Climate Justice Movement Plays a Crucial Role in Tackling the Environmental Crisis

“What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!"

So went the chant that echoed across the streets of Glasgow, Scotland, in November as the city played host to COP26. While world leaders met in the summit's heavily fortified "Blue Zone," out on the streets and around Glasgow, the climate justice movement thrived -- organizing rallies, marches and public assemblies.

Climate activists have historically been portrayed as everything from destructive and disruptive extremists to delusional hippies. They're outdated and unfair stereotypes that ignore the diversity of people who are trying to secure a livable planet for future generations. Among their ranks you will find people from Indigenous communities who have been victims of colonialism, young women from small and developing countries, disabled people and those who belong to labor movements, as well as the scientists who have proved unequivocally that greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming.

"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals," said UN Secretary General António Guterres upon the release of the latest IPCC report on the mitigation of climate change this week. "But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels."

For many decades, climate activists have been well acquainted with the scientific realities of the climate crisis that many around the world are just waking up to -- often because they are feeling the effects of it most keenly. They've been fighting a slow-burn battle against governments, businesses and lobbying groups who have obstructed public awareness, spread disinformation or refused to take the necessary action to tackle human-caused global warming by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

But more than that, they have been fighting for a transition to a different social and economic model, one based on the principles of climate justice.

Uh, probably not. Playing a critical role in spreading MIS/DIS/MAL-information, yeah. And they’ve done a good job of convincing folks with a gabby gifford that we’re doomed.

The article contains an effort to explain the concept of "climate justice".

They use a lot of words, and cover a lot of topics. Social stuff, Political stuff, Economic stuff, Science stuff, COVID-19, Third world, etc.

Seems to boil down to: Communist Revolution, World Government, We want Power.

You know: climate justice.

It’s all about the money. Idiots who wasted their time and money getting a diploma in environmental activism can’t get jobs.

I don’t understand many things.

Greta was there in Glasgow, but didn’t participate in the meetings. Instead, she was outside, and led protesters in chanting “Shove the climate crisis up your ass”.

In some calmer moments, Greta claimed that what was going on inside was not going to result in anything tangible to deal with global warming.

I don’t understand. These activists have worked to get the nations of world attention on their cause, then bitch about how they aren’t solving the problem. And then march around outside and say, shove it up your ass.

Go figure.

“Climate justice? WTH is that?”

When you see the word ‘justice’ anywhere, it means socialism/ wealth redistribution.
