'Genuine pragmatism demands that you recognize when your opponents have no interest in compromise and will not halt their offensive no matter how much ground you concede.'

Everyone should read @DanFinn95's blistering piece on the Labour left:

WOW. In new internal docs: Shell admits their net-zero scenario has “nothing to do w/ our business plans" & wishes "bedbugs" upon climate activists; Exxon & Chevron cut commitments to "align advocacy" w/ Paris Agreement; & BP says CCS could “enable full use of fossil fuels". 1/n

WTF is an assemblage? Does anybody know or care? I do! So allow me to share! Check out this thread for the basics on what an assemblage is and why people are blathering on about assemblages. 🧵👇🏼

When writing about flooding in Pakistan can I please still ask that you think carefully about the narrative you are producing on this disaster. Here are my two cents on what we should avoid, and not. Part 2 🧵

I'm in the @guardian this morning urging @SadiqKhan to put a stop to the construction of the Silvertown Tunnel to match his own net-zero commitments in London.

I'm happy to post my Climate Change and Colonialism syllabus for Fall 2022. It's new and improved from last year - a leaner, more intentional reading list and new assignments. Feel free to use as you'd like! #envhum

From Prince Charles to David Attenborough - these 'population control' types never think of themselves as part of the 'population' that needs to be controlled

[thediyora.bluesky.social @thediyora]

in case you're wondering what kind of climate commentary is on the @Telegraph during Europe's worst drought in 500 years

[Tom Rowe (he/him) @rowemyboattt]

Plus that idea that climate change is ‘the one issue that matters above all others’ is entirely antithetical to any notion of climate justice…

[Tom Rowe (he/him) @rowemyboattt]

This thread is really quite a good example of a number of flaws underpinning the logic of a lot of climate activist groups centred in the global North
