“Countries pouring money into fossil fuels to fight recession”.
So this is what our leaders mean when they talk about a so-called “green recovery” and “listening to the children”.
No one is coming to our rescue.
It’s up to us.
We’re on our own.

”The production and burning of coal, oil and gas was subsidised by $5.9tn in 2020.”
People in power are spending $11 million every minute on practices that destroy our living conditions and life supporting systems.
Ignorance and stupidity defined. theguardian.com/environment/20…

HSBC is planning to continue financing coal for another 2 decades(!).
And this is somehow seen as "good news"???
This really shows how completely out of touch with reality we are and how urgently the narrative needs to change.

When you compare the overall current best available science to their insufficient, hypothetical "climate targets" you clearly see that there’s a gap, there are decades missing.
Until we adress this gap, no real solutions will be found.
Let's call out the bullsh*t.

This has been pointed out over and and over again throughout 2020 by leading experts and yet it has been pretty much completely ignored in the debate. twitter.com/swetac/status/…

The ”net” in ”net-zero emissions” could be among the greatest - and most dangerous - loopholes ever created. The fact that our governments are using the same language as the worlds most polluting fossil fuel companies really says it all... #FightFor1Point5

Banning "fossil advertising" is of course a good start. But if we are to avoid the worst consequences of the climate crisis we cannot just strive to be "fossil free", but free from all greenhouse gas intense practices.
There's no room left for loopholes and non-holistic thinking.
