"The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now."

UN Chief António Guterres warns: don’t let #Coronavirus distract us from fighting the climate crisis.

While #COVID19 is expected to be a temporary scourge, Guterres said that climate change will “remain with us for decades and require constant action.”

Big news this! Sweden's national pension fund divests from all fossil fuels--not just coal, but oil and gas as well.
"An efficient way for the fund to manage the financial risk associated with a transition in line with the Paris agreement.”

"Why are multibillion-dollar airlines held to a budgeting standard that, if it were adopted by a typical American household, would seem totally irresponsible? And why, if they blew through all that cash, should we help them now?"

Don't bail 'em out, ffs.

This seems like a normal, totally ok election that definitely shouldn't have been postponed until we weren't in the midst of a rising pandemic

Stay tuned for updates and postponements and cancellations due to COVID19 in NC. Our swarming action for March 21st has been cancelled.

Thanks all. Now is a good time to practice community, solidarity, and mutual aid. Sharing is caring.

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

It’s not just Trump’s incompetence, it’s that for so long the leadership of the world has focused so exclusively on economic growth that a reflexive response to a pandemic crisis, endangering the health of many millions, is to worry about stimulating the economy.

[Raul M. Grijalva @RepRaulGrijalva]

The Trump administration is about to propose a multi-billion-dollar bailout for oil and gas corporations.

I asked the head of the Bureau of Land Management - which oversees #PublicLands drilling - why not fund health instead?

He had no idea and no opinion.
