climate
we need to protect our air, land and water. We need to be using 100% renewable energy and have a plan to achieve net-zero emissions, or carbon neutrality by 2050. Immediately stop using fossil fuels and eliminate greenhouse gas (ghg).
greenhouse gas (ghg) is heating the Earth which is producing a hyper climate which is causing wildfires and floods, drought and sea level rise, hurricanes and heat waves. ghg is produced from the extraction, processing, and carbon emissions from oil, gas and coal.
Humpty Trumpty is openly doing the bidding of the oil, gas and coal industries while many cities around the world are already choked by air pollution, and industrial toxic waste is poisoning our land and water.
"If we can't breathe it then we die, if we can't grow food on it then we die, if we can't drink it then we die."
we need to change or die. The science is clear and climate change is real. It's caused by ghg pollution released by human industrial activity. As the biosphere gets warmer, we increase evaporation. And as we increase evaporation, ecosystems dry out and burn. And when soils get dry due to increased evaporation, we get longer heat waves. And longer heat waves make the biosphere warmer still. A hyper climate will end humans.
air
what's in our air? global levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) passed 400ppm, while 100ppm is considered an unhealthy amount of greenhouse gas (ghg).

oil, gas and coal
human activity, like burning coal and driving cars, produces ghg, which contributes to the greenhouse effect, which is the cause of the current global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, nitrous oxides and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Climate chaos, like fires, storms, hurricanes, floods, and drought, is caused by high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and is already producing human suffering and will most likely lead to the end of our civilization as we know it.
the majority of the world's population now lives in cities. Is your city on the smog list?
we must stop the EPA's rollback of current federal environmental safeguards.
Paris
in order to meet the targets in the Paris Agreement and save the planet from climate devastation, we must halt coal, oil and gas development and finance a transition towards 100% renewable energy systems.
11 countries leading in renewable energy. Germany to close all 84 of its coal-fired power plants, will rely on renewable energy. Sweden is aiming to be a fossil fuel free nation. Costa Rica has achieved 95% renewable electricity.
