America is being left behind. Trump can try to scrub #ClimateChange from federal documents, but, sorry, climate change is actually real. And in the coming decades our systems will either break down or the world will overthrow fossil capital & turn to China for the solutions. Is that what we want?

Canceling the measurement of economic impacts from climate change doesn't make the costs go away, it puts them on citizens who will see their expenses for everything from housing to food rise higher and faster than they otherwise would www.propublica.org/article/trum...

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits. The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Just as your power to address climate change isn't based on your footprint but rather your power to change the insitutions, communities and systems you're part of So the real impact of the wealthy isn't their footprints, but their efforts to rig the system in their favour and prevent serious action

Here's Musk saying climate change is "much slower than alarmists claim." This is why the first chapter of my book on climate-change propaganda explains the stickiness of the accusation that scientists are "alarmist" and offers an effective counter-narrative about bravery & political agency.
