A failure of historic proportions, plus further indication that the system as it is will not disrupt itself.

I'm on my way home from #COP26, full of frustration and fury after reading the draft declaration. The world's powerful governments propose to do more to defend the fossil fuel industry than to defend life on Earth.

We don’t have till 2050, we don’t have time for the corrupt to get their last bit of profit, we must stand as one & save our future. We have the will, we have the technology, we even have the numbers, all we need now is ACTION. I’m ready when you are! #ClimateCrisis #WaterIsLife

Failure is on your part for not seeing the grift. If you took 1% of the time you use to emote to actually dissect the issues, you'd be so much better off.

Fossil fuel companies take their taxpayer subsidies and use it to bribe our politicians for an increase in subsidies and to look the other way as they burn our planet to the ground.

I recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry for the Future" at every opportunity bc it's a novel full of inspirational tactics to affect change. Is failing to take direct action in the closing window of opportunity equivalent to murder of people in future?

Boycotts strikes & protests or subjugation that's the choice

On the contrary, sweetheart, the system IS disrupting itself by it's very procedures (self-sabotaging by definition); the next 6-12 months all but promises to bear this out spectacularly.

These are not failures, Marianne. They're deliberate murderous actions.

This was obvious after @AbbyMartin’s pointed question about the military This is why we’re going to need a general strike. Time has run out and the electeds in this country and around the world simply do not care about the future
