Hey fam! Just wanted to share some exciting news! 🌍
Delegates at the UN climate talks have unanimously agreed to transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels! This is a huge WIN! When we come together, we can create real change.

Deadliest wildfires to hit America in 100 years.
We’re meeting the IMMEDIATE NEED of the thousands of people & families who’s lives have been destroyed.
We created the #PeoplesFundOfMaui where EVERY DOLLAR 💵 will GO DIRECTLY TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL affected by this tragedy.
I donated $5 million.
That cash will go directly to people affected -immediately.
And plan to raise and donate much more.
To our people of MAUI affected by these deadly fires, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign up ⬇️

We created this fund for YOU.
STAY STRONG, MAUI!

Happening now…with @risestjames and being held against our will in Louisiana. Doing a toxic tour and not able to leave this back road. Our teams are aware of the situation. This is crazy.
Residents in Atlanta could finally have a chance to vote on "Cop City" if organizers can get 75K signatures for a referendum. @EamonWhalen reports: https://t.co/bf4DsuySek
Atlanta residents have made it clear that they are against #CopCity.
Over a thousand people turned out to speak on Monday. The next step is a week of action at the end of June, and working on a referendum.
All Power To The People ✊🏾

“In Finland, the # of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” https://t.co/EH3reri9lz
After seven long years, the SLAPP suit that endangered @Greenpeace's ability to do its vital work is over!

"Why was 1934 the warmest year in the US?" I was asked today. Climate scientists often get strawman questions. so my response is, "It wasn't." But then ask, "Why do you think it is?" to turn the conversation to the motivation--which is what really matters! https://t.co/jHo61hBHMF
It's not easy communicating a technical report like the @IPCC_CH 6th synthesis that came out yesterday. A key is figuring out how to connect the numbers/ abstract concepts with what is relatable to everyone. Here's my 2 min stab at it in today's Berardelli Bonus @WFLA
