I cannot fathom how anyone with even a shred of backbone or self-respect can happily keep chattering away at the Nazi Bar.

"When asked how he handles despair, rain forest activist John Seed replied: "I try to remember that it's not me, John Seed, trying to protect the rainforest. Rather, I am part of the rainforest protecting itself. I am that part of the rainforest recently emerged into human thinking." —ACTIVE HOPE: How to Face the Mess We're in with Unexpected Resilience & Creative Power by Joanna Macy & Chris Johnstone

Some good #ClimateEmergency news - "‘We have a responsibility’: the older women suing #Switzerland to demand #climate action - Switzerland’s #KlimaSeniorinnen are taking the government to the #European court of human rights #ECHR for doing too little to tackle the #ClimateCrisis "

"Switzerland’s KlimaSeniorinnen, or senior #climate women, are not who most people think of when they talk about those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. The 2,400 members of the group live in one of the richest countries on #Earth. Due to their age – the youngest is 64 – they will witness just a fraction of the extreme weather that their generation’s children and grandchildren will see.

But these retirees are among those fighting hardest for a livable future. The women are suing the #Swiss government in Europe’s top court for violating their #HumanRights with policies that do too little to stop the planet from baking. Their case, which could send shock waves through courts across the continent, rests on two simple facts. Heatwaves are getting hotter as people burn #FossilFuels. And women, particularly older ones, are more likely to die when temperatures soar."
