A reminder that it is our modern industrial civilization’s accelerating demand for materials that drives fossil fuel consumption, ecocide & the West’s imperialist assaults on the Global South. In 6 recent years we've consumed nearly as much as we did in the entire 20th century.

Obstructionists say taking urgent climate action would be too expensive - because they assume that taking no action costs nothing In reality, inaction so far will cost ONE FIFTH of global income by 2050 Ending fossil fuels is the cheapest and least disruptive option we have
