“I wonder, what will you tell your children was the reason to fail and leave them facing the climate chaos you knowingly brought upon them?”

As the world's elite gather in Davos to discuss climate breakdown, it's worth remembering who's responsible for this crisis: "The richest 1% may emit 30 times more than the poorest 50%, and 175 times more than the poorest 10%" (Oxfam, 2015).

"Capitalism will always be racist and sexist, because it has to mystify its core contradiction - the promise of prosperity vs the reality of widespread poverty - by denigrating the 'nature' of those it exploits: colonial subjects, women and the dispossessed."

-Silvia Federici

[Greenpeace EU @GreenpeaceEU]

This train left Vienna last night and arrives in Brussels this morning – the first night train in Belgium since 2003

Flights from Vienna to Brussels emits 410 kg of CO2, but the train journey only 40 kg CO2

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

In an era of ecological breakdown, economists and politicians lean heavily on the promise of "green growth" as a last-ditch defense of capitalism. But is green growth possible? Check out our review of the evidence here: https://t.co/g3qV3tndLK

Priložnost je dobila neka nova mlajša generacija pravi nova predsednica DESUS. Lepo, ampak za upokojensko stranko se sliši malo čudno.

“Today’s business as usual is turning into a crime against humanity. We demand that leaders play their part in putting an end to this madness.”

[Climate Reality @ClimateReality]

When deniers try to kick the can down the road on climate, they often cite disingenuous concerns about the economy. But not taking urgent action is the *real* threat to our financial future.

This is what silver spoon kids that are never held accountable for anything sound like.

"The climate emergency should spur us to make changes to achieve a development model that respects the ecological limits of the planet and ensures a dignified life for all."

Here's some of the content in English: https://t.co/k8rPkIVanu Thanks @ManuelGrebe for pointing this out.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

"Certainly, the global ecological crisis and, in particular, the climate crisis, are largely due to the excessive consumption of rich countries and, above all, the most privileged social groups."

This is the most courageous declaration I've seen yet: https://t.co/TXzIFJGzjw

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Wow. Barcelona has declared a climate emergency that gets straight to the point: "The current economic model is based on endless growth, consumption & a permanent race for profit. This economic system threatens the ecological balance of our planet & has multiplied inequalities."
