Please share this with everyone who is sinking into desperation:

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT URGENT.

It was urgent in the 60s, 70, 80s, and 90s. Now, tens of millions of people are ALREADY dying every year and species are going extinct at an unprecedented rate due to #ClimateCrisis

and all the interlocking ecological and social crises. The institutions sharing this narrative of urgency are the ones who did not take valid actions when there was still time, who even criminalized such actions while profiting off false solutions.

The reason they talk urgency now is not because they care about all the poor and racialized people who are dying or the unique habitats being lost, it's because they are afraid of losing power. They admit this quite clearly at Davos, at NATO summits, in their financial journals.

No matter what happens now, we will have to deal with a convulsive, sometimes deadly biosphere for the foreseeable future, maybe the next 5 generations, maybe the next 50.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is not to find the quickest, easiest bandaid solution, but to find the best solution for the long haul. This means totally dismantling the system and the mentality responsible.

THIS is what has green capitalists like Elon Musk, the millionaire CEOs of the environmental NGOs, state leaders, scientists of the leading technocratic institutions, and the cheerleaders of white supremacist western civilization so afraid. It means a world without them.

Our most urgent duty is to take care of one another, to help one another survive. This includes our bioregions and the other living things around us.

And the next most important thing is to make sure those responsible will never be able to harm anyone ever again.

Whether that means destroying the institutions that give them power, making sure that their names live on in infamy as the most evil people to ever walk the face of the earth, or hunting them down in their doomsday bunkers, time will tell.
