‡) “Shame
of flying…” / “Shame
of flying…”
NOTE: Flugsham
(Shame of Flying) is a Swedish term & eco-warrior/eco-tourist raison d’etre & motto, referring to the
inexcusable carbon quantities that each & every long-distance flyer is
responsible. Greta Thunberg, a teenaged Swedish
environmental activist has galvanized international public attention by
crossing the Atlantic from Scandinavia to New York City on a small boat to
attend the Climate Strike scheduled for Fri., 20 Sept., 2019. She has testified
before Congress, & called lying sack-of-shite motherless fuck Republicoños
on their dissembling stupidity, which
was self-evident in their arrogant & idiotic questions that self-destructed
even as they asked. All she had to do was pull out their freshly-rolled shaggy
bullshit soaked red carpet from them. The climate strike is a world-wide event,
held in over 120 countries &. largely organized by teenagers who tell
everyone above the age of 50 that they’ll die of old age, whereas teenagers
will live to die from climate change ;
‡‡) “The earth is on fire” — a tweet sent by French president Macron before this summer’s G7 summit
in response to the Amazon rainforest fires, something of an increasingly annual
problem… & the intensity of this year’s fires caused by new #BrazilianFakePresident,
who has declared a mining & agricultural burning & clearcutting free
for all, refusing any assistance to put
out the flames, & criticizing any
criticism of his govt. as neo-colonialist fake news. The guy has really studied the Donald. The Brazilians have started to dial things
back ever so slightly as several client countries (incl. EU members) are
boycotting a lot of their product, incl. beef. While these fires are not
currently catastrophic, they can have effect
on regional & global rain distribution, & if the fires do continue, they can
easily reach a tipping point, destroying
a major part of the earth’s planetary respiratory system ;
‡‡‡) “School Strike For Climate Change”
NOTE: Greta Thunberg began her “School
Strike For Climate Change” in 2018, with
her signs in Swedish, relentlessly
making appearances in front of politicians, & parking in front of their offices to
bear witness, in front of city halls or
any other civic institutes, in front of
offices of corporate poluters, initially
in Sweden, but then throughout Europe, demanding they do something; & finally a global strike for climate
change was planned for the weekend of Fri., 20 Sept., through Sun., 22 Sept.,
2019; & Greta Thunberg, rather than
taking a plane, got on a small boat
& joined a small crew to sail across the Atlantic Ocean, arriving in NYC shortly before the Global
Climate Strike, & doing a very
effective media campaign; this
culminated in a speech before the UN Gen. Assy. on 23 Sept., 2019, where she asked them if they were so purely evil
as to pretend to be addressing climate change whilst doing nothing, while a new great extinction begins, while tens of thousands of people die, and concluded her speech with the observation
that her generation would never forgive their generation for the cavalier betrayal
of their children & Grandchildren
& their very planet ;

“Strike
For Climate Change”
NOTE: Greta Thunberg began her
School Strike For Climate Change in 2018, with her signs in Swedish, relentlessly making appearances in front of politicians,
& parking in front of their offices
to bear witness, in front of city halls
or any other civic institutes, in front
of offices of corporate poluters, initially
in Sweden, but then throughout Europe, demanding they do something; this culminated in a speech before the UN
Gen. Assy. on 23 Sept., 2019, during the
global “Strike for Climate Change”. (a strike which included not only
students, but young people everywhere, as well as any adults who wished to align themselves
with this movement) where she asked them
if they were so purely evil as to pretend to be addressing climate change
whilst doing nothing, while a new great
extinction begins, while tens of
thousands of people die, & concluded
her speech with the observation that her generation would never forgive their generation
for the cavalier betrayal of their children
& Grandchildren & their very planet ; affiliated
global grps like Extinction Rebellion, which started in the UK, & which has staged massive acts of civil
disobedience & noviolent resistanc,
not only targeting institutions like museums who get major grants from
some of the world’s largest & most relentless fossil fuel polluters, but also making life miserable for any members
of British Parliament who refuse to do anything except cry crocodile
tears; Extinciton Rebelion has been so
effective that, even with Brexit sucking
all of the oxygen out of all public rms. & forums, as well as most private
venues, they have actually been able to
force the govt. (including the Tories) to fucking do something, to even
pass some legislation. Hell, even the merkin-headed clown p.m. Boris Johnson showed some spine
on the issue at the G-7 summit & aligned the UK with the rest of the G-7 on
the climate issue, & in opposition to
Trump’s ecocidal & chaotic climate policies.
