Here is the text of @GretaThunberg’s statement explaining why she is refusing the Nordic Council’s Environmental Prize.

This girl is so badass. She sees that the award is a way for Scandinavia to uphold its environmental reputation but in fact continue to do nothing. 🔥

A game-changing new campaign envisioned by ⁦@billmckibben⁩, so obvious and powerful now that he’s seen it: TARGET THE BANKS FUNDING THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

[thread] newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
“So what would happen if, tomorrow, Chase [the biggest funder] announced that it was going to phase out lending to the fossil-fuel industry?” asks McKibben.

“‘Wells Fargo and Citi would follow within days,’according to Tim Buckley, a former managing director at Citi.”

😍✨

“In fact [Buckley continued], ‘they’d look to go one step further, so as to pretend they weren’t really sheep. And this would have global ramifications—the music would stop, very suddenly.’”

😮

There are many problems w the @NewYorker Franzen climate piece. Here are three:

1) It distorts the science.
2) It's completely apolitical.
3) It contradicts itself: is the apocalypse coming or should we all start local farmers markets?

THREAD

@NewYorker First: the science.

Franzen claims that climate change will spin "completely out of control" if the planet heats to somwhere around 2°C.

This is flat-out wrong.

2/n
@NewYorker According to @helixclimate, the EU agency tasked with studying climate impacts from 1.5° to 6°C, the "tipping points" that cause global heating to spin out of control happen at solidly higher temperatures.

@GlobalEcoGuy @keya_chatterjee @MichaelEMann @Peters_Glen Hi Jon,

my apologies for taking so long to reply to your question. I was solo-parenting today.

Anyhow, I have a very long answer for you. One of these days I should write something about this, but for now lots of tweets...
@GlobalEcoGuy @keya_chatterjee @MichaelEMann @Peters_Glen I think you're right that aviation has become a domain for virtue signaling. But also I think it still encapsulates real issues that the climate movement must grapple with.

2/n
@GlobalEcoGuy @keya_chatterjee @MichaelEMann @Peters_Glen I think there are two different contexts in which to consider these issues. The first is that of the climate movement. What should be expected from people who publicly declare that we must stop emitting GHGs and who try to move our culture and politics to that goal?

Luciferian/satanic/MKultra Programming Evidence spanning 44 years, worldwide.
No, I am NOT signalling the no.44; it is simply the math at present. Consider SRA programming for me began at age 2yrs. (Illum. Family Lines age 2-3yrs)...
I'd like to point out both the subtle and overt body language. Long hair parted in the middle is demanded of teen girls if "Lilith" goddess is to be honored. Check.
Head tilt slightly downward, tight, half smile. Check. Obedience to Master.
Locked arm position. "In the presence..
of my Master". THEY demand RESPECT and OBEDIENCE. You do or you die.
This body language is taught through trauma-based operant conditioning.
Luciferian Language is based on body language, signs, symbols, colors, numbers, Gematria, etc...
Their children MUST learn this language.

#GretaThunberg #Savonarole une expérience est fascinante quand on est prof d’histoire 👇
je ne sais plus qui a dit que faire de l’histoire c’est comme explorer une terre exotique, il faut sans cesse expliquer à l’auditoire des choses qui ne sont plus compréhensibles aujourd’hui et mettre en garde contre les rapprochements hasardeux avec le présent (anachronisme)
de ce point de vue, l’historien est une sorte d’ethnologue du passé 🤗 et concrètement, en cours, on peut passer vite sur des phénomènes qui restent intelligibles et devoir s’attarder sur d’autres qui nous paraissent étranges voire « étrangers »

Next Wednesday @CityofVancouver staff report back to #Council on ramping up our #ClimateAction, in line with the #IPCC science and in response to the #ClimateEmergency. Here’s my breakdown of the recommendations 👇
This #ClimateEmergency report outlines 6 Big Moves for Council to direct staff to pursue & come back w. comprehensive/costed plans. Plus 53 Accelerated Actions to move on now. The targets are strong & won’t be easy. This is what governing in line with the science looks like.
Big Move 1: By 2030, 90% of people will live within an easy walk/roll of their daily needs (we’re at 45%). Focused on land-use & complete n'hoods, it would ⬇️ 153,000 tonnes carbon/year, while creating ⬆️ housing choices, ⬆️ social interaction, and supporting local businesses.

#GretaThunberg è vittima della solita propaganda infondata che sommerge i bambini europei.

Il suo impegno, ad ogni modo, conferma che il cambiamento climatico interessa solamente agli Europei, che ironicamente sono quelli che meno vi contribuiscono.

(2) Analizziamo un diagramma sull'impronta del CO₂.
Se anche una persona smettesse di guidare qualsiasi autovettura, ridurrebbe le emissioni di carbonio di appena 2.4 ton/anno.
Avendo un bambino in meno, le emissioni si ridurrebbero di ben 58.6 ton/anno
(3) Gli Stati europei (quelli a cui importa del cambiamento climatico) stanno attraversando una gravissima fase di diminuzione del tasso di fertilità. Una popolazione è stabile quando ogni famiglia mette al mondo almeno due figli, il tasso di fertilità delle donne europee è:

Here is why Cynthia Erivo, in particular, should not play Harriet Tubman.

TL; DR: There’s a troubling pattern of Cynthia repeatedly, deliberately, selectively *choosing* to not give respect to African-American heritage – the heritage of Harriet Tubman.
#HarrietDeservesBetter
Note: There’s an argument to be made against Africans/non-DOS Brits playing important African-American figures – & vice versa. Performance & perspective, where & how we take up space, larger economic & cultural issues at play.

Others have unpacked that; this thread won’t.
This thread is about why Cynthia Erivo should not play Harriet Tubman, “the Moses of her people” & a sacred African-American ancestor. It goes beyond Cynthia’s birthplace, accent, heritage & even her association with an ethnic bigot.

It rests on a pattern of behavior & choices.

Foreign Ministry 🇸🇦
@KSAmofaEN
#Statement | The negative and surprising attitude of #Canada is an entirely false claim and utterly incorrect.
#Statement | We have been briefed by what the #Canadian foreign minister and the Canadian embassy to the #Kingdom released on what they named "civil society rights activists", and we affirm that this negative and surprising attitude is an incorrect claim.
#Statement | The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia and is in contravention of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing relations between States.
