“The average global temperature will likely increase between 4.1 and 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit (or between 2.3 and 4.5 degrees Celsius) if current rates of fossil fuel use and deforestation continue.” bit.ly/307rVUV

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.

#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

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.
