First off, this article misses a key “expert” perspective:

THE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE SAYING WE NEED TO RADICALLY TRANSFORM EVERY ASPECT OF OUR ECONOMY IN THE NEXT DECADE IF WE WANT EVEN A 50% CHANCE OF AVERTING CATOSTROPHIC CLIMATE CRISIS

A thread🧵
nytimes.com/2019/11/14/cli…
As someone who spends almost all of his time straddling policy experts, political strategists, & social movements…I’m incredibly disappointed but not surprised by this article.

Every👏 Damn👏 Day👏 I am told by some well meaning person that we need to be reasonable & measured…
Where has “reasonable & measured” gotten us in the last 40 years?

It’s gotten us to the point of societal extinction. Now is the time to demand what we need, not what we think might be feasible.

“Possible” is just a word used to constrain our imaginations and hold back change.
Fossi fuel CEOs didn’t hold back for fear of it being “impossible” for them to get away with cooking the planet for decades.

We need to be as relentless as our opponents.

Social movements are the “experts” of making the “impossible” inevitable. We’re gonna win a #GreenNewDeal.
