It is very rare for twisters as destructive as that one to occur in December. Climate change?
“It all makes sense but the rarity of these events makes it difficult to detect any definite signal of change in tornado behavior". https://t.co/lI3eizea3L
Oregon, the state that produces the most Christmas trees in the US, has lost acres upon acres of seedlings due to the recent record heat. It takes eight years to grow one, if another extreme heat event hits the farmers may not be able to recover.

Canada's ongoing climate Crime against Humanity, massively extracting more fossil fuels instead of ending the fossil fuel industry, developing much more renewable energy (most abundant in Canada). An atrocious example to the world. https://t.co/FlnO2nYQsg
A report by Investment Metrics found that four of the seven best-selling European climate funds failed to beat the MSCI World index. These failed climate strategies are pretty much greenwashing. #StopFundingOurDestruction

Australia's new "green" freeway it's supposed to be made of recycled glass in asphalt, recycled concrete in road base and more. But it's a freeway really green? Just like every other freeway, induces more driving & more suburban sprawl.

Green Power Pricing Programs allow people to purchase solar energy without installing expensive solar panels.
Customers pay a small premium on their bill, expanding solar energy production.
Would you pay for a premium to expand solar energy production?

Cryptocurrency mining takes enormous, power-hungry servers, bitcoin mining uses energy predominantly generated from fossil fuels. Are we aware of this impact?

Am saddened that leaders in my country are busy campaigning for the upcoming election instead of putting solutions into the table to combat #ClimateCrisis
This is just the introductory effects of #ClimateChange. Honestly, I don't believe in my leaders. They have FAILED!
