We have to turn

"Sure, I would join in, if others started acting."

into

"I'm acting to inspire others to join in."

for the climate, for democracy, for the future.

Do the right thing.

It may not always be clear at first what the right thing is. For example, recycling is fairly easy but accomplishes much less than something more difficult such as changing your diet or giving up your car.

Learn the differences, and do the right thing. 🤗

Graphic is titled: "Carbon Footprint Misconceptions." It lists eight actions that we as consumers might take in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, and shows that some of those actions that we might think will make a high impact actually will not, such as recycling, whereas other actions, such as not having a car, will save greatly on emissions.


🔥 🌍 The climate crisis is not a technical problem to be fixed by engineers, but a predicament we all have to face. This interactive flowchart by Andrew Boyd and Jona Pomerance is an invitation to hear the impossible news and navigate the implications:

Please, give it a go, share your feedback and pass it on! It is an experimental prototype: We are curious to hear what you think.

#ClimateChange mitigation.

Wrong idea - The tech heads talk of constructing Carbon Capture machines. That would require hundreds of thousands of machines, more mining, more power consumption #fail

Right approach #nature

But, the photo of another deforested landscape. This is not wetland, Tree's used to & would grow here. Sheep keep it looking like this.

Photo taken in #Sheep District National Park, #England (officially called the Lake District National park)

#ClimateAction #ClimatePolicy
The photo shows a stream running through a deforested landscape. The only place where the odd tree grows is where humans or sheep couldn't get to them (e.g., on the vertical rocky crags).

As Tree's grow they capture carbon. To mitigate climate change we need to use solutions, big & small, that don't emit & or sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide


It takes a village…

…of billionaires to wreck a planet.

They don’t need to have a majority, or anything even close to a plurality. All it takes is a few thousand sociopathic billionaires — the population of a village — to take full control of everything and then completely ruin our livable biosphere while further enriching themselves.

The scale on the image below is NOT exaggerated. In less than two centuries, and especially just within the last 30 years, capitalist oligarchs have burned so much coal, oil, and gas that our climate system simply can’t handle it.

It’s almost out of control now. But the people who are to blame have names and addresses.

Graphic shows average global temperature from 20,000 BC until the present, then extended until 2100. Also indicated are the safe climate temperature zone, the rise of human civilization, the start of the industrial revolution, and the extreme temperature danger zones that we will reach before 2050 and before 2100 if current policies are not changed.

Wind turbines kill birds.

While this is true, it misses an important piece of context:

Fossil fuel power plants kill 35x more birds per GWh than wind turbines do.

"The wider use of wind energy can save wildlife and birds as it displaces more harmful sources of electricity."

In other words, the best way to protect birds is to displace fossil fuels. #ClimateAction #EndFossilFuel
