"Environmentalism Without Class Struggle is Just Gardening." Chico Mendes

[Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman]

The only outcome that truly matters from any global climate summit will be a full, equitable, planned, rapid end to fossil fuels. Period.

[Leo Hickman @LeoHickman]

So much anger at the new COP28 draft text. None more so than from Marshall Islands:

“[We] did not come here to sign our death warrant. We came here to fight for 1.5C and for the only way to achieve that: a fossil fuel phase-out…We will not go silently to our watery graves."

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

Unbelievable. 2400 oil, gas and coal lobbyists here at #cop28. 400% increase. And we wonder why we can’t get strong agreements that constrain fossil fuels responsible for rise in extreme weather, floods, fires, droughts? Stop negotiating with them and start regulating them.

[#StopRosebank @StopCambo]

🚨 BREAKING: A record number of fossil fuel lobbyists are in attendance at #COP28 - almost four times as many as last year.

Their number exceeds the total attendees from the 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change.

We can't trust the fossil fuel industry to come up with solutions to a crisis of its own making.

Here in #Ontario, we could meet all our electricity needs with #windpower in the Great Lakes alone. Instead @Fordnation is building dirty gas plants.

🚨 BREAKING: Arrested for Marching for 2 MINUTES

🚔 15 people, arrested for marching for 2 minutes, will now face up to 1 year in prison. This is what our democracy has become.

🦺 They can't arrest their way out of societal breakdown. March with us — https://t.co/7BzUVS0A3x

In a world plagued by indifference and apathy, there exists a tale of destruction and despair that can no longer be ignored. The Alberta oil sands pollution, an ecological catastrophe, has cast its dark shadow upon Indigenous communities, including Fort Chipewyan where our new documentary Killer Water is set. As governing authorities and oil companies turn a blind eye, the time has come for us bear witness to the truth…WATCH KILLER WATER THIS FRIDAY ONLINE

BAM! Portugal just ran on 100% renewables for six days in a row. It can be done!

We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

New report from Oxfam out today. The richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than the poorest two thirds of humanity combined. Climate change is class war. https://t.co/eX3xuTncmN

Capitalism is key to fueling this war and stopping capitalism is key to ending it.

The Canadian Energy Regulator approved a proposed reroute requested by TMX. 🤬 This goes directly against the will of the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwépemc Nation.

The Trudeau government buying, funding and supporting this pipeline is unjustifiable and such an outrage. Key facts: ⬇️

Impact of Greek floods only now becoming apparent. Not only quarter of farming is obliterated, it is not coming back. Erosion and silt in fields means 9-10 years before they can be fertile. Huge internal migration taking place, as farmers give up @jake_bittle #ClimateCrisis

[Denise Balkissoon @balkissoon]

THERE WERE 15 RECOMMENDATIONS in the AG's report. NOT 14 as Ford has said over and over and over this morning. The one he's ignoring is reverse all the openings and start again! Please can every story today mention this.

[Kim Kelly @GrimKim]

cashless public transit stations are bullshit

[George Tsakraklides @99blackbaloons]

This is Greece’s agricultural breadbasket, and one of the few flat areas in the country. No living memory exists of anything even remotely similar happening in the past. People being rescued by helicopter from their rooftops #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction

Big 4 bank profits were up 700% in first half of this year compared to 2020, so I’ve just asked the Chancellor to introduce a windfall tax on banks’ excess profits, to fund support for households struggling with energy & housing costs
If you agree he should please RT! 🙏

I am at the Mountain Valley Pipeline. We must stop this pipeline.

The 100 biggest low-wage employers have spent $341 billion on stock buybacks for their corporate shareholders since 2020, while their median annual worker pay was just $31, 672 last year.

We don’t suffer from scarcity. We suffer from greed.
