It is happening and it is going to be bad. 2 degrees rise in temperature is not safe. What do climate deniers say about certainty in rising global temperatures?

Our children and communities are literally choking.

The real ‘con job’ is 8.7m people a year dying from fossil fuel burning. It’s PM2.5 dumped into the homes of billions. It’s our urban centres dosed with toxic air from power plants, oil refineries and mines.

What does it mean to say fossil fuels are affordable? Affordable to whom? How much is the cost of their deadly impact on our environment?

Utilities are doing even worse on climate than they were 5 years ago

Major U.S. utilities earn an “F” on a new report card because they’re planning to build far too little clean energy and far too many gas-fired power plants.

Climate activist Tori Tsui: "Only by working together do we really stand a chance against climate change."

She's an activist, author, and Greta Thunberg's friend - but most of all, she's someone demanding change.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"
