Greta Thunberg: "I don't want your hope. I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act. I want you to act as if you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the house was on fire, because it is."

![1. The head of the COP28 climate summit, who is the CEO of an oil company, recently defended fossil fuels.
Al Jaber: "I don't think [you] will be able to help solve the climate problem by pointing fingers or contributing to the polarization and the divide that is already happening in the world."
2. Curiously enough, the fossil fuel tycoon and climate disinformation spreader Charles Koch is funding an institute to study the issue of polarization.
Koch at desk writing a check with framed pictures on the wall reading "Tea Party founding father" and "Heartland Institute".
Koch: America's political divide -- so sad!
3. It seems the concept of "polarization" is a trojan horse for allowing corruption without opposition.
Sign on wall says "Welcome to COP28". Two protesters hold signs reading "PHASE OUT NOW" and "OUR FUTURE IS FOSSIL FREE."
American oil executive: These kids are so angry and uncouth.
Middle eastern oil executive: Truly they are the world's greatest problem.
4. The future is sure to be harmonious.

While reading “The Ministry for the Future” by Kim Stanley Robinson, I find myself wondering if this book should be required reading at #COP28
The story is fiction, of course. But it’s also highly informed & quite believable (so far). And it’s set in the not too distant future. #books #ClimateChange
"Majority......aren’t scientists"
That's ridiculous, considering.
However, the main focus of #COP28 is #money
And those with the money often lie about the science, if the #science doesn't align with their monetary agendas. And or only focus on a narrow bandwidth of scientific knowledge (confirmation bias)
Only the people who generally are honest are aware of just how many adults lie. They also lie to cover up their lies by calling honest people liars
That's why I value #science
It seems to be more and more a #Greenwashing annual fair for rich kids toys, too, regarding there had been a panel named "responsible yachting"🤡
No, the #cop28 is obviously not the place, where the real problems of the ones with less money and most affected from #ClimateEmergency are taken serious.
I know a lot of ppl at #COP28. But the thing is, the majority of them aren’t scientists or legislators. They’re also not working on #ClimateChange issues personally.
I can’t help but wonder if the UN #climate summits have become more of an annual festival than a productive dialogue.
According to The Washington Post, there are a record 84,000 attendees in Dubai this year due to “a large influx of business executives & lobbyists.”

@andrewstroehlein : #Arabia sponsoring the Women’s World Cup is like a butcher sponsoring Veganism Awareness Week.
@dbattistella : Yes, and like Big Oil leading the #COP28 Conference
@aral : Or like #Google sponsoring privacy conferences.

Saudi Arabia’s Newest Sportswashing Strategy: Sponsorship Of Women’s World Cup
FIFA’s decision to award Saudi Arabia’s state tourism authority sponsorship of the 2023 Women’s World Cup shows shocking disregard for suffering and repression of Saudi’s courageous women’s rights defenders.Minky Worden (Human Rights Watch)
