A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights:
1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

This week we’ve been meeting MPs to call for an end to all new oil and gas extraction, starting with Rosebank.
We need everybody’s voices on this including families from across the UK. For our kids. For everyone.

This is maddening. We need to renationalize.
Thames Water's £3 billion loan will include £898 million in consultancy fees and interest payments.
And they plan on forcing customers to pay for it.
We can't keep rewarding them for failure. Public ownership of our water is the only option.

What headline captures the abject stupidity of our historical moment better than "Rainforest Felled to Build Road for Climate Summit"?
On top of total capture of COP by the fossil fuel industry, we now have "Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit."
At what point do we acknowledge what is now plainly obvious: that this is not the solution, but a big part of the problem, a coverup for BAU?

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year.
Mainly people escaping Balkan wars.
Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers.
