Last night I watched #DontLookUp. It was like seeing my adult life flash past me. Even down to the morning TV show where I totally lost it while trying, for the 1000th time, to explain what climate breakdown would do. All the anger, the frustration, the desperation: I feel it.
I'm not proud of what happened on that show, but I'm not going to run away from it either. After 36 years of the most important of all issues being marginalised in favour of fatuous news about celebrities, it was bound to catch up with me. youtube.com/watch?v=gJnxj6…
The film got it dead right. The Great Wall of Denial erected by the media. Money and political games taking precedence over the survival of life on Earth, the endless trivial nonsense on our screens that sucks our brains out through our eyes. theguardian.com/environment/20…
I'm so sick of being treated like a pariah by most of the media because I care about the survival of life on Earth. I'm so sick of being treated as if I'm mentally ill by other people. I'm so sick of beating my head against the wall of indifference and distraction and denial.
@GeorgeMonbiot Bit like the "great wall of denial" about the impact of adding a million people to global population every 4 days (births minus deaths). @PopCounts @solve_overpop @PopnMatters @growthbusters @ChrisGPackham
