So-called ”climate denialism” is no longer the problem. But rather the general ignoring and belittling of the climate emergency. As this sends signals that the situation is under control and real action is being taken - while the crucial 1.5-2°C goals are slipping out of reach.
We live in the midst of a pandemic, but climate change is just as much of a crisis as it was before. We call for a global day of action on September 25th, in whatever way is safe for you and your community! 💚🌍 fridaysforfuture.org/september25 #GlobalClimateAction2020 #FightEveryCrisis

Portugal ends coal burning two years ahead of schedule
Portugal is the third EU country this year to announce early closure of its last coal plants, as rising carbon costs and competition from gas and clean energy bite
#COVID19 has exposed the lie that free markets can deliver healthcare for all, the fiction that unpaid care work isn't work, the delusion that we live in a post-racist world. We are all floating on the same sea, but some are in superyachts & others clinging to drifting debris.
We need not only climate action, but also climate justice. Political leaders must raise their ambition, businesses must raise their sights, and people everywhere must raise their voices. There is a better way, and we must take it.

So enjoying teaching (and learning) on the @soassummer course on the #ClimateCrisis at the moment - amazing discussions, fascinating questions and lots of inspiration @SOAS
We couldn’t agree more...
Protest and direct action in huge numbers is the only thing that might save us all from catastrophic climate breakdown at this point. But those in power are moving to label climate activists as "terrorists." If this becomes normalized, all is lost.
