Capitalists have lost the plot.
Like why are we even doing this anymore? Why are we getting up and going to work? What is the point of all the rush and stress? To make more money? For whom? Because it's certainly not for us.
Never forget all of the union workers brutally beaten and murdered by police and strikebreakers, because they don’t teach us about that in our schools.
WE KEEP ACTING LIKE WE CAN DESTROY NATURE NOW AND SOMEHOW FIX IT LATER. WE CAN’T. THERE IS NO RESET BUTTON FOR ANCIENT FORESTS, EXTINCT SPECIES, OR ECOSYSTEMS THAT TOOK THOUSANDS OF YEARS TO DEVELOP. ONCE THEY ARE GONE, THEY ARE GONE
"If the top 10% just reduced their emissions to that of the average European, not say the average Ghanian, that would reduce global carbon emissions by 30%. and put us well on target for holding warming to 1.5C"
We need billionaires gone.
This is the government of Canada’s scientific finding.
It is true.
It is also a terrible message. Here’s what’s also true:
Every tenth of a degree of global warming matters.
Every fraction of temperature rise we avoid saves lives, reduces disease, food and water shortages, disasters.
That means:
Every wind turbine and solar panel deployed
Every heat pump installed
Every energy efficiency retrofit
Every electric bus and vehicle
Every job created from all these things…
It all matters! It all counts.
But so do new pipelines, the LNG boom, and the Carney government’s dismantling of Canada’s climate policy.
Folks, it’s not too late. We can change course and choose a healthy, safer future.
We just need the right kind of nation-building projects.
(And that includes engaging First Nations first.)
Stop for one moment and just consider the betrayal of young people.
Just think about it.
Why should they respect society if this is what we’ve left them.
The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.
