Yes, there are countless opportunities connected to taking real, bold climate action. But as long as we only treat it as “an opportunity” rather than the existential crisis it is we won’t get out of this mess.
We can’t solve a crisis without treating it like a crisis.

I don’t get it. Why is it seen as a success that richer countries vaccinate 10s of millions healthy young people, if that leads to further delays of vaccinating risk groups and frontline workers in other parts of the world? Surely solidarity and common sense must come first? -> twitter.com/wellcometrust/…

"Regrowth takes time the world does not have to solve climate change”

"BP is planning to drill for fossil gas on the edge of the world’s largest cold-water coral reef."
I guess this is the latest addition to the UK's "Green Industrial Revolution" and "Build Back Better" campaigns.
It looks promising so far...

It simply means that you are a bit different from everyone else. And in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same - being different is truly something to be proud of.
Thats why I’m very proud to be autistic. 7/7

”just 10 percent believe world leaders are doing enough.”
