action compared to $1.7 trillion on global military spending #FunFacts #Priorities #ExistentialThreats
Hyperbole?
Or common sense based on scientific reality?
#ClimateCeasefire
@Shirley2gawd @billmckibben @mrjonnotweet Yes, absolutely. A global #ClimateCeasefire to allow meaningful cooperation is one thing to push for. There'll be no solution while Resource Wars are financed and supported by those nation-states with the most power.
'Only 4% of signatories to peace agreements between 1992 and 2011 were women, and only 9% of negotiators. And yet, studies have shown that female participation is the secret to ensuring lasting peace.'

Deal with patriarchy.

Report just published by arch-establishment Chatham House: “The ill-fated decision to invade Iraq has led – directly and indirectly – to more than one million deaths, with another 7.6 million people displaced by the war”. https://t.co/I8ThGyEWNc
New warplanes won't help anyone if the Earth loses it's insects & the ocean it's phytoplankton.
Time for a #ClimateCeasefire and for money to be spent on mitigation & adaption in this unprecedented period of ecological collapse.

UK govt priorities in a nutshell:
- 17 new warplanes announced yesterday: cost £6bn.
- Contribution to UN peacebuilding fund announced yesterday: £32m.
Raging fires in the Arctic Circle, mega-storms in Asia & the US, trillions of tonnes of Antarctic Ice gone, 90% of insects vanished, a lurking methane bomb, farewell Great Barrier Reef, only 4% of mammals are wild, an Arctic Suez Canal, emissions rising faster.
#ClimateCeasefire
As #ClimateBreakdown spirals out of control, humans urgently need unprecedented international cooperation to try to avoid total #EcologicalCollapse.
Demanding an end to all current wars is the only sane position.
#ClimateCeasefire
If 'mainstream' UK culture were an individual, it would be diagnosed with 'delusional disorder', a psychosis. Wouldn't any 'normal' society, on Armistice Day, actually call for an end to current British wars? Isn't anything less dishonouring the dead, condemning the future?
It is unseasonably warm in France as we remember millions of Resource War victims.
To truly honour the dead, we must call for an immediate global #ClimateCeasefire in order to organise meaningful international cooperation on #ClimateBreakdown.
Billions are at risk this time.
Does anyone really think humans can successfully tackle #ClimateBreakdown & limit the #EcologicalCollapse without dismantling the Resource War Economy?
Do we imagine solar powered war in the 2020s?
A global #ClimateCeasefire is a prerequisite for effective mitigation/adaption.
Almost half of all weapons exported by the U.S. perpetuate wars in the Middle East.
Learn more from a scientist who visualized the U.S. arms trade:
At a time when a #ClimateCeasefire is urgently required to tackle the unprecedented, immediate dire threat of #ClimateBreakdown via meaningful international cooperation, @BBC continues the narrative which creates the conditions for a nuclear world war.
Chomsky:
'a military coup, which overthrew the parliamentary regime in 1953, installed the Shah, a brutal dictator. Amnesty International described him as one of the worst, most extreme torturers in the world, year after year.'

Time for a #ClimateCeasefire to ensure meaningful international cooperation to limit ecological catastrophe.
"The top 100 arms companies have sold over 5 trillion dollars’ worth of arms since 2002" https://t.co/pbKfCNZzBg In order to make money, war is ESSENTIAL for arms firms, and in order to maximise profit, ideally, they need to arm ALL SIDES. Think of that on Remembrance Sunday.
@davidcnswanson A #climatecollapse is upon us.
We could call for a #ClimateCeasefire and end resource wars to control the collapse the best we can.
Or we could continue to swallow the old myths peddled by warmongers and the misguided and do nothing.
#ClimatePeace
#StopTheWar #StopTheWarming
Defeating the Nazis involved boosting the war economy & jostling for power.
#Climatebreakdown requires us to dismantle that economy and resolve the conundrum of amoral geopolitical strategising.
Non-violent, global democratic-ecosocialist revolution anyone?
#ClimateCeasefire
That is what the IPCC meant when it called for a global, World War II-style mobilization. We did not defeat the Nazis simply with a change to the marginal tax rate. (10/x) https://t.co/07O5iyr1CF
NATO has no interest in calming geopolitical tensions.
We need a #ClimateCeasefire.
https://t.co/bB5Z0bEUxW
Green investment & carbon capture aren't enough.
Declare An #Ecological-#Climate Emergency.
Mobilise.
Transform the global economy.
Untangle cultures from consumerism.
Call for a #ClimateCeasefire.
"The IPCC, not a hyperbolic body, offered a very clear analogy: a global mobilization like that which transformed the economies and cultures of the Allied nations during World War II. We did not defeat the Nazis with a change to the marginal tax rate." https://t.co/07O5iyr1CF
#ClimateCeasefire or Extinction.
Time to go calmly into #ClimateEmergency mode.
Let's stop pretending there's a #carbonbudget for doing further damage.
We can't slash emissions & consumption by voting for a global economy based on #ResourceWars.
Without a #ClimateCeasefire humans won't limit #TheCollapse.
The IPCC report on 1.5°C warming is clear—we need to curb capitalism to fight climate change. Large majorities in rich nations want an economy that's less dependent on growing consumption & more suited to 21st century realities. Now's the time to build it. https://t.co/hyuWQNGOTN
We often speak of Resource Wars, but perhaps we ought to start talking about #FossilFuelWars to make clear that humans need a #ClimateCeasefire.
