Very excited to rip out our fossil #gas furnace and replace it with a cold climate air-source #heatpump this week. New system is more affordable, efficient and comfortable and will end our household dependance on fossil fuels. Disconnect #gas #electrifyeverything #ClimateCrisis
I'll be sure to post details, photos (and eventually household energy data) through the process.

The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?'
So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them.
Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!

First, let's just recap and take in where we are:

🚨 IN CASE OF MEDICAL CLIMATE EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS 🚨
This morning, medical professionals have broken the windows of @jpmorgan to protest their continued financing of new fossil fuel developments.
This is a peaceful act of civil disobedience. Why?🧵

The next few days bring unprecedented, deadly heat to the UK and the @metoffice has issued its first ever Extreme Heat Red Warning 🚨
Despite these impacts of continued fossil fuel burning and climate breakdown, @jpmorgan is still funding new fossil fuel developments! 2/12

The #ClimateCrisis can't wait, we need to Act Now.
As Dr. @HelenaMckeown, fmr chair of @TheBMA made clear: "The climate emergency is a health emergency - forging a path to net-zero has never been more important". 3/12

Leaving @COP26 with the feeling that this process will not deliver. This was my 22nd COP since COP1 in 1995. Some issues and acronyms have changed - but I could easily recycle my articles from the 90s… The basic flaw lies in the requirement to decide by consensus. See thread ⬇️
The good-willed forces have crippled themselves by tying its fate to the fossil fuel dealers through consensus. They act as if they had something to bargain with, like in disarmament talks - „if you reduce your number of missiles by x, I will do it by y“. See Thread ⬇️
But here the good-willed can offer no deal. Following the disarmament logic those ambitious countries would have to threaten with more emissions from their side. Which would be ridiculous on the one hand and it would not present any real threat - because the fossils don‘t care.⬇️

Bei Tönnies, wird weiter Fleisch in den Kühlhäusern verarbeitet.
Es kann ja nicht der FIRMA zugemutet werden, per Kühltransporter das Fleisch in andere Schlachtbetriebe zur Weiterverarbeitung zu transportieren!
"Warum nicht?"
Fleisch ist nicht ansteckend

Let‘s start this thread with the points we agree on @SasjaBeslik:
1 Global warming is a systemic problem and should be addressed first and foremost on a systemic level. Oil companies, airlines, governments and a profit orientated financial and economic system are responsible for the destruction of our planet and for the injustice related to it.
