The world is still expanding fossil fuel infrastructure and pouring astronomical amounts of money into destruction. We are still speeding in the wrong direction. There is indeed a long way ahead of us - but we are still here and we are not planning on going anywhere. 3/4

Ett samhälle där politiska partier systematiskt hånar och hatar barn som bara refererar till forskningen är ett sjukt samhälle. Antidemokratiska och populistiska vindar blåser starkt. Vi måste stå emot. Vi unga vädjar till er, stå på rätt sida av historien. #RöstFörRättvisa

So apparently California will continue to extract oil for another 2,5 decades... And yet this is somehow seen as “good news”.
The gap between the urgency needed and where the discussion is at is becoming more and more absurd.

If future generations ask me how it was possible that we sacrificed future and present living conditions for humanity and life on earth as we know it, I will show them this article.
