#ClimateDiary this @ScientistRebellion talk by Kevin Anderson is really excellent, too - everyone should watch this. In the clearest terms he explains the profound depth and extent of #ClimateAction needed now. Not tinkering; not business and politics as usual, but vision and courage. A global climate #MarshallPlan #VelvetRevolution that takes us peacefully to #CarbonZero by 2030-5. We all, each one of us, need to show courage and leadership to get there
