"From where I'm standing, the American Climate Corps has the potential to be the flagship Green New Deal policy. It delivers climate action, workforce upskilling, workers’ rights and Keynesian benefits, all at the same time. It has the scale and the lineage. If the CCC’s experience is anything to go by, it will lift the morale of those participating in it, and will be hugely popular."

People will need to adapt, so the main ingredients to succeed are will, ingenuity and teamwork. [...] There is plenty of work to be done, so labour demand is no issue."

Very inspired by the American Climate Corps initiative. It captures the spirit of the , even in the @pluralistic version in "The Lost Cause". I am jealous of the Americans, a rare occurrence. Joe Biden has really grown into his role; his presidency might be the best one I witnessed in my adult life (I am 58). @EU_Commission , could we have this too?

Und genau das ist der Grund warum all die Bemühungen zum Klimaschutz, zur Biodiversität, zum ökologischen Umbau der Wirtschaft nichts weiter als ein Tropfen auf dem heißen Stein sind.
Wir huldigen den falschen Leuten, wir ahmen den falschen Vorbildern nach, wir wählen Egomanen und Soziopathen.
Es gibt keinen rationalen Grund für das Überleben, wenn die Mehrheit lieber zerstört (nennen sie 'Fortschritt').

This is disturbing news! 12 million tons of carbon emitted from just ONE of the UK’s power plants.

If countries moved to renewable energy, people's energy bills would drop dramatically and their economies would be much, much more efficient.

NO WONDER oil & coal companies are spreading propaganda about the "cost" of fighting the climate crisis!!!

Bernie Sanders tried to warn us in 2016. The cause was determined to be a "track defect." We need a massive overhaul of our infrastructure. And we need to phase out coal, not only for our planet, but for the destruction it causes fragile ecosystems whenever there is a wreck. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/13/2223379/-Train-Carrying-Coal-Derails-in-Feather-River-Canyon?pm_campaign=trending&pm_source=sidebar&pm_medium=web
