"Social land reforms, i.e. recognition, restitution, redistribution, and restoration of land, that are in many places incomplete and have been neglected, are core parts of responses to climate change."-Integrating Human Rights into Climate Action

“If you look at Jenny Creek & the Klamath main stem in the Iron Gate reservoir footprint, you see tens of thousands of willows coming up. A whole riparian forest is being reborn even right now.” - Michael Belchik, Yurok Fisheries Dept Sr Policy Analyst https://t.co/VABAm3Maoh

Instead, stop the >$5 Trillion/yr Fossil Fuel Subsidies & use that $ for transition, mitigation, customary resource titling & Human Rights enforcement.

🪧 Why are people protesting at #COP29?

Here's what @collinrees of @PriceofOil told us.

"We're asking for trillions of dollars per year," he says, calling for high-quality public finance, not loans that could further burden developing nations.

?But "Agent Orange" said rents were high due to the undocumented?

Don't expect housing costs to go down anytime soon.

Wall Street firms that have been buying up hundreds of thousands of homes are celebrating Trump's victory, anticipating far less regulatory scrutiny under a Republican administration.

Be warned.

Jon Stewart urges Democrats to ditch the rule-following and take a page from the Republican playbook: start exploiting loopholes

Why was this ad not aired more?

[Waleed Shahid 🪬 @_waleedshahid]

According to @ShaneGoldmacher, Future Forward said, the following Harris ad had ranked in the “100th percentile” — meaning it was the most effective — yet it had virtually never been aired.

Ahhh & the tiny fishes working the micro currents & communities......

“People come and go
I listened to their humming
Whisper it to the fish and pebbles
I want to scream at them
I am the veins of the lands
I let the forest breathe
And you”

Stopping fossil fuel subsidies are the easiest next step.

[Forest Keeper @ForestKeeper]

#StopFossilFuelSubsidies is the lowest hanging fruit

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Fossil fuels were given over $7 TRILLION in subsidies last year: https://t.co/uBmJhBX3Xd That's $19.2 billion per day,
$799 million per hour,
$13.3 million every minute.

The first step in addressing the problem is to stop funding it. #ActOnClimate

58 countries, including China & members of the EU, have banned paraquat because of its extreme toxicity, including its connection to Parkinson’s disease. Tell EPA to follow the science & address this public health crisis by texting PARAQUAT to 43428 https://t.co/6ofDVql80P

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Tax cheating by millionaires and billionaires costs us more than $150 billion a year. That’s a staggering amount — enough to fund universal child care and then some. The IRS is doing its job by cracking down on wealthy tax cheats.

Maine's Land Use Planning Commission rejected a mining proposal for the Katahdin region. This is a major win for the Wabanaki Tribes and the people of Maine who stood up to say this is no place for a mine. https://t.co/1vCDhMwSEK
