Only 3.5% of a population is required to create real and lasting change. "Researchers have looked at movements from all over the world and found that when 3.5% of a population actively engages in fighting for change, they win—every single time." https://t.co/9MULNZOlzG
A reminder that climate change science is basic physics understood for 200 years and agreed upon by every university in the world. Millions of people have been convinced by the polluters - the fossil fuel industry - who spend $1B a year on propaganda: blogs, websites, youtube nonsense, paying conspiracy theorists etc - that their industry is not causing current climate change when there is no doubt it is: https://t.co/LX3VN8OoCi

"[A]ll things are connected . . .
Whatever befalls the earth,
befalls the sons and daughters of the earth.
Man did not weave the web of life;
he is merely a strand in it.
Whatever he does to the web,
he does to himself."

We are experiencing something which could be described as a necrocapitalist algorithmocracy, the first political system to be administered almost entirely by machines.
The corporation is its main interface with the human world: this is the crucial place where profit is prioritised over biological life and human life. The human board members in each corporation are merely decorative pieces; they are executives of its anti-life, anti-planet agenda.

The switch out of an attitude that the human is the center of everything to a biocentric and cosmo-centric orientation, where the universe and the Earth are the fundamental referents, is *the* radical transformation that we are presently involved with. ~Brian Swimme
@99blackbaloons Our 10,000 year experiment in trying to defy Nature has almost resolved - mutually assured destruction... and the other side (Nature) did not have weapons or ill-intent...
The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis.
