"Departure points are vital if we’re to make the most of what #PlanetoftheHumans has highlighted as key issues. If the climate justice movement has failed and the #environmental movement has been captured by #billionaires, what else have they messed up?"

"Data for Progress, #GreenNewDeal Research Director & World Resources Institute US, Manager for Climate Action and Data, Greg Carlock referred to a WRI working paper on direct air capture in a recent blog post for #WRI."

#CCS #BECCS

Thus, it is par for the course that Julian Brave NoiseCat - VP of Policy & Strategy, Data for Progress
Narrative Change Director - would co-sign the Josh Fox letter "DEMANDING AN APOLOGY AND RETRACTION OF PLANET OF THE HUMANS".

This is exactly what @empathiser recognizes as the major obstacle to all grassroots struggles & resistance - that of networked hegemony. This is where the legitimate left in the West has failed both tragically & miserably.
