636 fossil fuel lobbyists are roaming around #COP27
They, and the leaders that are beholden to them, are trying to suffocate 1.5C target, quietly and slowly until it’s too late.
Today I spoke to G20 Energy Ministers, who must end this “moral and economic madness.”
ends,leaders still negotiating,we are here to remind them;This is the time to stop gas and oil projects in Africa.This is the moment to say bye to fossil fuels and keep 1.5 alive.Use this opportunity to show us your humanity,Pay up for loss and damage.DONT FAIL US.

Umm No. We don’t need another airport. We need low carbon transportation options like high speed rail, EV buses, etc. Stop building climate catastrophes that harm communities and jeopardize our future. #ClimateCrisis#PeopleNotProfit#ClimateJusticeNow
Four locations in Western Washington are being considered for a new major airport. Here's why its needed, plus why all the proposed locations face serious opposition. https://st.news/3hFRwzs
"Here's why its needed"...
There is a difference between "need" & "want".
Not all demand should be filled.
We need to stop deluding ourselves.
We need to drastically reduce emissions.
We need to reimagine the unsustainable way we live.
We need to think about future generations.

I do not personally feel that human extinction is likely, but I do feel we are currently on a highway to messy civilizational collapse and a long dark ages, and the key to getting off this highway is to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and ramp it down quickly. #EmergencyMode
Today! Many of us are Ingraham students and we want real supports like counselors to talk with us and our classmates - not more guns and cops roaming our halls
This morning, Ingraham High School students and the Seattle Students Union have organized a district wide walk out. The students will meet at City Hall at 11:30 to demand the City Council take $9 million from SPD to pay for 1 counselor for every 200 high schoolers in the City

Once again, fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber every national delegation at COP27. Complete failure is of course ensured until they stop letting in the fossil fuel industry. It's a mockery of any real effort to stop Earth breakdown.
at COP 27.
We are ready to amplify the voices of other young people who didn't make it to Sharm El Sheikh. It's a time now to put things in action.
#ClimateAction#ClimateFinance#LossAndDamage
Climate #COP27 talks have begun. Fellow students & I protested at #COP6 22yr ago w #OzoneAction (CO2 was 370ppm). Today’s activists are still waiting for delegates & leaders to act and stop rising CO2 (this year 420 ppm).
No new fossil fuels!
#FossilFuelTreaty#ClimateJusticeNow
My brother just had his last glass of water in prison. Please keep his story alive, it's not over. He can be saved.
This afternoon I'm flying to Sharm, I have a civil society pass. The Egyptian regime claims civic space exists in #COP27 , I'll be testing that.
#FreeAlaa
A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.
No viable path left to 1.5C.
From today’s White House briefing: “Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year.”
Utterly tragic for the Earth and our future. Words fail.
ICA weekly meetings this quarter will be on Fridays from 4-5pm in Savery 166! Join us each week to get involved with climate justice on campus and to meet new friends who care about climate!
Hope to see you there!
Truly inspired protest outside the World Bank. Since its president says he's not a scientist, scientists are reading peer-reviewed science outside his door all morning!
Space Apps Challenge. Your mission is to make a scientifically informative/correct but emotionally resonant short video on any climate impact that affects you

🚨 10/1 #CruiseFreeSalishSea Action: Join extinction rebellion Seattle & SCC for a March & rally at Pier 66 to say good bye & good riddance to the 2022 cruise season
Sen. Manchin's side deal is a love letter to the fossil fuel industry. 🤢 We need to use all of our organizing power to #StopTheDirtyDeal, which would gut NEPA and fast track more polluting projects like MVP. Act now: http://tinyurl.com/blockthedeal.
Schumer and Manchin's backroom side deal may be trying to silence our voices and push through fossil fuel projects but we are rising up and fighting back. We need everyone to keep calling and writing their reps to demand they #StopTheDeal: 917-791-2257.
With midterms in less than 2 months, it is even more insane that Democrats would try & rush through a fossil fuel giveaway bill in a completely undemocratic fashion.
BREAKING: The heads of 13 climate + EJ orgs are on Capitol Hill in DC right now, risking arrest to denounce Senator Manchin’s #DirtyDeal to fast-track fossil fuel projects.
We stand w/ them and the frontline-led movement rising up to say #NoDirtyDeal! https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1djGXlBEQnNGZ…
