A staggering news story totally ignored by corporate media: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now explicitly calls for action such as moving away from the idea of economic progress based solely on GDP growth as we risk fully completed mass extinction from the 2080s.🧵

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

I think it's remarkable that we are now having extremely disruptive climate-related disasters in the winter as well as the summer.

[Cori Bush @CoriBush]

Environmental justice is housing justice.
Environmental justice is health justice.
Environmental justice is climate justice.
Environmental justice is Indigenous justice.
Environmental justice is racial justice.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Guess what: You and I will never be billionaires, and we'll never live sustainably on Mars. We'd better figure out how to do it better here, and fast. Courage. Don't look away.

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

Not sure who needs to hear this, but billionaires aren't going to solve climate and ecological breakdown.

[Sam Adams @SamuelAAdams]

cool that a woman has to relive her trauma on camera so that we don’t forget the collective horror of something that happened three weeks ago

[Laura Evans @laura_m_evans]

new year, new attempt at blogging (and sharing). there is so much to say -- https://t.co/EOB68pvYgw

[Steven Pasquale @StevePasquale]

51 states just doesn’t sound right. Let’s make it a clean 52 and include Puerto Rico.

And here is another new episode, our first interview during #COVID19. Listen to @BojakForNY talk about tenant rights, evictions during this pandemic, the police brutality protests happening in #Buffalo and #ErieCounty, and more. https://t.co/vokyfyzX7U

[Keeping Things Alive @keepthingsalive]

A new episode is here - learn about how the #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd protests are connected to police brutality in #Buffalo and #ErieCounty, systemic oppression, and the slow violence that is environmental racism. https://t.co/ogNOKWCjNT

[Davey D @mrdaveyd]

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

Best thing I’ve seen all week. Watching this host desperately try to cling to capitalist logic while the guest dismantled him is just... *chef’s kiss*

[Laura Evans @laura_m_evans]

As I acclimate to our new world, I am having a constant urge to make things. It feels good to dig back into the Keeping Things Alive Podcast, a creative project that has meant so much to me over the past 3+ years.

[Keeping Things Alive @keepthingsalive]

Season 5 is gearing up to start this month! Meanwhile, here is a special episode on the impact of coronavirus with @JWashingtonJDU #HomesGuarantee #CancelRent

I don’t need to read any more reports on how far down the fossil-fuel-digging-and-burning-crimes-against-humanity-rabbit-hole we have already gone down, but here is one more hot off the press #alldaysforfuture #actonclimate #justtransition #fridaysforfuture #climatestrike

[Laura Evans @laura_m_evans]

This report has jumped to the top of my reading list (also, that’s a lot of scientists) #actonclimate

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

More than 11,000 scientists from around the world declare a "climate emergency" https://t.co/whAAGUKqwQ

[Laura Evans @laura_m_evans]

Agreed - Superfund is the way to go. #EnvironmentalJustice

Smh: “The [U.S] -- which has contributed more global warming-inducing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than any other country -- cannot be held in violation because it has not ratified the part of the treaty that allows children to seek justice for potential violations.”

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

Today at 11:30 I and 15 other children from around the world filed a legal complaint against 5 nations over the climate crisis through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
These 5 nations are the largest emitters that have ratified the convention.
