Klein: "It is, first & foremost, about blocking a real #GreenNewDeal, which most assuredly would not have the support of BP, Mastercard, the #Prince of #Wales, & all of the other #GreatReset partners."
Guess again. We mean Business/ Prince of Wales's Corporate Leaders Group. 👇
"While the #behavioural change tactics used by Avaaz are on public display, [], for-profit Purpose, w/ its non-profit arm, sells their expertise behind the scenes to further the interest of #hegemony & #capital." #GND#C40
Nov 2020: C40 Cities, Global Covenant of Mayors & CDP announced new partnership leading up to COP26.
"Mayors, from cities of any size & location, signing up to the Race to Zero campaign will:"
"endorse the green recovery principles of the Global Green New Deal" #SmartCities
To roll-out #smartcities, mayors had to be brought into the fold. The Global Covenant of Mayors (merger of Compact of Mayors & Covenant of Mayors) unites 9,209 cities in 132 states across 6 continents. This is the world’s largest coalition.
& "The Future We Choose" - is the future they chose long ago.
"Social license is being harvested to #reset the capitalist system – under the guise of a climate emergency & saving the planet. This we know: the #planet will not be saved by those that have destroyed it."
Joining AOC, serving as a keynote for the C40 Cities Global #GreenNewDeal launch/summit, were Al Gore & Vandana #Shiva.
Al Gore, (Financialization of Nature w/ #WEF & #WWF) C40 keynote - on #Inequality: "you always want a little":
#Clinton Found, Sept 27, 2007: “Working w/ partners 1Sky will raise $50 million..." In 2011 1Sky officially merged w/350 (#Rockefeller) & Klein would choose to serve its board of directors.
The Increasing Vogue for Capitalist-Friendly Climate Discourse:
Sept 29, 2022: The Biden admin. [] is troubled by the possibility of Ben Gvir, who heads the far-right Otzma Yehudit, becoming a minister in the [] Israeli Gvt... "it is like the Ku Klux Klan in the Israeli gvt... We won't be able to defend this" #Optics
Dec 15, 2022: "Joint Statement of the Government of the #USA & the Govt of #Australia on Cooperation on Natural Capital Accounting, Environmental- Economic Accounting, & Related Statistics"
Decades in devt. Three yrs to obtain social license.
Sept 19, 2019: "In addition to the rapid decarbonization of the energy, industrial & transport sectors, the emergency response must include a major investment in #naturebasedsolution."
Nature4Climate: a coalition of 20 orgs including #WWF (bears responsibility for murder, rape & torture of Indigenous peoples) & We Mean Business, co-founded by The Climate Group. Key person Callum Grieve, marketing expert, behind Greta machine from day 1. nature4climate.org/about/
"... because the #Southern part of the world has value far greater than large elements of the Northern []. And we start thinking about & putting prices on water, on trees, on #biodiversity, we find, where does that sit?"
/2: "I'm doing a lot of work out of #Asia and I say that my next door neighbor Indonesia is the left lung of the world, and obviously #Brazil is the right. And #Africa - absolutely critical."
/3: "And #Africa - absolutely critical - and we need their natural capital as a system-based world more than we need that 66 billion we've got sitting in the basement of the Bank of England."
"...set in the near future [] epidemic [] spread[s] rapidly, [] w/ a higher fatality rate than #COVID19 & disproportionately affecting children & young people."
To my knowledge, there is only a video of "highlights" that has been released to the public. Regardless, the high-level /real discussions take place behind closed doors.
Apologies for not finishing thread last night-listened until I fell asleep. When those that oppress us, that allow our air, water, soil, food, bodies, to be poisoned & commodified, claim that global #health is now their top priority - be wary. Be ready.
Al Gore (#WEF trustee) et al. are SO CONCERNED about the climate, that they in the process of turning all of #nature into a new asset class – where they will OWN nature, manage/control nature, & profit from nature (via "Natural Asset Companies").
Of course, this has nothing to do w/ Gore's Generation Investment (#hedgefund co-founded w/ David Blood from Goldman Sachs), #BlackRock, saving capitalism, or the expansion of #privatization. Rather, it's to save the planet.
The $4,000 trillion #climate wealth opportunity.

David Blood to Mark Carney (TCFD/TNFD, #UN Special Envoy for #Climate), 2021:
"We know that #NaturalClimateSolutions are a critical part of the transition to #NetZero & we've known this for quite some time. Why is it so difficult for us in finance [] to put a value on nature?"
The realization that such an image is now collectively processed/understood as an impressive example of "#sustainability", amongst many who consider themselves ecologically aware, or even "left", is both terrifying & revealing at once.
"Per capita figures show that Indian people actually contribute relatively very little to the problem. While the average American emits 14.7 tons of CO2 a year, an Indian person emits around 1.8."
What's worse, such "solutions" are not displacing fossil fuels. A digitized economy drives expansion of hyperscale #datacenters. "Hyperscalers" such as #Amazon gloss over their massive energy consumption by securing renewable-power purchase agreements.⬇️
