Yes, South Africa!

Wake up to #neocolonialism #neoliberalism and the depths to which #ClimateJustice is needed. What is really behind the crisis in Haiti? @AJEnglish https://t.co/HzmloIiIL5

Makes me think, perhaps the threat of the planet being destroyed may be the thing that finally brings people, cultures and countries together #saynotoxenophobia #SayNoToRacism #OpenBorders

[Johan Rockström @jrockstrom]

Probably the single largest demonstration in World History. Across the globe, millions join biggest climate protest ever. Cannot be ignored. Can be a tipping point https://t.co/DZ0Sx2eyJq

Seeing the global movement unfolding yesterday, and standing with young children rallying for a just transition to a habitable future is awe-inspiring. From yesterday’s #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #in #Norwich. A shift is in progress .

Opening night of the #TyndallAssembly @TyndallCentre on the climate emergency and net zero CO2 goals. We can do this together, but again we need more ambition, longer term ambition, and increased thinking and synergies across the global north and the global south

[Kevin Bloom @KevBloom]

The world’s leading natural and climate scientists are telling us to look to indigenous wisdom if we want a planet to live on. In South Africa, beyond the “Tokoloshe Took My Virginity” headlines, turns out that’s something we have in abundance...

The new system we are narrating for our future lies in philosophies based in #ubuntu and and #ukama. ‘No person is complete alone, we are you we are because of the people around us, our ancestors and nature with which we co-exist. We are not alone. https://t.co/rEfzlY9YRa

@MarloWordyBird @theheraldsun Like walking straight into a burning house saying that the fire-fighters are delusional. @theheraldsun you are perpetuating stupidity. #GretaThunberg doesn’t pull her facts from nowhere like you do. Over 6000 scientists today, and for over 100 years the data shows the truth.

A must read insight into South Africa’s pro-risk energy allusions

[Kevin Bloom @KevBloom]

The hand of the Russians in the pro-nuclear lobby plays beautifully into the agenda of the pro-coal lobby... some thoughts on the tune by which Gwede dances us off the climate and ecosystem cliff...

Climate denialists are the reason we are so late at waking up #UniteBehindTheScience

[Ryan Fortune @ryanfortune_sa]

In 1991, the Totalitarian Socialists @royaldutchshell made a film about CO2 & #climatechange that @IvoVegter and other rabid #climatecrisis denialists need to watch before touching another keyboard https://t.co/sn7lF5oTUo @LeonieJoubert @KevBloom @dailymaverick @SAEditorsForum

[isabellegiddy @isabellegiddy]

@IvoVegter @VishwasSatgar @LeonieJoubert @KevBloom @spiritstalker There is a trend in rainfall,however interannual variability is greater than the long term ‘global warming’ related change, making it difficult to feel,as it were. But, there is a trend resulting in more rainfall in some places and desertification in others.Refer to IPCC5
