Let's be honest. No major government has any policy, or any intention of "rapid, deep, and in most cases immediate greenhouse gas emissions". They've simply been lying to us for the last 32 years. Quite the opposite, they intend to burn far more fossil fuels.

This morning, I woke up to a sudden realisation of what a weird system we live in, and how those at the top have been gaslighting us.
I have been struggling all day, about whether I should write this, lest it mistakenly be seen as an attack on the rich, which it is not.

People are rightly asking what is the solution to the ecological and climate crisis. What is the purpose of my highlighting how this crisis is driven by billionaires, the very rich and corporations, and their media. I will briefly explain.

Everything wrong with the world, and a system with capitalism, at its heart, driving the climate and ecological crisis.
We're told there's no money for public services. There is plenty of money, it's just going to the wrong sections of society.

1) We need to talk about the way doomism is being used by certain climate scientists as a pejorative term for many climate activists. It's necessary to discuss this, because post COP26 this term is being widely abused and used against anyone questioning the efficacy of COP talks.

In other words, we have a society, where powerful and wealthy people controlling our societies, and exploiting everyone else for their own ends, are preventing necessary action, to protect their own interests.

I'm just baffled by so much mainstream political, strategic and economic thinking, which totally excludes the climate and ecological crisis, as if it's trivial. The reality is it is going to change everything. Change is coming, whether you like it or not.

The reason I am picking on Lomborg, despite this meme being widespread, is because he is intelligent enough, and informed enough, to fully understand why he is being disingenuous, and why his argument is false, and propaganda of the most dishonest type.

Last night, I blocked possibly hundreds of climate crisis deniers, under a Greta Thunberg tweet - just her regular Friday protest with a photo. The personal abuse was incredible. You have to remember, I've already blocked many thousands of these abusive right wing idiots.

The fact, that the judge described the views of the
@JustStop_Oil
activists as "political", demonstrates, that it is the judge who has political views about the climate crisis, not the activists. The activists' views are based on scientific evidence, not politics.

Read this from Private Eye about the Just Stop Oil sentences. The justice system in this country is a farce.

1) Regardless of the outcome of the US elections, we need to have a hard deep think about what democracy means. We have developed a form of democracy, which allows rich liars to get power by force of lies and creating fear and hatred.

I want to illustrate how the mainstream media, here the BBC, slyly smeared
@GretaThunberg
In this news report yesterday, they claimed Greta had said "slay", which of course, in English, means to kill.
