Nicht jedes Thema ist nachrangig zum Klimaschutz.

Die intakte Natur im Meer und an Land hat uns bisher geholfen, die Hälfte unserer Emissionen zu verstecken, sodass die nich in der Atmosphäre blieben.
Nun ist beispielsweise Wald in🇳🇴🇩🇪🇫🇮 usw schon keine #Kohlenstoffsenke mehr. wegen falscher Agrarpolitik, die systematisch Artenschutzstrategien in Land- und Forstwirtschaft ausblendet.
Auch Cem Özdemir verhielt sich so. In Landesregierungen sind Grüne auch nicht naturschützend unterwegs sondern GDP-schützend.

Kaputte Natur 🐟🌳hilft uns aber nicht mehr, 50% unseres fossilen CO2 zu verstecken. Dann bleibt davon mehr in der Atmo und wir müssTen noch schneller auf 0 um Erhitzung auf ein handlebares Maß zu begrenzen.

Degrowth und danach Suffizienz statt GDP-fokussierte Wachstumsziele sind nötig, um in alle 9 planetaren Grenzen und schneller auf 0 CO2 zu kommen – UND dafür auch weniger WKA zu brauchen, was weniger tote Milane bedeutet.

Weder @GrueneBundestag noch @dielinke planen #Degrowth und Suffizienz .
Einerseits verständlich: die Wahrheit würde ihre Wählerschaft beunruhigen.
Und solange die anderen Parteien im Verein mit der Polit- und Econ-Journaille den Natur- und Klimaschutz sowieso als lästiges Hobby der Grünen verkaufen, looking at you, @tagesschau und @ZDF ,
wird es gesamtgesellschaftlich auch nicht in die richtige Richtung gehen, geschweigedenn Zivilisationsschutz dabei rauskommen.

Es gibt kein "lesser evil", wenn auch so ein angeblich kleineres Übel direkt in den Untergang führt.

Nature *is* beautiful. As a kid I thought a lot with such refugia.

Remember: no matter how hard the technocapitalists try, they won't be able to erase life. In a few million years, there'll be little trace of the anthropocene left.

(this is the bedrock of my optimism. I am even convinced that we can well hope for more and that some human communities will be able to manage not even so badly through the collapse of the industrial society.)

There might still be a shimmer of hope for a 22nd century with organized human life: the #trump administration seems to be continuing their #degrowth agenda, even against the warnings of leading economists.

With the policies already showing significant effect on the American and world economy, this without a doubt is the most effective act of the degrowth movement up to date... and he just got started!

Q: What's your location?
A: I'm Spanish and living in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Q: Why do you think #degrowth is, or should be, the future?
A: On the specific topic of achieving carbon neutrality, I see Degrowth as a crucial pillar. Transitioning from fossil fuels to green energy alone just shifts the problem, like dealing with excess batteries or where to put so many renewables.
