Can Hurricane Ida move public opinion on climate change?

Maybe we can stop calling them alarmists now and just people with a basic grasp on history and politics https://t.co/SJkXsiPTbc

We’re old enough to remember like two months ago when the right-wing tried to convince us that infrastructure had nothing to do with the climate crisis. https://t.co/4fdgkmjIRD

Climate change is making hurricanes like Ida worse. As the planet warms, storms:

◾️ are more likely to be larger and stronger
◾️ move more slowly and drop more rain
◾️ intensify faster, like how quickly Ida went from a Category 1 to a Category 4https://t.co/KXWChygUtE pic.twitter.com/LPEJBFxVre

Her manner is level and unflinching, her voice soft and halting and she admits she may be the most reluctant activist in modern times. But something about her raw honesty around a message of blunt-force fear turned this girl from invisible to global. https://t.co/qWdbrG19wI

You can’t just denounce capitalism when addressing climate change. It isn’t just an economical system that’s killing the land and water. It’s an interconnected imperialist, colonial capitalist and white supremacist system that’s killing the land and life.

Capitalism has steamrolled this planet and its organisms, gouging out mountains, overexploiting fish stocks, and burning fossil fuels. Since 1988, 100 corporations have been responsible for 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. https://t.co/teXEq5xz8b
