Wow, @GeorgeMonbiot tells us protest for climate is the most important thing we can do. Let's go at it!

UK Government to China: Respect media freedom and the right to protest! Also UK Government: Arrests journalists during protests and sentences nonviolent protestors to 6 months in prison. See below for 2 quick examples 🧵

As we removed the rubbish, something unexpected & somewhat miraculous happened: the river started to flow again! It was previously hard to imagine this muddy ditch full of rubbish as a river again, but as the silt settled, you could see clear flowing natural water

It's got so bad that conservation of the status quo is completely unrealistic. Survival ecology is a more realistic but tough and heartbreaking goal. This means a shift to focus on preserving basic ecosystems, rather than species, is the best we can hope to do 😭

Told to us like it is

This is a *HUGE* freaking deal: Congress has obtained documents that show Big Oil companies actively lying about their climate commitments and coordinating to downplay their support for the Paris Agreement. That's fraud. A quick 🧵 https://t.co/OOA9Tez2R9

Peacefully protest? End up in jail. Make £170,000,000,000 profit while knowingly killing millions & driving the habitability of the planet to a point of no return? Feel free to carry on, we won’t even ask you to help clear up the mess.

Not even representing their own voters... What's the reason for that?
