"Industry-Dominated COP28 'Unacceptable,' Says Vanessa Nakate"
by Jessica Corbett for Common Dreams

https://www.commondreams.org/news/vanessa-nakate

Quotes:
"As time runs out in Dubai, it feels as though the lifeboat of our shared humanity is sinking."
"It can be tiring to keep coming to these places and to be constantly disappointed by the decisions that are made," the campaigner said during a Tuesday press conference. "For this COP to be truly a success, it has to address fossil fuels." [and now, a day later, everybody says they did. JdeB]
"There are over 2,400 fossil fuel lobbyists that have a lot of control and power over this process," Nakate noted. "And we must call out that sabotage, we must call out the power. We must hold the fossil fuel companies accountable for the climate crisis."
"Many of our homelands are already being decimated by extreme weather. Huge changes are already with us and even more are inevitable—even if countries had agreed to a fossil fuel phaseout. So we must adapt."

Mission Statement
[but don't hold me to that]

After the devastating Dutch elections [22-11-'23] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 2 - 3 times a day, but that's NOT a promise.
I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.

If any of my 'followers' want to opt out... this is your chance, as always.

Eipä kohta palkita ketään suomalaista missään, kun #laitaoikeistohallitus toimeen käy.

#SannaMarin on palkittu #HelmutSchmidt -palkinnolla. Viime vuonna palkinnon sai #VanessaNakate, että kovassa seurassa ollaan.

Palkinnon antamista Marinille perustellaan muun muassa sillä, että #Marin on ollut uraauurtava eurooppalainen poliitikko, jolla on selkeät arvot ja oma poliittinen tyylinsä. Lisäksi palkintoraadin mukaan hän hoiti koronapandemiaa tehokkaasti.

It's a small thing but my #library accepted my donation of #VanessaNakate's "A Bigger Picture" and has shelved it prominently in the "New" section.

Maybe some young person will pick it up and be inspired to get involved with #climateActivism

It is #blackhistorymonth and today we are honoring Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate justice activist from Kampala who has inspired us and many more people across the globe!   

Nakate started her journey as a climate activist in 2018 after becoming aware of the effects of climate change on the livelihoods of many Ugandans. Later, she founded the Youth for Future Africa and the Africa-based Rise Up Movement. In addition, she is the leader of Uganda’s first Fridays for Future climate strikes.

Thought her activism, she raises awareness about the implications and causes of climate change. She is a hardworking and determined activist who aims to bring the voices and experiences of people in the Global South to the global arena.
