I talk about #ClimateChange, #ClimateJustice, #Degrowth, and more while I try not to freak out over the looming doom.

American energy consumption is going up for the first time in 20 years.

AI data centers are a huge part of what’s driving that.

All billionaires under 30 have inherited their wealth, research finds https://t.co/6HhLw0L6Qx

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I don’t believe any change is possible until we overthrow the billionaires.

Even if we elected a whole new government, we can’t secure any kind of democracy until we abolish billionaires.

The wealthy declared class war on us long ago. We need to catch up to reality.

It is telling that people are more horrified that Israel deliberately murdered 6 white people than they are that it has deliberately murdered 40,000 Palestinians, and is deliberately starving two million more. This too is dehumanization.

⚡ BREAKING: A record breaking number of fossil fuel lobbyists are at #COP28.

At least 2400 lobbyists are in Dubai to promote fossil fuels — almost a 400% increase from last year.

🧵thread below, which puts this shocking number into perspective:

You could have asked me on January 1, 2023. You didn’t need to wait for today’s announcement from @gcarbonproject.

Was contacted by a reporter about COP28, the next UN Climate Change Conference being held in the United Arab Emirates.

It took a lot of willpower to not compare it to holding an animal rights conference in a slaughterhouse.

Oceans are Real.

Forests are Real.

Rivers are Real.

Corporations are not real.

So why do human systems regard Corporations as having more rights than Oceans,Forests,Rivers - even People?

The 1% have deluded us with the idea of ‘jobs’ & ‘security’ to keep us enslaved to them.

COP26: 503 Fossil Fuel Lobbyists

COP27: 636 Fossil Fuel Lobbyists

COP28: CEO of National Oil Company is now COP28 President

[Romain Ioualalen @Rlalen]

Feels particularly relevant today as an oil and gas CEO has just been appointed COP28 President

One of the worst anti-trans bills yet.

A bill in North Dakota would mandate employers use pronouns "associated with Deoxyribonucleic acid."

It fines violations at $1,500.

Free speech is not the goal. Trans elimination is.

The word #Collapse appears 4 times in this diagram of the #Davos-released #WEF risks report. I don't remember seeing them use that word before. Elites aren't known for their proximity to reality, but something's penetrating their luxury bubbles. #polycrisis #permacrisis
