“If you are struggling with the depression of seeing the world falling apart, there’s almost no better antidote than getting involved and take part in changing it.” What gives you hope for the future? Transition Cambridge Rob Hopkins Transition Network

“Hyper-narcissism was encouraged by an economic necrosystem which recognized very early on that, selfish and narcissistic #consumatrons will buy more stuff while at the same time become politically inert. This was a double win for global capital” #economics

The perfect example of elites reframing the climate situation to protect their power and status while #moodsplaining the young... Ignoring the science on impacts and on tipping points.

Starmer and Reeves go on and on about the disastrous state in which the Conservatives left the public finances. But they never talk about something much more fundamental: the disastrous state in which they left the nation’s nature, and its climate-readiness. But here’s the thing:

Angela Rayner just approved the expansion of the London City airport. We called it out on ITV news last night. London is the MOST exposed city in the world to aviation pollution and this wealthy airport for luxury travel needs to be reduced not expanded!

I was just involved in a brief discussion about the lack of novels, dealing with the climate crisis. I think this is part of a much bigger problem, in that there is a serious lack of vision about what the climate crisis, means for our future. 1/🧵

UPDATE: we shut down the gala honoring Senator Ted Cruz. Sold out and shameless, he chanted "more fossil fuels." Ted Cruz is a monster and a murderer. He is an enemy to humanity. He has two children. He incinerates them for profit. Not very mindful. Not very demure. 💜

Confused about the endless ceasefire negotiations that never seem to go anywhere? That's by design: The endless talk is the smokescreen that covers the the land grabs. The ethnic cleaning. The genocide. With Mehdi Hasan, we get Unshocked about Israel and Washington's "talk and

When you grasp the scale of what we’re facing - billions killed & our civilization likely over within decades - it’s impossible not to see most of our politics & media for what it truly is, a hate-stoking distraction enabling shareholders to profit from the death of everything.

You don't hear much in the media about the fact that King Charles called for revolution in his book.

ATTENTION HUMANITY: You're burning down the wrong Amazon.

It’s impossible to see how any civilization that rationalizes & justifies this cannot be doomed.

🌊🧊📉 One of the clearest indicators of weakening of the AMOC is the relative change in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice:

We’re experiencing the warmest year in 100,000 years. Any plans humanity might have for the future that aren’t built around adapting & preparing for generations of instability are a dangerous fantasy paving the way for our extinction.

THIS graph gives a much better sense of the worsening climate situation than temperature graphs, let alone CO2 concentrations or emissions graphs. Our situation is about four times as bad now as it was 20 years ago. And the worst acceleration came in the last two years. Pse share

This is so true. At the same time, the emphasis here is increasingly unhelpful. Adaptation - proper, transformative/strategic adaptation - is now imperative, massive climate impacts being unavoidable. And the good news?: taking adaptation seriously will boost GHG-reduction like

Hey Global North, How about instead of preparing our kids for a future within a system that is destined to collapse, we face up to reality, apologise to our kids & work like hell to adapt & build a future they - & all the world’s children - at least stand a chance of surviving?

Our lives have meaning when they’re providing a future for those we love. So we’ve been hoodwinked into trading meaningfulness for consumer goods, as we toil within a system that is devouring all our futures to increase shareholder profit in the present.

The self reinforcing momentum has already kicked in. How the house of cards collapses nobody knows. But collapse it will.

100 years of consumerism has led to the hottest year in 100,000 years & created a population swaddled in inanity, willingly fueling a system that will deliver decades of horror & leave us with not much of anything at all in another 100 years.
