Technology alone won't save us. We need a new economic approach. #ClimateCrisis
"Fact is: rich countries today still look like see-saws: when GDP goes up, nature goes down. The real question is: which one do you really want to save?" – Timothee Parrique "If we want to catch the last train home, we're gonna have to run. Not just run, spring for our lives. If you break into a slow jog, we're going to miss that rain. And that train is the stability of the climate, which will undermine all of our lives irrevocably into the future." – Kate Haworth "Our job is nothing less than to unravel the systematic distortions of value that lie at the core of a broken capitalism. And to begin to construct an economy of care, craft, and creativity fit for purpose on a finite planet." – Tim Jackson "Millionaires alone are on track to burn 72% of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5 degrees. This is an egregious assault on humanity and the living world and none of us should accept it. We need to realize that it is irrational and unjust for us to continue devoting our energy and resources to support an overconsuming elite in the middle of a climate emergency." – Jason Hickel
