BREAKING: Trump stood at the UN—and called climate change a hoax.

This isn’t just ignorance. It’s malpractice on a planetary scale.

There is no time to wait. We need leadership from everyone because we aren't going to get it from the white house.

In Victoria, ashes from wildfires that have ravaged communities across Canada were laid at the Legislature. One of over 70 #DrawTheLine actions nationwide.

@MarkJCarney time to pick a side: injustice, violence, and climate destruction—or a just and safe future for all of us.

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: buff.ly/3P85KHU That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate
