Waist-deep floods, ruined houses, storm surges, lost lives: this is what November has looked like for the Philippines so far. With strong typhoons coming in and out of the country every week, people are becoming more and more weary of living a life in the midst of climate chaos.
The Philippines' vulnerability to climate change is more obvious now more than ever. And so we ask: who should pay for the damages? Who should be blamed for the worsening climate crisis?

New report in @Nature assesses 1 billion tons of CO2e reductions in thousands of so called carbon mitigation projects. The result? 84% of the carbon credits issued to the investigated projects do not constitute real emission reductions #cop29 https://t.co/iMvIo4OMel

@ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion
Time to make the pay for the damage they've caused.
If you've been following us, you know that Big Oil, gas, and coal are responsible for extreme weather now ravaging communities around the world on a daily basis.
Yet they are still profiting AND sticking us with the bill.
How can we #makepolluterspay?
Never before in its history has humanity built a civilisation that had at its disposal so many different technologies to monitor, measure and predict its own collapse - yet has been so unwilling to do anything about it
A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

Those desperate to delay and deny the inevitable demise of the fossil fuel age seek to make clean energy a dirty word.
They will lose. The economics are against them. Solutions have never been cheaper or more accessible.
What's become more clear than ever is people want ambitious and transformational leadership.
A great place to start? Making every vote matter.
