The UK’s policing bill will make climate activism almost illegal – just when it’s most needed

Disruption caused by activists blockading roads is virtually non-existent compared to climate change.

@herbivorize Is this satire or a real movement? If real, have you not considered the disastrous ecological ramifications of such a move? It’s also insanely hubristic & anthropocentric…remaking nature to suit your own vision? 🤦🏽‍♀️ #ecology #nature #BiodiversityCrisis

@Prof_FSultana ’s ‘Decolonizing Climate Coloniality’- one of my favourite assessments of @UNEP COPs yet…spaces of ‘reification & rupture’, business as usual as well as radical potential 🫶🏼👏🏼✊🏾🌏🌊 #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice #AcademicChatter #systemchange

Certainty is antithetical to hope. Hope is possible precisely because a given outcome is never guaranteed. Before us lie a range of possible trajectories- relative flourishing, climate & biodiversity collapse. How bad things get depend on how quickly we act. #utopianow

In my latest @ConversationUK piece I discuss why billionaire philanthropy is no solution to the climate and ecological crisis. ✊🏼 #systemchange #ClimateCrisis

Why billionaire climate philanthropists will always be part of the problem

Jeff Bezos $10 billion pledge is great, but is no match for a properly democratic transition.

"To limit the [political] discussion to humans, their interests, their subjectivities, & their rights, will appear as strange a few years from now as having denied the right to vote of slaves, poor people, or women” (Latour 2004, g. 69). #Latourlegacy #Ecology #biodiversitycrisis
