There’s literally nothing that stops them from calling it Gulf of Trump.
“Never before has the danger of climate change been so evident and the response so cavalier.”
A simple solution to make streets safer for all users without additional infrastructure.
The 20- and 24-month sentences that these activists received are criminal.
We should all look forward to the day when we’ve decarbonized enough that fossil fuel subsidies are no longer the lever by which governments attempt to control consumer prices and inflation.
Turns out LinkedIn is also full of climate denying idiots. They’re just not anonymous.
25-year old Michele Gazzoli abandoned the Tour de France due to heatstroke. Welcome to our climate changed future. #TDF2024
