Message #1 for #G7

Science facts are useful
The planet’s on fucking fire
There are a lot of things we could do to put it out
Are any of them free?
No, of course not
Nothing’s free, you idiots. Grow the fuck up.

Message #2 for #G7
Imagine the planet was suffering its own #Coronavirus #pandemic

Imagine we responded to the #climateemergency like it might be life threatening to us all

The Earth has more than a fever

Our house is on fire

We are the cause

We can also fix it
Message #3 for #G7

Are you mature enough to tell it like it is?
@GretaThunberg
Listen: most important 2 minutes you have today
And for the rest of your life
And our lives

If you are also mature enough to act

Let's act on climate breakdown and world militarization.
We can.
We must.

Message #5 for #G7
We can do this
Understanding the past helps us anticipate the future
Evidence is clear: we’re massively underestimating how quickly renewables and clean technology can be adopted
Tackling climate change is possible in a renewable future
Message #6 for #G7
The world owes thanks to #Germany for making electricity from sunshine commercially available to the world
And to #China for scaling manufacturing to make #solar commercially the cheapest way to build new energy generation in the world

Message #7 for #G7
Ambition is a dish best served now
Avoid post-mortem target
2050 is for most things a "post-mortem target" a mediocre promise to get job done after you've retired, or expired
2 decades sufficient time: act as if its a global pandemic
Germany made manufacturing of solar cheap by developing tech and building the industry - and deploying when solar still expensive
China utilised mostly German tech to massively scale and make solar panels at volume which has reduced the price for the world
