Can we really justify this?
It’s incredible how pervasive, how all encompassing, how insidious a vile idea can become insinuated into the moral mindset of a society, to the point where egregious violence & mass killing becomes acceptable, normalised & the population fully complicit in depravity.

6 months rain in one day in Northern #Italy Some areas saw 500 mm of rainfall in 36 hours. That is insanely off the charts. We are not watching a disaster movie - we are living through one..the greatest one.
Extinction doesn't negotiate: we must protect half the Earth by 2030 and need the money to pay for it. @avaaz just delivered 3.2M voices from around the world to #COP15: @vonderleyen @EmmanuelMacron @JustinTrudeau are you hearing us? youtu.be/jKejAO2-dco

We must all be concerned for democracy, for the rights of nature, for the possibility of the next generation to have a future. We will soon be inviting citizens from across the globe to be in conversation about a future that matters within the limits of this planet. @ChoiceCreate

As @UN SG @antonioguterres stated “We are at crunch time in #COP27 negotiations” and we have an important question for World Leaders: 🧵
One of the many things I love about Dartmoor. It's constantly changing. You'll never get bored.
Sunrise this morning on #Dartmoor
The tale of two halves. Standing on the same spot. Glorious sunrise colours. Directly behind me, thick fog. Two completely different weather conditions!
A huge loss. Ecological economics is huge part of the answer @GundInstitute @KateRaworth @DoughnutEcon @EconCommonGood
Great news! Needed in every country asap
This is big: The University of Barcelona is going to create an interdisciplinary course on the social and ecological crisis, which ALL STUDENTS will be required to take starting in 2024. (Note: It is ALL STUDENTS, not just MSCs as the @guardian suggests.) theguardian.com/world/2022/n…

Dear @JustStop_Oil Focus on the press. Demand they #TellThePublicTheFullTruth of climate change on their front pages - and see what happens! You’d get the public behind you and force a conversation about why they won’t
