On The Place of Wars in The Climate Movement
We’re unwittingly and inadvertently being hypocrites of some sorts .. you see.. We support climate action and fighting against the governments of the world, including western governments, and their never ending spate of mendacious lies and procrastination in terms of climate action.. which I agree on. However, some seem to be almost fanatical and avidly rabid and vociferous proponents of Ukraine, insofar as to sugarcoat Ukraine and put it on a pedestal.. I’m not sure what the

On The Sobering Silence of FFF about The Turkish Earthquake
FFF’s mission is to be fighting for justice and equality, and standing in solidarity with the downtrodden and the oppressed. But how can we now ever truly claim to be fighting for justice, if we ostensibly turn a blind eye and our backs on the desperate and heart-wrenching shrills and whimpers of agony, tribulation, bane, anguish, pain, trauma, suffering and macabre death of the Turkish and Syrian people, whom, virtually overnight, had their livelihoods devastated, homes dest

Group Chat Arbitration Phase 1
Step 1: Let us start first with laying out and re-enunciating the issue at hand here. I am sure that all of us are fully aware of the malady here, but it is usually helpful if we restate the problem, as to give us better clarity: There are some people like Mr. Ken S. and Ms. Janine whom are proponents of maintaining FFF as youth-led but all-inclusive. While others like Greta, Saoi, Ell and some other young people, are advocating for a change in FFF’s core structural and dem

The Case For Boycotting COP Meetings
It is evident that COP meetings aren’t bearing any fruit, and their track record has not been very promising so far. It is expected that COP 28 will be, at best, no different, if not less inclusive and less genuine. Activists have been denouncing these meetings and dismissing them as ‘PR events’, and rightfully so; because after 27 iterations of these sham meetings, we’re still not on track to stay under 1.5 C of warming to preserve and safeguard posterity’s future. But, we h

No action on climate because Politicians are too busy playing politics
The problem is that we, apparently, don't realise that what we're doing is almost futile and in vain attempts at getting the world into order and real decisive action on climate and ecological crises.. because, we can spend a whole decade being proponents of Climate justice, spend a lifetime being advocates and a voice for our fragile and dear planet. However, politicians won't listen. You ever wondered why? Well, it all boils down to the simple fact that politicians are NOT

A Message To The Environmental & Climate Movement
Everyone says that the rotten dinosaur (aka fossil fuel) industry is the criminal and flagitious culprit here, and nobody who has even the tiniest smidgen of an understanding of the climate and ecological crisis disputes this, but have we ever wondered why have we been failing and so ineffective in changing our civilizational trajectory? I understand how much effort and time, and how many sacrifices and attempts were made to save our beauteous planet, and those heroic and val

Money Is But An Abstract Construct Of The Human Imagination
Ever thought why we always yearn for more money? Why do we always believe that money is and will continue to be our saviour, even if pursuing more money now will induce a climate breakdown and, consequently, conduce a calamitous apocalyptic end to our civilisation. To perceive why money will not save us in the eventuality of a climate-induced dystopia, let's conceive the following analogy. Let's say that you have stupendous amounts of money. And the climate calamity strikes a

The Real Comprehensive Solution To The Climate And Ecological Crises
Can we realistically solve a crisis without first taking care of the root causes of that crisis? Activism and marches are imperative and vital, they raise people's awareness. But, activism alone is highly unlikely to yield success in less than 7 years, which is the time left for expending our remaining CO2 budget, and reaching 1.5 C. We need people from inside the political sphere, well-known and reputable people, and perhaps even billionaires to speak up and join the movemen
