However, it's becoming painfully clear that no real change will happen until this dominates the news so that the Business-As-Usual-Activists can be held accountable. Now they can get away with anything since the climate- and ecological crisis doesn't exist in the public debate.
703
Or could it be that they... I don't know... maybe just don't really care? And that they are doing everything in their power to maintain business-as-usual and delay real change for as long as they can get away with it?
704
Isn't it funny that the same people who are calling us naive for believing change is possible are the ones who believe fossil fuel companies, big polluters and oil producing nations will ”fix” the climate- and ecological crisis with their vague, distant ”net zero” commitments...?

Fossil gas and burning trees for energy will play key part in EU's so-called "Green Deal".
A leak shows the EU is surrendering to lobbyists - giving up on fulfilling their promises and on the Paris Agreement.

”UK government to allow new North Sea oil and gas exploration”
UK petroleum reserves stand at ca 5.2 billion barrels, the combustion of these fuels would add a further 2.2 gigatons CO2, but now drillers will look for more ”climate compatible” oil...

"The technology, known as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), could prove a cure worse than the disease, at least when it comes to water stress."
The moment we include holistic thinking we see there are no quick fixes to the climate crisis. newscientist.com/article/227022…

"This is ‘sports-wash’– when heavily polluting industries sponsor sport to appear as friends of healthy activity, when in fact they’re pumping lethal pollution into the very air that athletes have to breathe, and wrecking the climate that sport depends on"

Today is #IntlForestDay
We’re loosing 10 million acres of forest every year, at a time when we need to maximise every possible carbon sink.
In some places planting trees is a great solution but given our timeframe the most effective way is to protect and rewild existing forests.
