2022 OxFam study found that wealthiest individuals’ investments account for up to 70% of their emissions, producing an average of 3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per person, per year. This is a million times higher than the average 2.76 tons of CO2 for those living in the bottom 90%.

Hey folks - after seven months of chasing, I've run out of options in trying to resolve a customer service issue with #BritishAirways, and I've decided to really escalate it. Does anyone out there know #SeanDoyle, CEO of BA, and if so, could you make an introduction? Thank you!

You will know when you fly in to the town where I live.
It will be the one with a boycott and protest signs in front of the venue, with the details of your flights back and forth across the country, and how you contribute 1000 times more to the #ClimateCrisis than ordinary human beings on this planet.

Have you mentioned #Gaza even once yet, in all this time?

Hold still, Climate Change.
Please just let me live my life.
Let loose on my kids.

It’s a very sad day as a good friend and absolutely top bloke (who is in his 70s) has been sentenced to 26 months behind bars (for which he must serve 40%) and costs of £4380 for peacefully protesting to end new #fossilfuel projects.

He was denied all legal defences during the trial, including the statutory defence of ‘reasonable excuse’, as well as the defences of necessity, Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on #HumanRights, and implied consent.

The prosecution refused to agree to any facts on the #ClimateCrisis to be included in evidence.

He will also now lose his long held position as a Green councillor.

We’ve known for a long time that the world is fucked but this hurts.

Can we just park this? Our current government seems hell-bent on dumping the downsides of global warming on our children. #cartoon sketch concept ...thoughts? #wip #environment #climatecrisis #nzpol #uspol
