"Who pays the price for climate destruction around the globe? Not the fossil fuel industry pocketing profits and taxpayer subsidies as their products wreak havoc. Everyday people suffer, with their lives and livelihoods," says UN SG Antonio Guterres 1/3

A lesson we never seem to learn: you can't cut emissions just by building out renewables. You also have to stop burning fossil fuels. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/c...

We often conflate “addressing false information” with “arguing with dismissives.” But as I often say, even an angel from God with brand new stone tablets saying “global warming is real” wouldn’t sway the 10% who are dismissive. For the other 90%, though, debunking myths is key to unlocking action!

It’s exhausting to hear reporters lazily referencing the “unpopular carbon tax” while giving up on informing us that the reason it’s “unpopular” is the successful conservative misinformation campaign ignoring that it’s better than price neutral for people & is a bare minimum tool for climate action.

First post and three emotions, off the back of COP29: Betrayal at the failure of developed countries to deliver finance for humankind, rage at the influence of the fossil fuel industry in climate decision-making, and determination to continue as part of our movement for people + planet over profit.
