#FarmersProtests Goes Vogue] exploring sudden #celebrity uptake - as gov't struggled to contain #resistance.

Here we can study #GlobalCitizen & structure/mechanisms of such NGOs, financed to serve corporate/imperial interests.
#GlobalCitizen model: nurturing of #celebrity worship as a "pop & policy" model to harvest/exploit targeted youth demographic. Via partnerships w/ #Rihanna, celebrities, influencers, athletes, - it intends to become world's "leading international voice, educator, & influencer".
#GlobalCitizen is the Global Poverty Project, Inc.

Some background on the 2030 petrol/diesel vehicle sales ban...
1️⃣ Does business back this policy? Resoundingly yes. 29 companies, including 5 of the UK's 6 biggest fleets, have been calling for this all year theclimategroup.org/our-work/press…

2️⃣ Who will drive this transition? Again, it's business. 60% of new cars and almost all new vans/trucks are bought by companies. Our #EV100 members, switching 700,000 vehicles on UK roads to EV by 2030, are the sharp end of the wedge. We then get these EVs cheaper second hand.
3️⃣ What about charging? Again (spot the theme yet?) it's business. Our #EV100 members are rolling out charging for staff and customers - crucial for people who can't charge at home - at 1200 UK locations by 2030. @Tesco is a cracking example theclimategroup.org/our-work/press…
Topping references Mission Possible report last year, which concluded net zero transport is possible. Trucks and road transport can get to zero at no significant cost. Electric can work for short haul flights and shipping...
Long haul shipping is harder, but world's largest operator, Maersk, is building the low emission tech it needs.
Going net zero for shipping would add less than one per cent to the cost of a pair of jeans.
