        1. "I feel we perhaps have a 1% chance of avoiding collapse of our systems." When does The Guardian go into civil resistance over new oil and gas? When 50 million die, 500 million die, 1 billion die? juststopoil.org/get-involved/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/β¦
        
        
        
        
        Socialist visions of technology should be empirically grounded, ecologically coherent, and socially just. They should emphatically not rely on magical thinking, or perpetuate colonial inequalities. Green growth visions fall foul of these core values. monthlyreview.org/2023/07/01/on-β¦
        'The super-rich have, for far too long, had a free pass to pollute our planet. For our own safety, we must find ways to limit the harm they cause'. We must #MakeThemPay! Dr.Kendall of Health for XR protests at London City Airport. #BanPrivateJets #EndAirportExpansion

        Wake up every morning. Say to yourself l "I do not consent to the destruction of life on earth." It only takes 25% of the population to enact social tipping points. 25% to flip the system. In that I find hope in the #ClimateBreakdown meme quote George Monbiot
                        
                    
                    
                    
                
        1.π§΅SATURDAY LONG TWEET I asked earlier in the week what is deeply embarrassing about this article. And more importantly, I guess about how people of the middle class urban "left" probably read it without even seeing the myopic privilege that it displays. theguardian.com/commentisfree/β¦
