The #ClimateCrisis will impact 100 per cent of the people on this 🌍. Solutions cannot continue to be dictated by far less than 50 per cent of the population.

We need more women & girls involved at every level of society, and particularly in leadership roles.

It's time to turn rage into climate action.

Carbon capture is a climate con. Here's Italian utility Enel's CEO on CCS:

“The electricity industry have tried and tried. The fact is, it [CCS] doesn’t work”

There are other climate solutions, he said: “Basically, stop emitting carbon”

Hear, hear!

Saw this and it made me stop and think. Why have I not thought about it like this - so simple. Water is water

What a day! 13 UK #Amazon depots blocked. At least 100 arrests. National & local media having the conversation about damage of endless 'stuff', creating waste, pollution, emitting carbon - all this mess whilst Jeff gets rich and fly to space for fun. #AmazonCrime #MakeAmazonPay
