@GMB@susannareid100 Anyone who follows @GeorgeMonbiot’s writings knows he’s eloquent, well-informed and deeply committed. His tears give a sense of his increasing despair. I found many of your reactions superficial and condescending. He’s more concerned about your future than you are. So sad.
@GMB@susannareid100 thank goodness for @GeorgeMonbiot, the only sensible person in this conversation. How can we downplay potential cataclysmic conditions in the name of business-as-usual?
@GeorgeMonbiot is eminently informed and grieving for the potentially uninhabitable planet we’re creating in the name of business-as-usual. If only others felt this grief, especially our so-called leaders, we might have commensurate action to face the #climate#crisis.
'What they're desperately trying to say that time is running out on the greatest crisis we've ever faced.'
Journalist George Monbiot tells @susannareid100 and Ben that Insulate Britain are not hiding from their actions as he emotionally explains the dangers of climate change.
@farhanaclimate@JuliesBicycle@hilmarfarid@esciacchitano@Woleprime Hi Farhana, I asked the question about the role played by @ExtinctionR in using performance to widen the #climate debate. I liked your response and agree 100% that we’ve stored climate grief inside of us without recognizing it. We need many more climate lawyers like you. Kudos.
I don’t like it when adults say that young people give them hope. It’s not up to young people to save us from ourselves. We adults need to act responsibly and deal with the #climate crisis. @reg2030eco@GeorgeMonbiot#GretaThunberg
"The time frame is compressed, we know that we've left the pendulum go too far, and so I would just take the opportunity to ask all of us to make sure that we don't leave it on the shoulders of young people to be the solution." @wise_places Sarah Marder at #regeneration2030eco

@Amy_Siskind@staceyabrams@MsLaToshaBrown This brought tears to my eyes too. It literally seems that he is there serving as an invisible hand or bridge, helping people to cross the chasm. Talk about living on after your physical life has ended. Deep admiration also for @staceyabrams and all who helped make this happen.
@GretaThunberg I couldn’t agree more @GretaThunberg! I’m a #climate voter and would have preferred another candidate but I’m 100% behind #Biden at this point because that’s the only way we can preserve #democracy and have a chance at dealing with the #climatecrisis, the mother of all issues.

Love it or lose it. The situation couldn't be more dramatic or the stakes any higher. Today needs to be the #EarthDay we decided to take care of the earth, to ensure human health and survival. #climatecrisis#actnow#noplanetb https://t.co/8dPW2CyzBA
@luckytran Yes, I live in Milan, Italy, and we've been living in eery silence pierced frequently by the wailing of sirens for several weeks now. My heart reaches out to other cities now grappling with this invisible but potent enemy. Be safe and be well.
How will we emerge from the virus-induced cocoon? We environmentalists will be galvanized and will consider it our solemn duty to build society that can sustain life on this planet.

My friend and hero @GretaThunberg came round to ours today, and we had a wonderful and inspiring three hours talking about every aspect of the climate emergency and how to confront it. I feel even more determined than I was before.
Don’t be distracted by attempts to manufacture outrage: bring the conversation back to the topics you want to discuss. We should emulate the calm strength with which @GretaThunberg responds to the tidal wave of nastiness she faces. @GeorgeMonbiot#climatecrisis#gretathunberg
By understanding the psychological buttons they're pressing, we can stop people like Trump, Johnson, Modi and Bolsonaro from driving democracy into a death spiral. My column explores some fascinating research.

Io sono in piazza a Milano da 44 venerdì di seguito anche per chi nega la crisi climatica. Il fatto che qualcuno nega la realtà non cambia la realtà. Qui stiamo chiedendo un pianeta abitabile nel futuro. Se qualcuno ha un problema con quella causa, non ho tempo per convincerli.
Miriam Martinelli, attivista per il clima dei #FridaysForFuture, ci ha aperto le porte (e il cuore) per raccontarci cosa l'ha spinta, insieme a milioni di altri ragazzi a rimboccarsi le maniche per costruire un futuro migliore. https://t.co/sTPKHY0M5f
