🔥 We visited the Norwegian embassy this morning with a message for Norway and their *state-owned* oil giant Equinor: Stop Rosebank!

While Norway portrays itself as a climate leader, they profit from Equinor opening fossil fuel projects across the world.

How do we define the success of a movement?

I don't think people realize how much climate pollution is produced by beef.

Per pound (or kg) it emits -- on average -- about 60 pounds (or kg) of greenhouse gases. See below.

For comparison, one pound of gasoline releases about ~4 pounds of greenhouse gases.

'The fact we can't simulate these step-change increases and understand why it's happening is terrifying.' -- Prof. Hayley Fowler

'The impact of warming the ocean could lead to new classes of heatwaves we've never seen before.' -- Prof. Valerio Lucarini

It's OK to express pessimism about our will to act fast enough and urgently enough to avert 1.5C or 2C warming.

It's NOT OK to wrongly conflate that pessimism with the false claim that it is physically or technologically impossible for us to do so at this point.

PLEASE, shout out in public what you whisper in private.

Powerful and important article by Guy Singh-Watson: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I wish those you engaged with (& other's working on these issues) would much more often (& repeatedly) make their views known & vociferously counter the litany of optimistic crap that dominates/twists the climate debate (& which journalists all too often unquestioningly peddle).

I've long said we're at risk of losing essentially everything due to global heating - all of modern life, much of life on Earth, billions of human lives, our super habitable planet. More and more climate scientists are coming to see this. Please start listening

Ecosocialism cannot just have good politics or policy. It must also develop an ecological sensibility amongst the populace and working class.

I’m stoked to read Richard Seymour’s The Disenchanted Earth that seeks to do just that.
