Die Regierung schreitet beim Klimaschutz weiterhin nur mit Minischritten voran!
Kommt mit uns am 29.11 auf die Straße um für eine effektive Klimapolitik zu kämpfen!

The most effective, available and scalable #carbon #capture technology is reforesting our planet. There are practically no downsides to this. #Restoration could become a driver for a new kind of eco-nomic growth. Imagine a tax-funded initiative to massively deploy forestry programs. This would be a jobs programme as well. Give people housing in the newly reforested areas so they can maintain them. Combine agro-forestry and permaculture techniques to feed the local populations and restore biodiversity. Make it possible for people currently in bullshit jobs or carbon-intensive jobs to retrain to this new system. It is possible. We have the means.

#TellTheTruth - Die #Klimakrise ist heue mit deutlichen Worten in der @tagesschau@twitter.com

Twelve years to save Earth? Make that 18 months...

Last year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (#IPCC) reported that to keep the rise in global temperatures below 1.5C this century, emissions of #CarbonDioxide would have to be cut by 45% by 2030.

But today, observers recognise that the #decisive, #political #steps to enable the cuts in #carbon to take place will have to happen before the end of #next #year.

"A Google employee spoke with the Bay Area Reporter on the condition of anonymity about the current mood among LGBTQ Googlers, saying by phone that, "I'm really worried that they [company leadership] don't know how unsustainable this is. They want to have it both ways: to monetize the engagement that comes from really odious content, but to bear no responsibility for it. And all of us queers who work here see how they're getting away with making money off people who hate us while doing nothing to stop them. Meanwhile, most queer creators' channels are demonetized or marked 'adult' because they use words like 'trans.' Google has no right to be at Pride. They're just capitalists. They don't care."
