Every single day leaders have the possibility to act, and yet they actively choose not to.
Instead they set up vague hypothetical pledges and commitments way into the future.
No more excuses.

This video was made for the first round of the Brazilian elections, but is still equally relevant today.
So much is at stake in this election – for the whole world. #Eleicoes2022 twitter.com/thejuicemedia/…

The greatest activists of today are the ones who are actively - or passively - supporting the status quo by avoiding real and meaningful climate action.
The struggle to maintain business as usual is probably the most successful and powerful activist movement ever.

A big congratulations and thank you to everyone - especially the indigenous peoples on the ground - who made this happen!
This is what people power looks like. Activism works. So act. #NoKXL twitter.com/dallasgoldtoot…

If only words, pledges and setting distant hypothetical targets actually lowered our emissions then we wouldn't still be in this mess.
The longer we pretend we can "fix this" without treating the crisis like a crisis, the more invaluable time we'll loose.

Interesting that this also includes the emissions from burning the petrol they sell.
Reminder: the idea of cutting CO2 emissions 50% by 2030 is based on an IPCC CO2 budget which gives us 50% chance to stay below 1,5° excluding most feedbacks, tipping points, aspect of equity etc. twitter.com/CNN/status/139…

What some call ”climate action” is actually outsourcing and excluding consumption, setting vague distant targets, burning biomass instead of fossil fuels and excluding the emissions, offsetting, switching from one disastrous energy source to a slightly less disastrous one etc.2/2
