Novasutras is an emerging ecospiritual movement, to nurture and uplift one another during these challenging times, as we create a world that works for all people and all species of life on Earth. Novasutras honors both spirituality and science in the quest to understand our existence, open our minds, expand our hearts, and guide us into action.

Yesterday, some of our SR members joined the Rocking Chair sit-in in San Francisco to confront Citibank's bankrolling of the climate crisis.

Citi has more than $200 billion in support for fossil fuel expansion since 2016. Meanwhile we witness record-setting heat waves, wildfires, and floods ravage communities around the world.

Over 100 seniors belonging to Third Act , 1000 Grandmothers, and allied climate action groups staged the sit-in in solidarity with #SummerOfHeat in New York🔥

The IPCC says* it’s unequivocal that humans are responsible for global heating and our GHG emissions are responsible for 100% of the recent warming.

Preindustrial atmospheric CO₂ was ~280 ppm and now it’s >420 ppm, so we’re responsible for 33% of what’s in the atmosphere (not 3%).

*When I say “the IPCC says…”, that’s shorthand for “some of the world’s best scientists volunteered years of their time pouring over tons of peer reviewed publications and summarized their conclusions to say…”.

Social media post with text requesting absolute proof that COâ‚‚ is the main driver of climate change, claiming the contribution of human emissions of 3% compared to natural CO2 emissions of 97%.

Summer has not officially started yet and the world's largest economy, home of a large base of #ClimateBreakdown deniers is about to experience dangerously hot temperatures.

The United States is one of the largest per capita polluters in the world.

Their own citizens are suffering for the sake of #FossilFuel greed.

Few countries in the world have the kind of power to do something about #ClimateCrisis the way the US does. They must act NOW

Academics know there's something wrong with mainstream economics, yet it's given authoritative influence on climate|economic policy and it continues to monopolize research funding.

Academics need to bring this field to account. Here's a proposal to do just that. It's time to take a hard look at their methods.

Please BOOST this one and share the video. Talk about it with your colleagues.

Earth day is either celebrated on the spring equinox, or on 22nd April.

But surely, every day should be earth day.

BREAKING: Forest defenders have launched a tree sit to stop old growth logging on federal Bureau of Land Management land in Southern Oregon. Community members are opposing the Poor Windy timber sale, which targets thousands of acres of mature and old growth forest.

The timber sale is just one of countless projects the BLM has proposed across the region that will clearcut mature and old growth forests, flying directly in the face of commitments made by the federal administration.

Forest defenders are calling for the immediate cancellation of this sale and an end to all logging on public lands. #ClimateCrisis
