Thanks to a generous donation, we're offering 25 annual subscriptions to The Phoenix and our community of climate revolutionaries, for free.

If you'd like one, DM me or send an email to: writeforthephoenix@gmail.com
thephoenix.earth/about/
Our goals at The Phoenix are simple:

1⃣ Shift climate storytelling away from inevitable apocalypse towards the possibility of a better world; towards catastrophic success not catastrophic failure.
2⃣ Build a vision of irresistible justice that puts people at the center and advocates for anti-racism, anti-capitalism, anti-fascism and upholds the truth that we are all integral parts of the same living planet.
3⃣ Share resources and contacts and strategies and dreams with like-minded people working for revolutionary change.
If that sounds something that you'd like to be a part of (and if you'd like the free memberships to go to someone else) become a member today.

We're doing this together, for each other.

Here’s a thread on why financial institutions need to make promises for ZERO Fossil Fuels and not just “net-zero” (by @ZanageeArtis of @ThisIsZeroHour w/ info from @ciel_tweets) (1/7)
There are too many loopholes in net-zero for it to be adequate for climate justice. Net-zero allows companies and banks to shroud their impacts on emissions and continued expansion of fossil fuels @ZanageeArtis @ciel_tweets (2/7)
ciel.org/reports/too-ma…
The “net” in net-zero refers to the idea that while some greenhouse gas emissions continue, natural or artificial sinks absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, resulting in zero overall emissions. @ZanageeArtis @ciel_tweets (3/7)

As world leaders prepare to debate our collective futures at #cop26 in Scotland, I’m proud to publish this personal essay from @ChimikaCha in Chongwe, Zambia.

Water is a fundamental human right. This is what inequality and climate change looks like.

thephoenix.earth/the-chongwe-wa…
@ChimikaCha Southern Zambia, like many places on the frontlines of the climate emergency, has struggled with increasingly erratic rainfall in recent years.

That’s increased the gap between the haves and have-nots down to the neighborhood level in places like Chongwe.
Fiske Nyirongo’s investigated the local scale as water divides her community. "Is there resentment brewing silently between the two groups? Will this town be used one day as an example of what happens when more pronounced inequalities due to climate change are not handled early?"

Just a few more hours left to get 20% off annual membership to @Currently!

We are building a new weather service for the climate emergency — a service that helps you make sense of the changing weather, helps you make decisions for safety & joy, and helps advance climate justice.
Since launching in June with a mission to connect people around the world with personal, human-scale weather & climate context to help everyone survive & thrive in the climate emergency, @currently has expanded to 25 cities across North America & Europe with more on the way.
Our weather newsletters are a window into the kind of meteorological poetry and climate justice that have become a daily companion for thousands of people.

The system isn't broken, it's working exactly how it was made to: to protect the status quo at all costs.

We need fundamental, structural, systemic change. Change on a scale that matches the existential crisis we are in.

At this point, we have no other choice.
I mean this with my whole heart:

Find the people & places & creatures you care most about in this world, join together with them in solidarity, do literally everything you can to support each other for the next 8 years.

If every single one of us does that, it will be enough.

I'm really upset that @TEDCountdown decided to invite fossil fuel CEOs to their kickoff conference for #COP26. And glad this happened to the head of @Shell.

“On a conference about the future of our climate, it is unacceptable to include fossil fuel CEOs.”
gizmodo.com/shell-ceo-roas…
Not only did @TEDCountdown invite the leader of @shell — one of the most-polluting companies in world history, the roster is full of status quo tech bros & people from the global north.

So many worthy voices were left on the sidelines, like @KameaChayne:

We've got to quickly move beyond the status quo, and inviting the same old people isn't the way to get there.

Friday afternoon, no shame:

We're looking for investors at currentlyhq.com — like-minded folks who want to help build an interactive, personal, human weather service for the climate emergency.

DM me for a pitch deck and to chat.

Here's some stats so far:
Old school weather apps are opaque, frustrating, confusing.

At Currently, we’re building “Weather as a Service” — creating on-demand, affordable, custom forecasts to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Subscribers can sign up for our interactive local weather & climate hotline anywhere in North America:

Text 'JOIN' to (833) 861-1130

We’re planning to expand this service worldwide with additional funding.
