Record heatwaves worldwide. Hospitalizations, injuries, and deaths. Crops destroyed. Fires raging. Some say bold climate action is "expensive." Compared to what?

Good thing this tweet is so outdated.
I've been writing about climate change/ sustainability for 21 years. For 21 yrs, Democrats have said "in the future something will be done."

Did you know that even if all government climate pledges based on the extinction economics of endless growth are implemented fully and on time, 21st century global warming driven by capitalism & imperialism may still be horrific enough to obliterate organised human societies? 🧵

A growing number of scientists are willing to risk arrest in a desperate bid to get leaders to act on the climate crisis. Listen to climate scientist Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman choke up as he and others at @ScientistRebel1 block an entrance to @Chase in LA today.📷 via organizers

The @IPCC_CH #WGIII has released both its full report, along with a page-turning "Summary for Policymakers"! Some preliminary thoughts from @CarbonGap on the implications for #CarbonRemoval follow. ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/ 1/x

No matter how exhausted you are today, how outraged, how frustrated, please remember that cynicism is obedience to power.

That a ‘carbon budget’ is even a thing is proof enough that our society has completely lost its way. It’s lunacy that we’re prepared to destroy the living world & push our planet’s habitability to the absolute limit in order to maintain lifestyles of meaningless overconsumption.

If there's one thing to learn from this horrible crisis it's this: We must end our dependence on big oil & authoritarian regimes for expensive fossil fuels that are destroying the planet & harming our economy. Now, more than ever, we need a Manhattan Project for renewable energy.

The Amazon Rainforest is 55 million years old. And it’s going to die on our watch. Fuck our capitalist leaders who are doing nothing while the world burns.

I'm joining a growing group of people who refuse to use the euphemistic "climate change", and call it what it really is: Climate Chaos Messaging is important.

War or no war - climate change is not going away and nobody must lose focus on the utter devastation that awaits us in as little 5 years

Reminder: Russia can only afford to fight this war because of oil and gas. It's biggest weapon against Europe is cutting off supplies of oil and gas. Might be time to go renewable. #StandWithUkraine
