We need to be putting pressure on countries that allow rampant pollution that causes global warming. Stop electing climate change denying parasites is a good start.

    Stop electing climate change denying parasites is a good start.

    In Australia we should elect the Greens, they went backwards, NZ similarly the Greens, UK, Germany etc The Greens and yet in every country the right wing nutters are ascendant

    Not to get the Greens into power per se, they're still too entrenched in the neo liberal orthodoxy but they're a step in the right direction but we. need to move the Overton Window so we can see the rise. of the truly radical politicans we need

    this will only get worse as voter denial becomes more entrenched.

    there is a persistent mythology that all we need to do is slap up a few solar panels and buy a few ecars and its all good, what we need is a complete change to the social, economic and political systems we live under eg policies around banning cars, banning driving, banning meat eating pets, cutting back on meat consumption, banning billionaires.

    instead what's we are getting is Reform, AfD, MAGA, ONP etal we need to be near zero emissions by 2030/2035 or its too late because after that tipping point a will be crossed and civilisation will end.
