    Another *must read* article by George Monbiot - “Capitalism is killing the planet – it’s time to stop buying into our own destruction” theguardian.com/environment/20 where he says: “Instead of focusing on ‘micro consumerist bollocks’ like ditching our plastic coffee cups, we must challenge the pursuit of wealth and level down, not up”

    IMHO the very last sentence, (“Our survival depends on disobedience”), is the most important of the article because it tells us that we, the people, need to get off our social media device and take some actual #ClimagteAction:

    Because 'our survival' depends on us – WE,THE PEOPLE, to save planet Earth by becoming 'disobedient' #EcoConciousConsumers thinkhousehq.com/features/clim who actively mitigate global warming by our daily choices: who we donate to, who we vote for, what we invest/divest/bank in; what we buy, eat, drive/pedal; to switch from gas to electric; to reduce, reuse, recycle; & to consume less. news.climate.columbia.edu/2018

    This post, while unarguably correct, reminds me of the Steve de Shazer quote “Problem talk creates problems, Solution talk creates solutions”.

    Your “problem talk” words could lead the general public to believe that all is lost, that the worst of climate change is inevitable, that the problem is too big, that it is too late and that we might as well give up and walk into the burning forest now.

    I would like to add some “solution talk”.

    IMO, it’s up to us – WE,THE PEOPLE, to save planet Earth by becoming #EcoConciousConsumers thinkhousehq.com/features/clim who actively mitigate global warming by our daily choices: who we donate to, who we vote for, what we invest/divest/bank in; what we buy, eat, drive/pedal; to switch from gas to electric; to reduce, reuse, recycle; & to consume less. news.climate.columbia.edu/2018

    When it comes to the #ClimateEmergency - It is not hopeless & we, the people are not helpless! If we take individual action now - without asking anyone! theguardian.com/commentisfree/

    The film: “Wake Up, Freak Out – then Get a Grip” youtube.com/watch?v=VnyLIRCPaj tells us that “preventing run-away Global Warming is the single most important task in all of human history - and it is up to us to do it. If we don’t then everything else we have achieved in our lives will become meaningless”!

    The United nation says: “Everyone can help limit climate change. From the way we travel, to the electricity we use, the food we eat, and the things we buy, we can make a difference.” un.org/en/actnow/ten-actions

    Greta Thunberg says - “Politicians are not coming to the rescue of planet Earth” newstatesman.com/environment/2 & “Saving the world is voluntary…we need billions of #climate activists” theguardian.com/environment/20. So, let’s do everything we can that doesn’t require their action.

    Robert Reich @rbreich Says “A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive…” youtube.com/watch?v=Y_sjfchNsi But, these Oligarchs got rich by convincing us to buy products that we don’t actually need & that are harmful to our planet. So, stop buying those products!

    William Stanley Jevons said: “Value is created by the consumer, not the producer… the consumer is the ‘ultimate regulator of demand’” - theatlantic.com/business/archi So people - stop demanding!

    The quote "the earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those doing the killing have names and addresses" is very appropriate. The problem is that:

    DR. SAILESH RAO position paper climatehealers.org/the-science says: “...animal agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, responsible for at least 87% of annual GHGs.”

    Yes this is bad news, but weforum.org/agenda/2020/11/gre says "But that’s not going to happen is it? Well not any time soon, but understanding how much of the ice sheet might melt over the coming century is a critical and urgent question that scientists are..."

    However there is some good news:

    This Washington Post article: “How a little-discussed revision of climate science could help avert doom” washingtonpost.com/outlook/202 says - “We can reduce global temperatures faster than we once thought — if we act now”

    @PaulWermer @RobWald @pvonhellermannn @rbreich

    Well said. Communal action by #EcoConciousConsumers can actually reduce greenhouse gasses. Protesting *may* get action from our leaders but there are many things that the public can do in the meantime.

    Have you considered that maybe it's up to us, We,the people, to solve the climate crisis?

    UN Secretary-General António Guterres says; “The situation we are witnessing now is a demonstration that Climate Change is out of control! If we persist in delaying key measures that are needed, I think that we are moving into a catastrophic situation.” theguardian.com/environment/20

    Natasha Bulowski says: “If you’re not terrified, ‘you’re not paying attention’: Politicians, activist urge action amid record-breaking temperatures” nationalobserver.com/2023/07/0

    What are those “Key Measures”? Are you terrified yet? Is there anything that you can do without waiting on the ‘powers that be’?
