The mainstream media barely covered climate scientists getting arrested all over the world in a desperate bid to save the Earth, it is actually even worse than Don't Look Up
I’m so angry that people are dying from the #ClimateEmergency while negotiators argue whether the word “urge” or “request” is stronger; while they say they “deeply regret” they’ve not paid their climate debts. Real leadership is coming from civil society movements #COP26
We're hurtling towards the #COP26 finish line (but it keeps moving further away - possibly late Saturday night) and chaos reigns.
So what's going on? 🧵
📛Very concerning at #COP26: many attempts to push #falsesolutions in decision texts to set in stone distractions away from need for real action / fossil fuels phase out ...

Once again Barbados PM Mia Mottley has been the one who has delivered the speech the world needed. May she be heard, may we rise. Take 8 minutes to listen to the whole thing. Share the lines that grabbed you most. #COP26

I learned in reporting this article that converting oil and natural gas into the feedstocks for #plastics generates enormous CO2 emissions. At 13.6 million tons per year, the proposed Formosa plant in LA would equal emissions of 3 coal-fired power plants.

The climate and ecological emergency is over because @Shell is helping a tree-planting programme. We can all stop rebelling now and Greta can go back to school. Thank you #Shell for saving the world. We salute you. #ShellKnew#KenSaroWiwa

90% of new gas plants will be unprofitable in just "go-ahead" costs in 13-15 years. Excellent piece here: The Stranded Asset Threat to Natural Gas https://t.co/ndmAQ2WpRV via @greentechmedia
In light of Indigenous People’s Day tomorrow, I encourage all non Indigenous people to learn who’s land we’re living on.
This (https://t.co/fDY6mgWcLl) is a really good site to get started.
Do you know the name of the tribe(s) in your area? Their traditions? Their resistance?
We’re shutting down cities - not because it’s fun (though it can be), but because it’s our last option for stopping this toxic system in its tracks. Our world is dying; to save it, we’ll need everyone - wherever and whoever you are - to do your bit.
