How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire is a nonfiction book written by Andreas Malm and published in 2021 by Verso Books. In the book, Malm argues that sabotage is a logical form of climate activism, and criticizes both pacifism within the climate movement and "climate fatalism" outside it. The book inspired a film of the same name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Blow_Up_a_Pipeline

The #science of what action has to happen to solve #ClimateChange

Quickly reducing anthropogenic Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GGE)

Urgently:

1. End the burning of carbon based fuels (wood, coal, gas, crude oil derivatives such as kerosene, diesel & petrol) as burning carbon emits harmful (AKA toxic) air pollution.

2. A global ecological restoration project (#rewilding ) will sequester historic, present & future GGE & massively reduce the methane emissions caused by grazing farm animals.

#ClimateAction

Reducing meat consumption is nearly always better, to reduce your #carbon footprint (therefore, no meat is even better)

Most of our #food emissions come from processes on the farm, or from land use change. https://ourworldindata.org/less-meat-or-sustainable-meat

One of the best choices an individual can make to mitigate #ClimateChange is to not buy animal part products #EndTheMeatIndustry

Buying #meat is funding one of the most ecologically degrading, polluting, cruel & #greenwashing industries on the planet

There is a certain satisfaction in blocking explicit racists. Rather than giving them the attention they so desire.

@georgetakei

The liberal (not the ridiculously named neoliberal) should float an amendment to lower the voting age to 16.

Or perhaps the actual age of maturity of Trump, 8-year-olds ;)

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @georgetakei

Well, lets look at the facts, the folk that some people vote for why not give the vote to babies?

Gaa Gaa for a Republican & Goo Gaa for a Democratic (noting that Goo + Gaa takes a little more cognitive processing)

I am only half joking as I've met some relatively intelligent babies that I think would do a better job then Trump.
