Every government’s real policy for the climate crisis

"Rather than ceasing our shitf***ery, we tell you your only choice is to adapt to it"

Years on, @thejuicemedia's "Honest Government Ad," made after the Australia fires, remains a brilliant insight into the climate inaction of almost every country.

@jzed74 @luckytran @thejuicemedia On Firefox (desktop) you can download an add-on to save videos. You could then transfer it to phone, or if you've a network drive save it to and access it there.

@halcionandon @luckytran @thejuicemedia
If the French riots result in Marie Le Pen taking power will you still advocate for political violence?

Australia has changed its government and taken significant #ClimateAction since their terrible season of #BushFires

Back when the climate broke
The burning and the fires' smoke
Gutted towns in holocaust
Fueled by fossils' burned exhaust

The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To save the air

The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to all
Let's get it back

How can we dance
With our congress churning
How do we sleep
While our earth is burning

Back when the climate broke
The glaciers melted, the sea awoke
The storms and tides wiped out the shores
And led us to the climate wars

This reminds me *so* much of Jacinda Ardern. If she said *exactly* the same things as a Nat PM, and did *exactly* the same amount of nothing much to back them up, the left would have condemned her just like we did Teflon John. But because she was a Labour PM, so many people just lapped it up and gushed about what a wonderful spokesmodel she was. Ick : /
