We create an economic system that makes people sick then we punish them for being sick and push them into the types of jobs that will definitely make them even more sick and then make them even poorer which makes them sicker. Explain that logic!

The question isn’t IF climate change is making extreme weather worse—it’s how much.
Science can put a number on how many more homes flood, how much more rain a hurricane dumps, how much larger wildfires grow--and how much worse it will get if we don't act now.

The problem is, our government won’t do it.
Quite the opposite - Palantir were awarded a £330 million contract to create a data management system for the NHS.
Yes, that’s right - the same company aiming to give the IDF a “tactical edge” are handling our data.
It’s down to us to tackle them.
