What will historians think of this moment, when fossil fuelled heatwaves and other climate disasters are wrecking tens of millions of lives while oil and gas companies still plan new drilling and pipelines.
Pure unfettered greed, madness on a globally calamitous scale.
@greenpeace If we still haven't gone extinct in the year 2500, there won't be any historians, or any complex civilisations whatsoever, because there won't be enough humans on the entire planet for that. Just a few million humans in total, maybe even less than a million, getting by as nomadic tribes in those regions that still support human life. And the storytellers will tell tales of the mad people of the past who thought they could live outside the real world, building artificial worlds known as cities, while their machines ate all the living things.
not as bad as WWII, the Soviet Gulag, the European treatment of indigenous peoples, etc etc
heck the Romans would routinely kill or enslave the entire population of conquered cities
@greenpeace
They are not getting strong enough signals to stop…
”Fossil fuels, which were for long so beneficial to humanity, have to be recognised as poisons. And petroleum companies must pay for backtracking on their promises and putting shareholder dividends ahead of planetary health and human wellbeing.”

Make oil, coal and gas corporations pay their fair share for the damage they cause.
Introduce new taxes or fines on them to help communities at home and around the world rebuild from climate disasters and invest in climate solutions.

@greenpeace How did we arrive at "GreenHope"? - because it originates in faith, hope and charity: either, in a nuclear age, you feel free to use any religious law or perhaps you are still respectful, reverential, of approach, supplication etc.
