#XRGeeks is an #ExtinctionRebellion group working across geek culture, tech & imagination to fight climate change and the politics & economics that fuel it.
This account is now up & running again! Its principle user has left his job at a major #sustainability organization and is now back to running his own outfit!
So let's do this!
This week @SkyNews shot its #sustainability cred in the foot when it invited climate contrarian @JamesWoudhuysen to debate Extinction Rebellion cofounder @ZoeatShine on its @KayBurley breakfast show.

A new piece from our @gosannounce friends: Getting to #sustainability is a race against time but you also need to have your facts straight. Is slow progress a result of care & consideration? Or should we publish guidance even while we're still learning?

Okay, energy Twitter, what are all the reasons that converting UK oil boilers to burn biofuel might be a bad idea?
Interested in environmental side, supply side, cost etc.
Campaigners from @ExtinctionR making the #Mepc80 shipping and climate talks in London more lively than normal. “Clean shipping now” placards say. Best on table is clean shipping by 2050.
When you rely on politicians, economists and corporate elite to save you
Your relying on ignorant people whose only real understanding of nature is how much they can abuse and destroy to profit their wealth
whilst making vague promises on climate action they never intend to keep

This account’s been paused due to the main account holder’s landing a rocking job at a major sustainability organization. For them to continue here could be a conflict of interest. But we’d love to hand it account over to the right climate geek who can take it to the next level.
