Brazil's President Bolsonaro must answer for this devastation. The Amazon creates over 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to one million Indigenous people.
Any destruction affects us all.
Our house is burning. Literally. The Amazon rain forest - the lungs which produces 20% of our planet’s oxygen - is on fire. It is an international crisis. Members of the G7 Summit, let's discuss this emergency first order in two days! #ActForTheAmazon
John Hickenlooper, the former Colorado governor who ended his presidential campaign last week, announced he would run for a United States Senate seat. It instantly makes him one of the Democrats’ best hopes in their quest to retake the chamber next year. https://t.co/9CGN733pSi
People are deliberately starting fires in the #AmazonRainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching

“The nation’s hot spots will get worse, absent a global plan to slash emissions of the greenhouse gases fueling climate change. By the time the impacts are fully recognized, the change may be irreversible.”

Now that the craziness is over, the work begins.
There is so much at stake here; we are fighting for our identity, for our right to be seen, to BELONG.
Eternally grateful to Marvel, to Kevin, Jonathan and Destin for this gift.
@awkwafina LET’S GET TO WORK BABYYYYY!!!

Two nights of #DemDebate, only ~15 total min (out of 240!) on the greatest threat to civilization as we know it.
Only 1/2 of the candidates were asked about their plan to transform our economy & stop the climate emergency.
@DNC: schedule a #ClimateDebate. 🆘
We have a president who believes in science fiction. I believe in science fact. Climate change is real and we're in the midst of a climate crisis. We need a #GreenNewDeal and as president, on day one, America will rejoin the Paris Agreement. #DemDemate
I think I've changed my mind on the need for a climate debate. I see the DNC's point that it opens up a set of asks for other specifically themed debates. BUT there is just nothing like the climate crisis and no way to wrestle with its scope in the context of a general debate.
