Happy #EarthDay !
This is what’s needed to stay below 1,5°C of warming.

Note that this doesn’t include the aspect of equity, feedback loops or additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution.

Sorry to bother but it’s time to act.

Getting ready for my #ClimateStrike, i know its Good Friday but that doesn't stop me from demanding for #ClimateAction because Good Friday cant be any better when our earth is facing these terrible effects of climate change. #schoolstrike4climate @gretathunberg @Fridays4FutureU

so, in just one day, #extinctionrebellion proves that London can easily:
- divert/reduce traffic
- green our existing bridges
- turn streets into communal spaces
- make travel routes bike/pedestrian only
- use solar power
- avoid plastic waste
- have friendly police on streets

”A new report published this week shows that 33 global banks provided $1.9 trillion to fossil fuel companies since the adoption of the Paris Agreement.”

Wow. That’s almost as bad as missing a few lessons on #schoolstrike4climate

After a lot of deliberation, I have decided to launch a #Patreon with a modest goal, in order to support #fediQuest development, since two hours of me tired after work, every couple of days doesn't really cut it.

#fediQuest is a #federated question/answer platform akin to #StackOverflow / #Quora, powered by #ActivityPub.

If that sounds interesting to you, please take a look at https://www.patreon.com/fediquest - you'd get early access to the source code and your own space on https://shapegoal.org
