It is absolutely horrifying all of the actual newsworthy events we’re missing out on because the worst of humanity owns all of the “news”
And they continue profiting off of the world getting exponentially worse
🚨Stop Scrolling!
Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of @GretaThunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics.
A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image
@SecGranholm Fossil fuel billionaires are at #CERAWeek trying to stop a fair renewable energy transition. Why is @SecGranholm there with them? It's time to recognize Fossil Fuel interests for the corrupt grifters they are: Withdraw from CERAWeek!
Breaking news!
Code FUBAR!!!
Well, today is the day I have to extend the y-axis to accommodate a new record Global sea surface temperature of 21.21C. How is your day going?
Elsevier supports fossil fuel expansion that drastically exceeds our carbon budget. CRC has initiated a Human Rights Grievance Mechanism to address this activity, because climate is a human rights issue. Read our complaint: https://t.co/k8c2tdPTtU #climaterights
Oh, this is too horrid to bear. Our oceans are boiling, our corals dying, our fish burning alive. We spent precious time talking endlessly about the Congressman who banged his cousin on tape while making farm animal sounds. Now we’ve reached the precipice. How can this go on?
Not to be outdone by the "small regional" North Atlantic anomaly, global sea-surface temperatures have experienced remarkably stable gobsmacking f&%kery for much of the year.
@andresdelcas Andres, as a citizen in the US watching my govt and us baaed corporations undermine this process, what should I be doing to push for slashing plastics production?
BREAKING.
Mass direct actions are shutting down construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline at two locations. People have swarmed both sites, and a total of four people have locked-down to construction equipment. #NoMVP
@hausfath How much might be due to emissions we are failing to track? Do we really have solid data on methane or HFCs and is the news of large amounts of non reported leakage of both actually making it into our models?
@RnaudBertrand This is just a blatant distorted reading on your part, you give the actual text from Milward and it does not say "overseas colonies of China" or even imply that. The "colonies" are clearly of European powers.
@RnaudBertrand Actually no, this isn't a good comparison either. Your comparison is just as distorting as Milward's. You may find his term of this process too loaded, but there is no question of profound tensions btw Han settlers and local non-Han peoples in Manchuria, Xinjiang etc.
@ClimateHuman@ultracricket@ScientistRebel1@ThirdActOrg I feel like there is an Op Ed here. This action blocking infrastructure gets almost no press. The US Open action gets huge media, and it's all complaining "Why are you extremists disrupting tennis?" Because you media folks ignore all other kinds of protest!
Happening now! Two pipeline fighters have locked down to drilling equipment on the banks of the Greenbrier River to stop construction of the MVP. Nearby, 4 elder protestors have locked down in rocking chairs blocking the way. #NoMVP
