    “To think of climate change as something that WE are doing, instead of something we are being prevented from undoing, perpetuates the very ideology of the fossil-fuel economy we’re trying to transform.”

    1 Climate breakdown is now terrifyingly urgent. Those who get that urgency will want to be doing everything they can to mitigate. This is true at every scale, and for every lifestyle, and whatever your employment / economic / health status might be. Do “all of the above.”

    I know we’re only four days in, but this, from , is one of the best things you’ll read about climate change all year.

    It’s great to have remind people that every piece of moderate common sense is the hard-won legacy of dead radicals who were regarded in their times as dangerous & wrong.

    advocating impeachment with salty language is actually a fairly tame response to a president who put children in internment camps

    What I don’t get: if everyone has to stop flying and eating meat in order to halt warming, why shouldn’t folks start now, while they’re working for systems change? I honestly don’t get this. Don’t we have 30 years to draw down emisssions to zero? When are we going to begin?

    Whatever the reason, I think it's fair to say supporting "the concept" of a Green New Deal is not equivalent to embracing the policy

    Denmark has certainly led the way on electricity, but its total CO2 has barely changed since 1990 once aviation, shipping, imports & exports are taken into account. Just shows how far we have to go & how consumptions levels & distribution are pivotal to addressing climate change.

    Happy 16th Birthday to , whom history will understand to be as transformative and important as Ghandi and MLK. You are a guiding light to us all! 💚

    This is silly. There’s no such thing as “supporting” a Green New Deal as an afterthought. It’s not just a policy. The GND is a philosophical position that climate justice should be THE primary job of government. If Warren didn’t mention it in her launch, she doesn’t get it.

    TBH when I hear “climate breakdown,” I think about Mick Jagger. I’m curious instead about the term “climate destruction,” which communicates both that we’re destroying our climate & that the climate will cause the destruction of our world (if we don’t stop using FFs). Thoughts?
