My latest: Don't listen to the siren calls against populism. What we desperately need now is real populism - of Extinction Rebellion, of Greta Thunberg and the school strikes, of a Green New Deal and climate emergencies to save us from the abysshttps://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2019-05-14/real-populism-is-the-answer-to-climate-crisis/ …

Precisely: "They believe these groups, these strategies are flawed"-what is flawed is the entire "net" zero fairy tale which is the core of XR's written goal for these protests. It only serves financial interests not the planet. Net zero does not mean zero it is just an illusion

What is also flawed is XR's focus on the climate to the exclusion of the much bigger reason for extinctions: exploitation of nature. We need a holistic approach which addresses that climate change is the result of the industrial exploitation of both nature & the Global South.

These exploitations will only be Greenwashed by a Green New Deal, they will actually make climate change much worse via deforestation. They lead to new wars for "Green" minerals required for solar panels & wind turbines. Process already began in Congo with cobalt war exploitation

ca. 6 million dead in Congo since the US/Israeli genocide operation in Rwanda in 1992, nobody talks about it. @JudiRever has a new book on the subject in English.https://twitter.com/Cukullen/status/976013965414322176 …
