“What does it mean to be an activist? What does it mean to speak up? I think it means to be creative. Creativity is looking at something and seeing how it could be more beautiful, how it can work better.”

Loved listening to this @xiyebastida.bsky.social interview.

Climate Change Could Cut the Economy in Half. We’re Not Ready for It. A new study suggests global warming’s effect on GDP has been vastly underestimated. Will it finally break through the religion of infinite growth?

100%:

The belief that economic growth can continue amidst climate catastrophe "is based on nothing...It upholds two doctrines above all: that the economy is separate from nature & that technology can do all the work of ecosystems."— @doctorvive.bsky.social

Earth's thriving is the root of all good.

Not to mentions that every post on Twitter was filled with bots that made dialogue impossible

I am so heartened to see the thriving climate community over here— about two months ago I was kicked out of Twitter with no explanation

It is clear that suppression of climate science and communication is on the rise, I will tell everyone I know to join BlueSky for climate 🙌
