The idea that China and India will just abandon climate action is not true, because they're doing it for more reasons than we are.

The technology we need most badly is the technology of community, the knowledge about how to cooperate to get things done.

The ability to write compelling emails may be the single most useful talent an organizer can possess.

Probably nothing that we have ever managed to do quite equals the basic undermining of the physical stability of the planet on which most of the world's poor people depend.

I'm guessing the most efficient way would be to transfer an awful lot of technology, but also direct aid to deal with climate emergencies already underway. Hillary [Clinton] has already said $100 billion a year would be appropriate.

We'd won the argument 15 years before, we were just losing the fight. And so it became clear to some of us that we would need to organise to fight, that we weren't going to win.
