Proud to have contributed to this excellent book! Greta Thunberg

I try to be #louderandbraver in my #climateaction & call on other adults/parents to join me because I listen to:

- young people who are scared
- people already suffering from climate harm
- climate scientists, warning us

THEY are loud & brave. WE must try to be too.

For decades, the #FossilFuel giants that caused the #ClimateCrisis have denied, delayed and distracted from their culpability, and the solutions we need to fix their mess.

Ayisha Siddiqa calls out their role at COP27, and shares why #PeopleNotPolluters need to be at the table.

For 60 years, car advertising has programmed us to think that driving is freedom; that driving — even reckless driving — is a symbol of status & power. But what if a car marketing vet (Tom Flood) used his skills to highlight the insanity of car culture? sf.streetsblog.org/2020/11/05/rep…

The current global capacity for carbon dioxide removal from the air is ~8,000 tonnes/year.

Coincidentally, ~8,000 tonnes/year is also estimated for the personal carbon dioxide emissions of the average billionaire.

The world has enough carbon dioxide removal for ~1 billionaire.

HAPPENING NOW: Clergy and rabbis arrested for blocking entrance to BlackRock, who is investing $259 billion into fossil fuel companies, including oil projects destroying the Amazon.

I have put together a book with over 100 contributors that will share expertise and experiences from people all over the world. These crises are the biggest story in the world, and they must be spoken as far and wide as our voices can carry, and much further still.

#ClimateCrisis dodging:
'Someone else will fix it.'
'If it was truly urgent the media would tell us & governments would do more.'
'As long as I help my kids get a good education they'll be fine.'
'It won't be really bad HERE.'
'$ can solve anything.'
'What I do doesn't matter.'

After a weekend of speaking on ✨women and climate✨, I realise that the intersections of women's rights, safety and leadership in the face of climate breakdown may not be obvious.

🧵Here's a quick thread to introduce you to the topic:

'Every single one of us who is alive
& especially alive as an adult right now
has a responsibility to stand up & show up
& do what needs to be done.

This is not about hope.
This is about courage.'

– Christiana Figueres

#ClimateActionNow #EndFossilFuels

'We are not going to obey a system that is killing us.'

'We should be supporting young people. We have really let them down' eg global water shortage by 2040 before they are 40.

'For children to worry less, we need adults to worry more.' – Luisa Neubauer

And more than worry, we need far more adults/parents using their voices & actions as part of the climate movement. The hour is very late. @Parents4Future

I am not in the climate fight
to prolong bad habits
that got us into this mess:
competition,
greed,
indifference to the natural world
& to those outside our tribes.

I am in this climate fight to help build something better:
eco over ego &
fellowship of life / humanity.
