This is incredibly sad news, @climategenorg.bsky.social 😰
My own small outreach budget ran dry six months ago, and I’ve had to radically rethink how I keep doing this work myself.
While many issues factor into funding, there’s no question it’s a hard, hard moment for climate action in the U.S. 💔

We know this news may bring disappointment, sadness, or questions. Climate Generation has always been about collective action and shared responsibility. That spirit continues now, even as this chapter comes to a close.

Carney gave a rousing speech at Davos, but he is still in bed with Big Oil. Fossil fuels are almost obsolete. Better, safer alternatives exist. Imagine if every solar panel and wind turbine were incinerated after a few hours use. That's what we do with oil. #keepitintheground #juststopoil

This is a great little video explainer and I think the world needs more of this. I'm going to compile a 🧵of similar explainer vids that make solutions to the many problems we face much easier to understand. Please enjoy & share & by all means make suggestions for similar videos on the comments.
