HUGE news y’all!!!! Giant step in the right direction!

BREAKING: Today likely will go down in history as a major turning point in saving our planet.

Dutch court orders Shell to halve emissions; shareholders slam Chevron over Ecuador; Exxon loses two Board seats to climate activists.

The fossil fuel era is ending.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Technology based on the use of highly polluting fossil fuels needs to be replaced without delay. There is reason to hope that humanity at the dawn of the 21st century will be remembered for having generously shouldered its grave responsibilities. #LaudatoSiWeek
