"we face an unavoidably radical future. We either continue with rising emissions and reap the radical repercussions of severe climate change, or we acknowledge that we have a choice and pursue radical emission reductions: No longer is there a non-radical option"
— @KevinClimate
The question is not whether system change comes, the question is how it comes. If it doesn't come through a radical, urgent shift away from the governing ideology, economics and politics, it *will* come about via a collapse of these systems. Those are the choices.

The catastrophic climate scenario we're in is the result of centuries of exploitation & oppression through colonialism, extractivism & capitalism, an essentially flawed socio-economic model which urgently needs to be replaced. What does that mean? 🧵

The cloud has the same short-term climate impact as the annual #emissions of about 1,900 cars - and no one knows where it came from. @ClimateNexus

We cannot have equity in education & also have a system relying on standardized testing. The two cannot coexist.

Carbon markets have a decade-long track record of failing to stem greenhouse gas emissions, while harming Black and brown communities.
@SpeakerPelosi, we need to reject false climate solutions and instead help farmers mitigate climate change.

From 2008 to 2016, North Carolina added about 60 new poultry farms each year. That number doubled between 2016 and 2018.
North Carolina now has more than 6,500 poultry CAFOs, nearly triple the number of hog farms.
