solar panels don’t cause massive oil spills. they don’t explode. they don’t poison drinking water. they don't cloud the air with deadly pollution. and they don't collapse the climate. they just sit there, quietly making light into life.

when truth is suspect, power rests with whoever can shout the loudest, or spend the most.
Do not underestimate the role Big Oil played in much of humanity losing their minds
fossil fuels did not just overheat the planet, they destabilised democracies, rewired culture, & poisoned collective thought. dismantling big oil is not just a climate fight, it is a fight for sanity

Protestors in Nepal overthrew the government in less than 48 hours due to corruption. They refused a curfew, spread protests across all cities, fought police in roaming street battles, burnt down politicians' houses, stole military weapons, stormed the parliament & burnt it, forced the PM to resign.

I think I would take reactionary centrists more seriously if they could cite one (1) example of progressives pushing for social change the *right* way -- using just the right slogans, supporting just the right policies, protesting in just the right fashion.

not sure if many people understand how difficult it is to try and effectively communicate the death of our living world, to millions of people, to then be ridiculed, mocked, violently threatened, digitally harassed, underpaid, chronically stressed, criticised and...

Indonesia, the world’s fourth most populous country, just announced a massive solar push, aiming to light up villages with small solar-and-battery microgrids alongside bigger solar farms.

beautiful! an Australian NGO has released 147 brush-tailed bettongs! these squirrel-sized marsupials are vital ecosystem engineers, digging fungi and enriching soils. drawn from a thriving predator-free population of over 1,000, they’re now going “beyond the fence.”

"climate scientists are protesting as their research shows we are only years away from complete collapse" could be a headline every single day and yet the billionaire press continues to hide the truth. their silence is complicity.

I'll never forget when the Climate Minister told me "I live in the real world, and we can't just make things happen overnight" and then a few weeks later his party passed a law, *overnight*, making climate activists face more severe punishments than someone committing real crimes

you can say whatever you want, but the reality is that without drastically reducing animal agriculture, our planet's climate will collapse
that's not some woke nonsense, that's the cold hard scientific fact
we are putting burgers ahead of our future

one of the more difficult things to come around to is that for my whole life, I have been told that it is China that is destroying the climate, and now, we are seeing China lead the world towards a rapid transition to clean energy

Pope Leo is turning out to be just as much of a green pope as Francis. Why do we care? Because he leads 1.4 billion Catholics and has nearly as big a platform as the anti-climate "president" of 340 million Americans.

Should we send politicians to prison for climate crimes? New data shows the overwhelming majority of the public think so.

if your country is cracking down on activists whilst protecting corporations, please know that this is absolutely what the rise of fascism looks like and you should be doing all you can to remove them... or else one day, you will wake up and realise that you have become their next target.

after decades legal wins, faux-fur innovation, and tireless activism, the number of animals farmed for fur has fallen from over 140 million in 2014 to 20.5 million in 2024. minks, foxes, chinchillas and raccoon dogs are spared unimaginable cruelty.

how cool is this - young aspen trees are flourishing in Yellowstone thanks to wolves!! since their reintroduction, elk numbers have dropped and overgrazing has eased, allowing aspens to grow tall again. a living reminder that when predators return, entire ecosystems can heal.

another win! fossil fuels now power less than half of the Netherlands' electricity, down from over 80% in 2018. since the 2019 climate accord, wind and solar have soared from 14% to 45% of the grid. proof that political will and public pressure can transform an energy system in just a few years.

just a friendly reminder that every tree cut, every river poisoned, every coral reef bleached is a crime scene and the criminals wear suits.
