No place to run
We are so deep in a climate crisis that has not happened in millions of years and has not yet fully manifested in reality, that no amount of renewable energy will solve it.
We need to save all existing forests and wetlands and restore degraded areas and stop economic growth

Mining is necessary if we’re to move away from fossil fuels, and enjoy modern conveniences such as smartphones, electric vehicles, efficient appliances and more.

“Mining by its very definition is #unsustainable.” We have to ensure we’re not trading one set of problems for another. #ResistanceEarth

The mad rush for energy, mines and metals

Demand for renewable energy technologies, data centres, artificial intelligence and weapons is fuelling increasingly faster growth.

Fossil fuels account for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions.

The fossil fuel industry along with Doug Ford are #ClimateCriminals for expanding gas.

But know this... 80% people globally want their govts to take stronger action to tackle the climate crisis. We all need to play a role in mitigating climate change. Start in your community. peoplesclimate.vote
