How are you, my dear readers? I hope you are well and ready to fight for your life!
This morning I saw a post by Greta Thunberg on Instagram, and I think she is right.
The biggest threat to our lives isn’t Trump, Brexit, Putin or this virus.
The biggest threat to our lives is the climate crisis, and neither the media nor our governments talk about it at the urgency it needs.
Nor does anyone do near enough to change the course of our extinction.
Maybe my approach so far was wrong. Perhaps it is time to raise the alarm bells daily, so we wake up and see what’s coming.
The real threat baby
Is known for years and decades
God, what have we done?
Find out more about the crisis and what you can do here.
Extinction Rebellion Demands
1. Tell the truth.
Governments must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
2. Act now.
Governments must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
3. Beyond politics.
Governments must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
Thanks my dears, for staying with me until the end. I appreciate your presence. Please stay safe, stay kind and remember that you rock.
We can save this planet & ourselves!

Unfortunately, Bee, you are 100% right. It is climate change that’s the biggest threat. Australia burned for weeks this year and now the US is burning and yet few people acknowledge the root of the crisis.

What worries me is that so many measures to battle climate change affect poor people negatively in terms of what they need to buy or update. (For example, emissions tests can wind up very expensive when you have an old car and can’t get a new one.) What steps do you think can be taken to move forward on the climate issue without making hardships?

I doubt there is a way. The only way I can see is use less, re-use and put pressure on the governments. Climate crisis is also a crisis of our society. We live in an unfair, toxic society where money counts more than human life. Unless we change the system, the poor will always pay (https://youtu.be/QjiKLKg_8xc).
I believe the idea of citizen’s assemblies ( https://youtu.be/SP0p1OIsIMQ) where we all take responsibility for our society is a way forward to make the necessary changes. But it will be hard. We have to face the facts 😓

Yes you’re completely right. Everything is about money.
