"I want you to panic." But not from @gretathunberg@mastodon.nu —this time from a firefighter whose face betrays his despair—he understands all too well how deeply political denial still hinders action. He was invited at @ZackPolanski@mastodon.green s press conference. We need more of this involved people at mics. In germany we give the mics only to politicians who never pass this on to people who have real, hands-on expertise—and no, I don't mean “science. Source @novaramedia@mastox.eu <3

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social @gretathunberg@mastodon.nu @ZackPolanski@mastodon.green @novaramedia@mastox.eu My building has lost 3 residents this month, one from despair, the other two heat related complications. Yet people still deny climate change here. We are a doomed species.

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social This is such a good point & actionable ‘call to action’ - and true not only in Germany: “We need more of this involved people at mics. “In germany we give the mics only to politicians who never pass this on to people who have real, hands-on expertise” Thanks for making the point & sharing this firefighter’s powerful testimony. 🙏🏻

@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social @gretathunberg@mastodon.nu @ZackPolanski@mastodon.green @novaramedia@mastox.eu 💔 Heard similar from 1st responders on medical teams because of so many dead and dying people here in Europe during the heatwaves.
