#climatechange
Fun exercise...
The next time you hear someone use the phrase "climate change", feel free to ask: "do you mean the ascertainable 'ecocide' perpetrated by a handful of money-grubbing, psychopathic corporate entities and state actors, who are preying on the planet's demise and the extinction of its inhabitants for purposes of power and profit while denying its very existence and shifting the burden and blame onto the end user / consumer / victims? That 'climate change?'"
Just wanna make sure we're operationally defining our terms here.

We have the technology to fight #climatechange. But #NIMBY-ism stands in the way.
"One of the biggest obstacles that the United States faces in its fight against climate change is getting renewable energy to the places that need the most electricity.
Many of the best locations for wind and solar farms are, by their very nature, remote."

Hey Digit, why don't you talk about #climatechange?
Same way I don't talk about #globalists / #globalism.
These are contorted terms, language of the oppressor.
They want you using these terms because it deprives you of remedy, and traps you into throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Climate Crisis by Maggie Ena
https://songwhip.com/maggieena/climate-crisis
When the well is dry
Where will you turn
And which of your family
Are you gonna watch burn
No history books for you
To be on the wrong side of
What will be the meaning of
Your monetary triumph
While we all, have to pay
It's not far away
The people who deny
Yeah they know that it's a lie
They hope you buy what they are faking
The private jets they fly
All the solutions they won't try
Still here is what they're saying
"Let's keep mining coal" as if
It's saving those towns
I'm not blaming those towns
Why should we save our home?
Because when it goes down
We'll all go down
Yeah we'll all go down
#UK ‘used to be a leader on #climate’, lament European lawmakers
MEPs react to ‘tragic’ findings revealing UK falling behind #EU in key environmental policies since #Brexit
Since Brexit, the UK has weakened its #environment rules in key policy areas, from chemicals to climate. Among other measures, the EU has done more than the UK to ban harmful pesticides and substances, tax carbon emissions on imported goods, regulate batteries, and clean the air.
The two economies are expected to grow further apart in environmental ambition as the EU brings in new rules on industrial emissions, outdoor air quality, critical raw materials, water treatment, and electrical waste recycling.
Irish MEP with the Green group Grace O’Sullivan highlighted the UK’s worsening #water quality standards as a “particularly troubling” example of #divergence. “In Ireland, where previous governments have failed to prioritise the environment, EU legislation like this was instrumental in obliging the government to act to protect its own people from poor water treatment practices.”
She added: “Both British and Irish people will bear the brunt of the UK government’s poor environmental record, as the recent collapse in water quality in Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh demonstrated.”
