Confessions of an #ExtinctionRebellion 'extremist' THREAD
This time last year I wasn't fussed about climate change.
I learnt enough science at school to know about the greenhouse gas effect and understood the planet is warming.
I thought we were sorting it...
I recycled 🙅♀️

I remember seeing a friend,@samjknights involved with #ExtinctionRebellion
I thought he had completely lost the plot.
(sorry Sam)
I'm a medical student, I read scientific papers all the time.
If the science was telling us there was an emergency surely I'd already know?

On holiday, on a remote beach, I'd run out of books on my kindle.
Except one.
I'd downloaded it a while ago but wasn't very interested: The Uninhabitable Earth by @dwallacewells

This morning on @RNBreakfast, Craig Kelly repeated the false claim (first made by the PM) that Australia ranks 1st globally per capita on renewable energy investment, which is both misleading and incorrect. #AustraliaIsBurning #auspol

@RNBreakfast 1/ Analysis of the data provided by the Department of Energy in support of the Prime Minister’s claim shows Australia is not 1st but 3rd among just 23 countries for clean energy investment per capita
@RNBreakfast 2/ Looking at just the year 2018, the Department of Energy admits Australia is actually only second -- not first -- when it comes to 2018 renewable energy investment per capita, among a select group of 30 countries, not the whole world.

Your timely reminder that a politician's business is not 'problem solving', it's 'risk aversion'.

That's why you see them sit idly by when issues persist - because even though they might be able to solve a problem, if doing so poses a risk, they will always choose inaction.
We see it with their approach to social and economic issues consistently.
We see it in how they call for Royal Commissions when issues come to the forefront - not because Royal Commissions solve things, but because they avert and divert the sense of risk.
