Looting By Other Means
What the rich nations owe the poor is not climate aid or climate loans. It’s climate reparations.

Almost everything being said by powerful governments at COP26 is a distraction from the crucial task: keeping fossil fuels in the ground.
Surface Tension
Our survival depends on piercing the glassy surface of distraction, and ceasing to obey.
Miracle of Reduction
