The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stone. Society has changed before at the scale we need it to today: but that change was never catalyzed by presidents, PMs, or CEOs of the richest companies of the time. The fossil fuel age won’t end until we ordinary people demand it does.

The @london.gov.uk has an advisory Commission whose objectives sound a lot like @kateraworth.bsky.social #DoughnutEconomics. What if this was how London worked. "Providing People's Needs Within the Planet's Limits". What a goal.

New analysis: If four UK airport expansions including Heathrow are allowed to go ahead, they will cancel out the carbon savings of this government’s clean power plan IN JUST FIVE YEARS. This government must cancel these planned expansions. neweconomics.org/2025/01/airp...

“What will I tell my children when I get back home? You left us for two weeks, for what? For nothing! Not even peanuts!" Tetet Lauron at #COP29 on the text for the #NCQG on #ClimateFinance failing to deliver US$ 1.3 trillion a year whilst the #ClimateCrisis claims lives and livelihoods.

1. I’ve seen a few people state, replying to y'day’s thread, that the left wing is innately respectful, while the right is innately abusive. I’m very much on the left (some would say far left) and have fought rightwing politics all my adult life. But in fairness I don’t think this is wholly true. 🧵
