#CapitalismIsKillingUs: If the world’s highest emitting countries only focus on technological climate solutions (like switching to renewable energy) and not #systemic behavioral ones (like buying less stuff and using less energy), the authors argue, #climatechange may be slowed. But #ecological #overshoot—which includes symptoms like #biodiversity loss, #ecosystem collapse, and #oceanacidification—will worsen. And as overshoot worsens, the authors argue, “the likelihood of societal breakdown increases.”

Just another “record highs” day on imperiled planet earth.

So even as I try extra hard to savor the sacredness of an abundant canopy of vivid-green leaves gently dancing to and fro in the breeze, a peppy-blue cloudless skies above, and a shimmering-aqua lake with its rhythmic waves looking like glitter in the sun, I feel distracted by my rage for capitalism, which ruins everything good in the world.

Of course, the earth will live on, even if vastly transformed by “record weather,” but it’s a lot less clear in relation to our species if capitalism keeps chugging along.)

Because I have way too many #ACAB photos on my phone (part 4 of 7)…

You don’t hate Thursdays, you hate capitalism. And cops too.
