Important court day. A farmer from Peru is suing German coal major RWE for contributing to climate change which is bound to cause a rockslide into the glacial lake uphill from the farner's honetown.. and drown them all... unless an expensive protection dam is built. The cost of which RWE shall have to pay.
The verdict by the first instance court in 2017 denied the argument.
Today's court, Oberlandesgericht Hamm, starts from scratch. The judges even did an onsite visit in 2022 as preparation.
And they appointed a court expert on specific climate attribution, too...who, it turns out, is on the side of RWE... See the second to last post in below thread...

Here's a live ticker from the court room. This is the last post in the thread:

Next court day is Wednesday.

As a middle-aged man I try to look after myself by running, cycling, stretching and touching my toes in the morning, doing climate activism, eating fresh veg, going to bed at a regular time, speaking to friends regularly, demonstrating with friends against the fossil fuel industry, meditatiing occasionally, intellectual stimulation, educating myself about #ClimateJustice, listening to birdsong, journalling, having conversations about ecology and trying to keep a #ClimateDiary.

+++ Alle Aktivist*innen, die sich heute dem Ausbau der B404 entgegengesetzt haben und sich damit für eine lebenswerte Zukunft mit klimafreundlicher, gerechter und schöner Mobilität eingesetzt haben sind jetzt wieder frei! +++ Verkehrswende jetzt!

Das Patriarchat ist das Fundament, auf dem Kapitalismus und Faschismus stehen.

Kommt mit uns zum feministischen Kampftag am Samstag auf die Straße und lasst uns gemeinsam für eine solidarische und gerechte Zukunft kämpfen!

Let's talk about #Degrowth...

Imagine an economy designed to serve the planet and ALL its inhabitants, not just the most powerful. What might that look like?
______________________________________

Countries that have overshot ecological limits would scale back their non-essential production and consumption to lessen environmental impacts and to decarbonise more rapidly by:

Reducing reliance on cheap fossil energy
Reducing the use of material-intensive luxuries like SUVs, private jets, and oversized homes
Stopping unsustainable practices such as the industrial production of meat and the culture of fast fashion
Curbing the wealth excesses of the very rich
Promoting public transportation over private vehicle use
Fostering a culture of durability and reparability in consumer goods

Simultaneously, the focus would shift toward enhancing social progress and human well-being by:

Guaranteeing universal access to high-quality essential public services like healthcare, education, childcare, and transportation
Ensuring affordable housing and living wages for all
Implementing a public job guarantee; a nationally-funded program where the municipal government provides jobs to those willing and able to work

Embracing these changes does *not* mean rejecting technology. A balanced approach where technological innovation and efficiency improvements are pursued as long as they are sustainable, safe, and equitable should be encouraged. The focus is on using resources efficiently, distributing them fairly, and scaling down non-essential production to help societies achieve self-sufficiency and justice.

Mission Statement [reviwed and edited 24-12-21]
[but don't hold me to it]

After the devastating Dutch elections [‘23-11-22] I decided to dedicate my toots back to the original goal.
I care about a lot of issues, most global some national; but I won't be 'tooting' about them all.

First and formost I WANT to 'toot' about:
* #ClimateSolutions
Because I trust that most people reading know about the dreadfull future of climate change, I want to spread the, possible, solutions to a problem rather than reiterate on the problem.
* #ClimateJustice
One of those solution might be sueing the polluters or governments on human rights, violations or #Ecoside
* #ClimateAction
Action is by all means a solution.
* #ClimateEmergency
* #Climate

As said I want to focus on the global issue. I don't want to nitpick on too much principles. Like: "What's worse: eating cows or driving diesel?" Both are devastating behaviors of intitled rich people!
On the otherhand therefore I truly respect ANY effort to make a change for the better.

Most of all... I want to add instead of preach. Bring some bits of the puzzle to the table.

I'm NOT a scientist of any kind. I'm just a disabled old white guy typing on a desk reading and searching a lot.

I tend to toot 10-15 toots at 13:00* that I boost again unchanged at 20:00* the same day, but that's NOT a promise. [*=my [Amstedam] time]

I might be interested in: #StopCopCity #ClimateFinance #Capitalism #Energy #USpolitics #Ukraine #Europe #Bernie #XR #OceanCleanup #NextBlue #InductionCooking #TaxTheRich #Africa #FemaleSoccer #Ajax #WomensRights #Indigenous #BigOil #Greta #CityDesign #VanessaNakate #2030 #Wildfires / #Floods #IPCC #AOC and more.
But after a year or two there appear to be 4 general topics: #Climate #Gaza / #IsraeliGenocide #USpolitics and #Ukraine

I tend to follow anyone who 'retoots' or 'favourites' my toots. Forget it, I'm vain.
If any of my 'followers' wants to opt out... this is your chance, as always.
