Excellent post today. Thanks Cathy - one of the most frustrating things about this election is that climate is almost non-existent in discussions primarily because there is this miguided view that you can address one or the other - its seen as an "either/or" as opposed to "both/and" - this post explains exactly why this view is wrong. Thanks again.
I'm inclined to agree with you on this. The parties most committed to climate action are also the parties committed to a fair tax system, which is what we need for everyone to have enough. Strugging with the thought that the status quo, privilege and vested interests are too powerful but going to try and be hopeful.
💛 Thank you so much Jen! So nice to hear from people around the world working towards the same thing.

It isn't always a misguided view unfortunately. For certain actors it's wilful climate denial

I just saw that today's episode of The Detail is about local opposition to the proposed Tarras airport. It's disturbing to see publicly owned organisations backing such a destructive project. https://www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/the-detail/story/2018907608/tarras-locals-gear-up-for-a-fight-over-airport
