  1. Mikaela Loach, a Jamaican British climate justice activist, says the hurricane was “caused by the climate crisis,” and says fossil fuel companies are to blame. It’s important to “direct that anger towards people who are responsible,” Loach says, suggesting that hurricanes be named after oil executives.

  2. @robsonfletcher We all thought we were living in our ideal home, Planet Earth, but then, disaster. It’s disappointing but woke that a two year old child feels the same loss as an adult, such a short time to transform the trees to matchsticks.

  3. @pfsmet @universiteitleiden een theorie is (weet niet of het klopt, maar ik vermoed van wel) dat het verschil niet kennen tussen kW en kWh je niet bedenkelijk, maar juist “relatable” maakt bij modale kiezers. Maar: ergens moet er toch een ondergrens zijn waarbij onkennis plots toch bedenkelijk wordt? Ik weet niet waar die ondergrens ligt, maar hij zal omhoog moeten. #climateurgency

    That many people won't weather the temperatures and storms we've unleashed. So the large number you used measures nothing useful (in my view) but has the bad effect of tethering conversations to anchor bias that cannot be intellectually overcome, even if you only offered it as a stawman to dismiss. I strongly recommend not doing that.

    I have the same issue with even mentioning programs that plan to be helpful other than ASAP, yesterday, immediately, etc. Naming any future year suggests the option to pace what can have no safe pace. Better we understand our state will be perpetually "behind schedule and lucky if humanity is still standing" for our lifetimes. Anything else is throwing away thi shreds of hope of any future.

    I personally measure carrying capacity not by best case scenarios, such as you vaguely cite, but by worst, and we're not well-preparing for any worst case, much less an enduring crescendo of worst cases.

  5. Which universities will also sign this letter, next to @vuamsterdam and 175 other organisations ? You can also sign yourself

  6. Poorer countries ask for $100 billion to mitigate climate change caused by the rich, and rich countries can't find the cash. But when 3 banks fail in a matter of weeks, the cash is ready at hand to bail them out!

    General Castellaw: “So this is far more than an environmental problem. It’s a humanitarian, security and possibly military problem too.” #ClimateUrgency twitter.com/nytclimate/status/
