The mainstream & certainly most 'leaders' act as if we live in a virtual reality we can program as we like – 'Let's keep up our energy addiction! More growth, consuming, & fossil fuels!'

rather than seeing that our SURVIVAL DEPENDS on nature & we have messed up its heartbeat.

Counterpoint: a steep wealth tax, combined with our ability to reign in the power of 🐂💩-spouting billionaires, will dramatically reduce all GHG emissions and biodiversity loss, 'making every single last aspect of our lives better.'

More than 130,000 people have been displaced and at least 100 have lost their lives as a result of the heavy rains and flooding that have ravaged parts of Kenya. This tragedy highlights how climate change-fueled extreme weather events are causing immense human suffering.

Indigenous peoples rush to stop ‘false #climate solutions’ such as carbon markets. Carbon markets are a smokescreen — “a loophole — [that keeps] #FossilFuel polluters from agreeing to phase out carbon.” Tom Goldtooth Indigenous Environmental Network

Citizens' Climate Lobby Dana R Fisher, PhD (on sky, threads, etc) Yes, most people don't want to #facetheclimateemergency , so dodge talking about it. The elephant in the room is very real.

It’s no coincidence that despite only making up 20% of Earth’s land, Indigenous territory contains 80% of global biodiversity! That's why #landback is a climate justice solution. Here's how Indigenous communities of Costa Rica are rematriating the land 💚 theverge.com/2024/4/22/2413…

Health, not economics, should have been the focal point of climate research, reporting and policy, including in IPCC reports, from the start. Sadly it's still a huge gap, and we will all pay the price.

NEW: The world's most powerful countries are considering a novel climate proposal:

Impose a 2 percent climate tax on the world's richest 3,000 people—and give the money **directly** to people in climate-vulnerable countries heated.world/p/nobel-prize-…

Brooklyn Public Library, tonight

In a sane society this would be the most well known image in the world.

But I don’t think I’ve ever seen it printed or broadcast by the news media or referenced by a politician or mainstream journalist.

'It's time to act & there are no more excuses.'

Who is Target and how do I vote for them?

While American media focuses on the tone of protests in universities- this is the reality of what has been unfolding in Gaza. This is the value attributed to Palestinian lives- where discussing protests against genocide is more important than mass graves of those murdered.

The Boston Globe Dear The Boston Globe,

Have you considered how watching the complete failure of most adults/gov to adequately address the #climatecrisis & other risks to their health/well-being/future, ignoring young people's urgent pleas, is affecting their #mentalhealth ?
