Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

Clearly pretty bad.
It's probably too late now, but I worry about that term "climate popularism".
"No, no, it's populARism not populism" ... "Sounds the same to me, mate"
Wait for the Report. The label isn’t the main point :)
They should be taxed and or fined to cover cost of Climate Change mitigations & Plastic Apocalypse.
We need separation of Capitalism and state. It should not be the means of GIVING public money to rapacious planet wreckers.
Is that so controversial?
My message was:
- Tactical voting isn't
- 🟥🟦🟪🟧 have all lied/betrayed
- Only 💚, #AllOutGreen = absolute truth = meaningful change
I 100% agree with this ⏬:
They've benefited as much as the Tories from the two party system. It's a power sharing arrangement.
Why would they ever change it.
I'll keep saying it till I'm dead: it won't change until people learn that only a green government would work FOR them
No "tactical" votes or falling for snake oil sales.
The system will only be broken on its own terms. That means winning a majority. That means getting the public to vote green. With honesty and decency
Maybe we environment aware types ought to be carving that slice of the pie ourselves so we have survivability AND leverage over the rich-but-dumb ravagers of the world.

Wasn't there a parliamentary candidate in your local community to take over from you? Genuine question.
The way to build an organisation is by empowering others.

It's 'take back control' again, but different.
We need razor sharp focus on the billionaire Deform media seeking to destroy UK climate action& Installing Farage as our Trump...

They promised Country over Party, and Government in the service of the people - not antisocial policies in the service of humanity-threatening profit-seekers.
The UK needs a green & gold alternative to the purple bruise that is the Con/Lab duopoly or Reform nightmare.
Do it.
At least ½ the country will not forgive that. Ever.
We should push that @greenparty.org.uk is the only party with 100% truth+trust record.
#Decency matters to more voters now
You may be ok with ream and run, I don't see it as a flaw that half the country won't forgive being betrayed. I see that as being exactly what politicians have failed to realise for decades and what will determine who holds the keys to the castle in decades to come.
On the basis that only a green government will do what needs to be done. All other parties are just near feathers and trough divers. As has been shown time and time again.

Remember the level of stupid we faced in Brexit supporters. If they don't get it they just go "Nope. You're wrong. Discⁿ over"
This has to be made to appeal to all.
