"Hope is not passive. Hope is not blah blah blah. Hope is telling the truth. Hope is taking action." -

“Things may look dark, but I’m telling you there is hope. And that hope comes from the people, from democracy, from you,” says @GretaThunberg.

This article is 109 years old. And we still aren't doing enough to act on climate change.

When Twitter is fighting over whether it's Biden or capitalism that we should blame for increased gas prices.

Such a powerful image - the Minister from Tuvalu in the South Pacific delivered his speech to #COP26 from the sea to illustrate the crisis they face with rising sea levels
A year ago I had a conversation with a friend who insisted that environmentalism was never going to be a focus issue for the poorest people in the Global North: they have other problems. But, as always in crises, the poorest & minorities are always the ones who struggle the most.

The top 1% of earners emit as much carbon as the entirety of the poorest 50%.
That's why the climate crisis is and will continue to be so difficult to solve. We need a transformation, a deep mindset shift. A lot of people have it horrible in this corrupt and destructive system anyway... Why don't we change it altogether? #ClimateJustice #ClimateActionNow
The capitalist system is based on growth.
The "invisible hand" of the market ensures
that there is growth
no matter how and where.
Our leaders didn't learn anything else.
They cannot find a solution
because there is no solution within this system.

More delegates at #COP26 are from the fossil fuel industries than any single country . . . who let these people in ? Lobbying is probably the greatest handicap to democracy and progress we have . It’s corrupt - pure and simple . . . bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26

#COP26: GREENWASH ALERT!
The fossil fuel industry & banks caused are among the biggest climate villains. Now @Shell @BP & @StanChart are here in Glasgow trying to scale up offsetting & give polluters a free pass to keep polluting. Their plan could trash the 1,5°C goal.

3. As of now, the best part has been meeting my friends, my kin, my inspirations. For the récord, all of the real work, the work that is attempting to change the course of the climate crisis is happening outside of COP in basements amoungst the youth.
