I know that #EV are "better" than #ICE vehicles, but just fractionally when we need step-change.

Instead of promoting the replacement of ICE cars by EV cars, wouldn't it be far better to invest decent inclusive electrically powered public transport infrastucture?

Imagine how many batteries we could avoid manufacturing, and how much less the electical infrastructure would need upgrading if we did this.

It's not impossible - it just needs a change of mindset from a straight replacement with "less bad" to viewing the current #ClimateCrisis as a opportunity to do things "better".

NSW, Australia bushfires: This may be the first pyrocumulonimbus (Pyro CB) of the 2023/24 summer wildfire season in Australia. Remember when these fire thunderstorms were rare events? They have become more common with the #ClimateCrisis

"A fire generated thunderstorm (pyro-cumulonimbus) has formed over the Glens Creek Rd Fire, Nymboida, 30km south west of Grafton. As a result, there is a potential for escalation in fire behaviour, with erratic winds, dry lightning and significantly faster fire spread."

Police detain climate activist Greta Thunberg at London protest

“The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of greenwashing and lies,” Thunberg told reporters before she was detained. “It has been clear for decades that the fossil fuel industries were well aware of the consequences of their business models, and yet they have done nothing.”

“We cannot let this continue. The elite of the oil and money conference, they have no intention of transition,” she added. “We have no other option but to put our bodies outside this conference and to physically disrupt. And we have to do that every time, we have to continue showing them that they are not going to get away with this.”

Money Movers: The all-female, grassroots network moving millions away from fossil fuels

…switching to a greener pension provider is 21 times more [effective] than giving up flying, becoming vegetarian and switching energy supplier combined.

…volunteer hosts are trained up… They then recruit family, friends or colleagues…

“It was so fun and encouraging. We all spurred one another along to do more, research more, to take little steps…”

The #ClimateCrisis is here, we're doing too little about it & the extreme heat being experienced around the world may have become normal in a decade....

We can only do two thins & we need to do them both:

we need to accelerate moves to #netzero!

we need to develop strategies for helping those most effected (either to adapt their homes/locations) or move to areas/locations where they can thrive.

Everything else is just sound & light!

#GreenTransition now!

“U.S. President Joe Biden is drawing anger from environmental groups for opting not to attend this week's Climate Ambition Summit convened by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, a gathering billed as an effort to rally countries around plans to urgently phase out planet-warming fossil fuels as the window for action closes.” #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis https://www.commondreams.org/news/biden-climate-ambition-summit

Biden's Decision to Skip Climate Ambition Summit Called a 'Disgrace'

The U.S. president's no-show is "a betrayal to those who have rallied for him and a missed opportunity for him to deliver on his climate commitments," said 350.org's North American director.

50,000 to 75,000 people in NYC march against fossil fuels as AOC hails powerful message: “This is an incredible moment,” said Jean Su of the Center for Biological Diversity, who helped organize the mobilization. “Tens of thousands of people are marching in the streets of New York because they want climate action, and they understand Biden’s expansion of fossil fuels is squandering our last chance to avoid climate catastrophe.”

People who say, "I'm not interested in politics,"
might as well say, "I approve of the way things are."

Everyone takes sides.
Taking the Fifth (Aussageverweigerungsrecht) does not change that.

Maybe it is time we shifted our focus from fossil fuel companies to the reality that our political leadership (globally) has let fossil fuel companies drive the the short term decisi(ns we get - rather than the those needed for a healthy environment in which our world and all its inhabitants can flourish?

If our politicians had the strength of character to resist the temptations (including but not limited to $) offered by the #FF sector, and make decisions based on the abundance of evidence available to them, the fossil fuel sector would be nothing like the problem they are today.

A Montana state court today sided with young people who sued the state
for promoting the fossil fuel industry

Experts previously predicted that a win for youths in Montana would
set an important legal precedent for how courts can hold states
accountable for climate inaction.

I wish I didn't have to tell you about this again, but I do. It's not being reported much in the news — and you know why?

Because it's not 'new' (the origin of the word 'news'), it's old. This has been going on for months now, and corporate news outlets are simply tired of reporting it. But it is still happening.

Canada's boreal forests are burning up.

At least 1100 fires are active, more than 700 out of control. Over 13 million hectares have been burned so far, with no end in sight. It's an unprecedented climate and environmental disaster.
