This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.
whoaaa... looking at the temps across Australia today.

That's extreme.

Feeling for all the folks who were/are affected by this heatwave (we've been spared here in Sydney but other capitals and regional areas are really in the thick of it)

Prime Minister Frederiksen:

We have been able to take a very important decision within the European Union - to phase out fossil fuels from Russia.

All Europeans can see now that it was a huge mistake to be dependent on Russian fossil fuels. We should never have done that.

These types of ppl were saying this exact stuff about anti-fracking activists in 2010... It's their only interpretive framework for understanding ppl organizing without approval.

Two things to learn from this.
1. The rightwing newspapers are lobby groups whose purpose is to advance the class interest of their proprietors.
2. Lobbyists for the rich and powerful lose their jobs if they are not prepared to lie.

Cannot reccomend this strongly enough. For me personally so many elements of fascism whenever it emerges in the world seem to have a seed in the fossil fuel economy, the outrageous lies of climate denial.

Fighting against fossil fuels = fighting against the tools of fascism.
Wrote myself a pep talk to get back to work tomorrow. It helped me. Hope it helps you.
I don't know how to do this
But I'm going to keep doing it anyway.
