1/ The wildfires have caused us all to be reminded of the consequences of maintaining biollionaires. If that in itself is not reason enough for you to get active, maybe this background info will help
2/ 🔥 16 of the 20 most destructive wildifres in Californian (CA) history have occured in the last 10 years. And 19 of 20 since 2003. Image
3/ 🗺️ 5 times more area is now burned on average in CA than in the early 1970's. Nearly all of this is attributable to climate warming caused by oil, gas and coal companies. Image

We must stop fossil companies.

Deadly wildfires in winter! This is what climate change looks like. Five people dead and over two thousand buildings burned in out of control fires ravaging Los Angeles.
1/6
Very wet conditions in early 2024 promoted vegetation growth. But this was followed by record heat in the summer of 2024 in California. The dry conditions prevailed through the autumn with dry vegetation persisting.
2/6
The dry conditions occurred in combination with a severe Santa Ana Wind event with many stations in Los Angeles recording 70 mph (112 km/hr) winds.

0/ ✨🌱 We wish you a peaceful Christmas! Capitalism does not...here are some info bombs:

1💣 The weapon’s industry doesn’t care about any alliances, it only cares about profit.

“For four out of the five permanent members of the [U.N.] Security Council to top global arms sales that fuel wars around the globe is hypocritical, complicit and immoral” Oxfam International Image
Image
Image
2/ U.S. arms sales to foreign countries is more than $200 billion, mostly to countries that the U.S. condemns as anti-democratic monarchies - Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,... and other types of monarchies, including the U.K., the Netherlands,... and apartheid countries like Israel. Image

1/ 🌱 IS THIS THE WEEK WE FINALLY EXPLAIN HOW MODERN MONETARY THEORY AND DEGROWTH TRANSITION GO HAND IN HAND? Let’s bust some mo’ myths!

@growthkills
#DegrowthNow #BeyondGrowth #DegrowthTuesdayTeaBreak Image
Image
2/ It is common to hear myths that are apologetic in favor of infinite economic growth like “The job market is so competitive, more growth needed to create more jobs!” “ Taxes on the rich will kill jobs” while the financial broker dude believes “My job is crucial and important!” Image
3Economic growth doesn’t mean mo’ jobs! Mainstream economics posits that employment opportunities & incomes are determined by technical aspects of production, and thus the only way to alleviate poverty is to grow GDP. Then why are millions of people, who want to work, unemployed? Image

COP 29 is a fossil fuel scam

For 30 years the UN COP Climate Conferences have failed to deliver meaningful change. They have served as a ‘talking shop’ with the big polluters given seats at the top table to cast doubt over the sciences and delay meaningful action.
1/12 Image
This November’s COP29 event opens under the same bad auspices of last year. A petro-state – Azerbaijan - once again assumes the COP Presidency.
2/12 Image
COP29 president Mukhtar Bahadur is once again an oil executive, having worked in various roles for the Azerbaijan state-owned oil company SOCAR since the 1990s. Putting oil executives in charge is nothing short of a sham that undermines our inability to fight back.

Lancet report confirms what Palestinian voices have always said: this is a genocide.
On July 5th, 2024 a report appeared in @TheLancet highlighting how the horrifying number of 40k slaughtered Palestinians is heavily underestimated.
🧵
1/8 Image
Using the conservative estimate from the secretariat of the Geneva Convention of 4 indirect deaths per reported death the authors estimated 186 000 assassinations attributable to the current genocide in Gaza.
2/8
The number is close to the lower bound of the estimate by Palestinian author Susan Abulhawa, who reported a fork of 194,768-511,824 people, counting direct killings, starvation, and diseases.
