A lot of folks are sharing this harrowing estimate of the economic impacts of warming (19% reduction in global incomes by 2050, amounting to $38 trillion in annual damages) to say decarbonization would be cheaper. But that isn’t what the paper says (1/2) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cool. So this week the Senate is voting to let the NSA take over the internet and authorize warrantless surveillance of Americans, and the House is voting to take another hundred billion dollars from you (a tenth of a trillion!) to squander on fruitless foreign wars. Very cool.

This season… love’s not the only thing in the air! So tune in to an explosive new campaign where one unsuspecting homeowner with a “natural” gas hookup is forced to live with 21 of the hottest, most toxic housemates imaginable. hotandtoxic.com

Our friends at Hot & Toxic powered by Gas Leaks gathered in D.C. with a message: no $ for the American Gas Association!

Money from our energy bills is funding the AGA's anti-climate lobbying efforts. 😡 It's time for the fossil fuel industry to be stripped of its power!

Check if your utility is a member of the AGA and demand change here: bit.ly/ditchagatoday.

Global emissions are increasing so fast that half of them are within your lifetime if you are aged 30, and even a 5 year old has seen over 10% since their birth.

This isn't the front-page, five-alarm-news-fire it should be because they can't sleepwalk us off this cliff if we start waking up to the truth.

(So please share John Russell's thread widely—as replies in posts of media orgs, politicians, your local farmer's market, everywhere)

If our governments truly represented our interests, they wouldn't have let things get this bad.

But the ones who are really in charge are, as Sarah Kendzior said, the 'transnational crime syndicate' who are trading our lives for profit.

They won't stop unless we stop them.

Well done, 💥youth action for climate justice💥, Chris Packham, & Dr Charlie Gardner for highlighting how those who cause grave harm, like Adani Group, should NOT be allowed to taint our institutions—esp. the Science Museum, of all places!—with their blood money just to boost their own reputations.

“The way we see it is that revolutions are basically coming down the road, whether we like it or not, because the current political system is broken beyond repair'

I certainly wouldn't argue with that 👍💪

We worry about the sudden shock people who aren't worried now are in for.

Understanding that the ultra-rich are actively planning to let us suffer and die sparks a grieving process that takes time to adjust to.

Viendo el calor que se nos viene encima y como ha estado el clima últimamente solo puedo pensar en esta imagen.

The strong resurgence of labor unions both at home and abroad has been inspiring and effective. ✊🏽

So now billionaires are coming to break the NLRB to stop workers from organizing & strip them of their rights.
