India has hit 50C on the mercury.
Good time to revisit this piece from our friends form the @guardian

War needs fossil fuels

Protesting war is part and parcel to protesting against the #FossilFuel barons intent on genocide, both from their bombs and from the heat.

In solidarity.

Summer has not officially started yet and the world's largest economy, home of a large base of #ClimateBreakdown deniers is about to experience dangerously hot temperatures.

The United States is one of the largest per capita polluters in the world.

Their own citizens are suffering for the sake of #FossilFuel greed.

Few countries in the world have the kind of power to do something about #ClimateCrisis the way the US does. They must act NOW

#ClimateBreakdown affects us all. India is suffering through a deadly heatwave while floods are killing residents in Germany.

Nowhere is insulated from the impacts of #FossilFuel induced #ClimateCrisis.

We must all fight to elect politicians who understand, not deny the impacts of #ClimateChange

2024 is going to be another #SummerOfHeat

#FossilFuel companies convinced us driving large and fuel inefficient cars is a normal way of life

#Amazon and other distribution companies have convinced us that buying stuff we don't need and ends up in the landfill within months is also a normal way of life

#FastFashion has convinced us that getting new clothes monthly is a normal way of life

None of these things were normal before we normalized them.

#Resist

#ClimateBreakdown is not some theoretical far off thing.

It is happening to people RIGHT NOW.

Governments must act. Millions of lives are being sacrificed at the altar of #FossilFuel profits.

Tell your government representative that lives are more important than profits.

There is increasing disparity between what the public wants and what the politicians want.

The public wants litigation against #FossilFuel companies while politicians continue to approve extraction projects.

#FossilFuel companies don't just cause #ClimateBreakdown, they threaten #democracy.

Vote with your wallet as much as your ballot.

Venezuela has no more glaciers. This is #ClimateBreakdown

As more ice melts, sea levels will continue to rise, threatening millions who live along coastal regions.

No one is exempt. Not even Mar-A-Lago can escape. No more deals with Fossil Fuel executives. #FossilFuel subsidies need to end.

We all have a lot to lose.

The Indian government continues its unrelenting pursuit of coal power while ordinary Indians succumb to the heat in record numbers.

While developed nations bear the bulk of the responsibility, developing nations cannot turn a blind eye the impacts of #ClimateBreakdown and their role in it.

All governments need to act NOW, not just set benchmarks and targets that are never met

A large corporation would not engage in a deal like this unless it was confident that governments are not serious about reducing #FossilFuel use.

There is not one mention in this piece about #ClimateBreakdown.

#MediaIsComplicit in this #ClimateCrisis

Tell your government representative that this is not ok. You want to see the immediate end of fossil fuel subsidies.

2023 was a summer of extreme heat for Italy that caused numerous deaths.

Despite the tragic and horrific deaths of its own citizens from #FossilFuel induced #ClimateBreakdown, Italy cannot wean itself off oil to save the lives of its own citizens.

Italy is not alone in its complicity. Tell your government representatives NO MORE OIL. NO MORE SUBSIDIES for human killing fossil fuels.

Extreme weather is costly in terms of both dollars and lives. #FossilFuel driven #ClimateBreakdown is impacting people in rich and poor nations alike.

An economy that depends on making our lives harder and living conditions deadlier is no economy at all.

Let your representative know that you want to see an end to all Fossil Fuel subsidies.

Poor nations deserve restitution for the harms endured at the hands of rich nations refusing to decrease #FossilFuels

Averting the worst of #ClimateBreakdown is a moral imperative

As #ClimateBreakdown brings warmer weather to historically colder regions, insect borne diseases can spread with it.

There are no winners in a warming planet. Let your elected representatives know you want to see an end to #FossilFuel subsidies NOW.

There is no time to kick the can down the road. #ClimateBreakdown is happening NOW.

The death toll will be higher the longer #FossilFuel led denalism stops governments from acting.

Oil industry profits should not take priority over the lives of people.

#PlasticPollution isn't just an environmental problem, it is a human #Health problem.

Plastic in the oceans slows down the natural ability to bring carbon from the surface to the depths of the ocean exacerbating #ClimateBreakdown

Say no to bottled water. Say no to all disposable plastic.

📢 We refuse to be part of an academic elite that is silent today, only to teach about genocide in 20 years. In the last two weeks, at least 30 Universities in Turtle Island have set up Gaza solidarity camps, including Barnard, Berkeley, MIT and Columbia. (1/n)
