Impact of the textile industry on #ClimateChange goes further than polluting impact of #FossilFuels. Includes forcible change to agriculture in colonised countries to cotton cultivation and engineering of cotton crops to make them more reliable. Example of forcible removal of #Kombumerri people in Queensland to use land for cotton cultivation.
