Experts in fields ranging from public health to meteorology agree that we are in the middle of a global climate disaster which is hurting and killing millions of people annually and it will only get worse. Without immediate action, it will upend life as we know it for hundreds of millions of people. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report outlines how many of the changes we are experiencing globally "are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years." The U.S. should acknowledge the damage the fossil fuel industry causes and be a global leader. Tell President Biden, Congress, and federal climate leaders to stop giving billions of dollars in subsidies to companies that are destroying the planet and killing people. The fossil fuel industry is one of the biggest contributors to rising temperatures globally. The US must immediately end the $20 billion in government subsidies we give to these massive corporations like Exxon and Shell—and we can encourage US-based companies and our global allies to invest in a sustainable future. This global problem requires a global solution. Sign the petition demanding an end to fossil fuel subsidies.

The world's climate scientists just sounded a "red alert for humanity." The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Nobel Prize-winning body that synthesizes and summarizes the state of climate science, released a report today, and their assessment could not be clearer: 1) we are changing the climate in ways that threaten hundreds of millions of lives and are already causing irreversible damage; 2) "the worst is yet to come"; and 3) we must act immediately and on a massive scale to save lives and species from a planet set to spiral out of control. With so much that needs to change, where do we start? We start by cutting off warming at the root: We must get off of fossil fuels. Burning coal, oil, and fossil fuels is the top ingredient in the blanket of pollution warming our planet. And right now our tax dollars are actually paying companies like Exxon and Shell to destroy the planet. Today's IPCC report lays out in brutally meticulous detail what so many of us already know through our daily experience: climate change is here, and it is a life-and-death emergency. Just hours before the report was released, the Dixie fire tearing through California became the state's largest wildfire in history, blanketing the sky with smoke so thick that people in Colorado and beyond had to stay indoors to avoid dangerous air. The report is a survey of lots of specific climate studies, giving us a view of the whole forest instead of the individual trees in it. So while their findings are startling, they're not surprising to people following along. And it should be no surprise to the companies fueling our warming planet—They've known about their contribution to climate change for decades, but have chosen to pursue a coverup over a makeover. If we're going to address climate change–and we must—then we have to immediately stop giving taxpayer handouts to fossil fuel companies like Exxon. Sign the petition: end Fossil Fuel subsidies, invest in climate solutions.

Advertisements from Big Oil are polluting the public debate on climate change, and obstructing the ability of governments to take necessary steps to stop deadly emissions and pollution. Companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok are now some of the biggest online platforms for public debate that we have - and for fossil fuel polluters to greenwash their reputations and obstruct climate action. Responsible companies should not be profiting off of climate disinformation. Social media companies have already banned tobacco advertisements because of the damage they do to public health, and now Big Oil is using the same tactics as Big Tobacco to mislead the public. Emissions from fossil fuels and the subsequent pollution and climate damage are the leading cause of preventable deaths worldwide. Fossil fuel companies are using their ad campaigns to influence the debate around and block climate action. If you agree that it’s time for big tech companies to ban fossil fuel advertisements, add your name to our petition now.

Amazon wants to build a new HQ in South Africa by bulldozing over sacred indigenous land.1 And just like when Amazon tried to build a new HQ in New York City, local activists in Cape Town are pushing back. Amazon didn't choose a sacred indigenous site by accident. They know it has historical, cultural and environmental significance.2 They just want to destroy and build on it anyway. But since Amazon is a US company, they're particularly vulnerable to grassroots pressure here in the US. You can show your solidarity with indigenous activists in South Africa by calling on your member of Congress to denounce this new Amazon headquarters. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to denounce Amazon's plan to build a HQ on sacred indigenous land in South Africa! The indigenous land sits on the banks of the Liesbeek River where in the year 1510 Khoi peoples successfully fought back Portuguese intruders. The area is still a source of pride and cultural heritage for the Khoi, which also survived decades of oppression under Apartheid. But now Amazon wants to bulldoze it and build a sprawling campus. Over 50,000 residents in Cape Town signed a petition opposing the construction, but Amazon is pushing ahead anyway. That's why folks on the ground there are asking for your help! If US elected officials publicly denounce this HQ project, Amazon will face an international political and PR nightmare. Activists here in the US successfully blocked an Amazon HQ in New York City. Together you can show solidarity with indigenous activists and help block this new Amazon HQ in South Africa. Sign the petition: Tell Congress to denounce Amazon's plan to build a HQ on sacred indigenous land in South Africa! Sources: 1.

This planet is in crisis. There is no doubt about that. This is why, to reduce the pollution, in the atmosphere, we need not only to convert to electric vehicles, but to make charging ports very available. With charging ports available at grocery, department stores, as well as restaurants, cars could be charging while consumers either do their shopping, or eat a meal. As for the "limited range", I would remind gas-powered vehicle drivers that we, routinely, stop, at various towns, to fill gas tanks. IN fact, I fill my tank before leaving town, each time. The only difference is that, instead of smelly gas, we would be pumping CLEAN, non-smelly, electricity. Remember that ALL vehicles get rotten mileage, when driving INTO HEAD-winds. This is why transferring to electric, and providing charging ports, at major stores, and restaurants, is important. The United States needs to show the world that we WILL LEAD the charge to cleaner, safer, transportation. If you agree, then I would appreciate your signature.

According to the EPA, Americans generate more than 267 million tons of solid waste every year. And it costs MILLIONS just to bury it underground or ship it to another country. It doesn't work anymore. The American recycling process is BROKEN and needs to be fixed. Before it's too late.

In revealing that PFAS chemicals have been used in fracking here in PA, the Editorial Board of the Philadelphia Inquirer has done the work your state regulators have failed to do. This failure comes on the heels of so many others that a Grand Jury convened to look at the industry couldn't help but report a year ago on how badly our regulators have failed us. The Editorial Board describes DEP's attitude as "willful ignorance." That's putting it mildly. Time for an attitude adjustment at DEP for the good of all Pennsylvanians.

We need to shut down all of Trump's minions, cronies and sycophants if we hope to save the country.

The NM Cannabis Justice Project coalition feels strongly about the need for public input as these rules will affect NM’s agriculture for generations to come. We continue to ask for transparency as the community advisory board did receive the opportunity to contribute to these particular set of rules, and the current rules hold a greater threat of unlawful water transfers out of small farms, do not acknowledge NM’s vibrant and longstanding cultures, and uses loop holes for large producers to ask for variances on water leasing rights.
