~30,000 people fled the #MarshallFire, one of the most terrifying experiences we can face. Today I am reflecting on the added anxiety and consequences of fleeing a #climatemergency disaster during the COVID pandemic. Here I'll share a personal story w/ a tiny bit of insight. 1/
Just outside Boulder, circa January 2021
Normally I love the sound of wind in the trees. But the winds were howling that day. It was difficult to ignore. The house was groaning, shifting. We were in full lockdown due to COVID-19. I was trying to stay busy. 2/

My children were playing outside. Mommy I smell smoke...
At first I didn't smell anything. It was a red flag day. Everyone needed to be careful. But then I smelled it and we saw flames down the road. That is our only way out. What happened next was a blur. 3/

@KarlHeinzHasliP It's precisely bc I know how little money flows debt-free. And why it has failed: bc of sick neoclassic and voluntarianism. Here's an introduction into #climatefinance carbonbrief.org/interactive-ho… Lax definitions even allow for coal power plants to be built.
@KarlHeinzHasliP That most of the money flows as loans is hilarious, given the carbon debt the rich nations have piled up. #Equity oecd.org/dac/financing-… Throwing money at the problem is only 1 part. Nations must be able to spend it, too, eg have manpower. So it might be, €5bn/a can't be spent.
@KarlHeinzHasliP Eg, in a project in Tanzania, 1m new traintracks cost about USD300 (🇩🇪2000), which already includes the 🚆, go figure. Ofc, the vast USD difference has to do with established corruption levels in🇩🇪. But manpower cost shd be much lower in our target states. allafrica.com/stories/202010…
