Climate media studio from filmmaker Adam McKay (Don’t Look Up, The Big Short, Anchorman) because being murdered by oil companies isn’t nearly as great as they make it sound.

We need urgent action to slash planet-heating pollution.

There is hundreds of times more methane frozen in the sea floor than the amount (already cooking us) in the atmosphere.

Except, due to fossil fuel pollution spiking Earth's temperature, it might not be so frozen anymore, "raising concerns of a feedback loop that could accelerate global warming."

The Trump administration is intentionally increasing your energy bills to pay back fossil fuel campaign donors.

@whitehouse.senate.gov exposes this corruption in a must-watch speech on the Senate floor.

Climate investment is only growth opportunity of 21st century, says leading economist Lord Stern says fossil-fuelled growth is futile as the damage it causes ends in economic self-destruction

Leading economist: Continuing fossil fuels is "futile" because it leads to mass-death and economic collapse.

The fossil fuel industry's product isn't oil, or gas, or energy — it's murder and theft. Full stop.

National parks remove signs about climate, slavery and Japanese detention The removals come after President Donald Trump issued an executive order in March seeking to remove “improper partisan ideology” from federal institutions.

The Trump administration’s attacks on national parks continue

This time, they’ve removed both physical signs and website mentions describing how climate change is damaging the parks

Because if you remove the info, famously, the problem goes away

We 🔥 Moses Storm.

His time in the sauna was wacky, honest, and hilarious. In other words, it was just like a Moses Storms standup set, but with a little more sweat, and a lot more robe.

Oil companies love to call solar "alternative energy" as if it's less than oil, gas, and coal. In fact, fossil fuel is the alternative.

The sun is the source of all energy on Earth, including fossil fuels. They are a fart in the wind compared to how much energy we get continuously from the sun.

"At this pace, CA will be 100% [clean energy] 24/7/365 by 2035."

And we're barely even trying! Imagine what California (or anywhere) could do if all leaders actually called out the danger of fossil fuels, ended subsidies, and made the biggest polluters actually pay for the damage they've done.

"If you take into account the fact 60% OF FOSSIL FUEL ENERGY IS LOST WHILE CONVERTING IT TO USEFUL POWER, then Earth receives 18,000 times as much energy from the sun as would be needed to meet the current energy consumption."

Fossil Fuels are dumb, actually.

Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

No no let's keep getting our energy the way we always have:

Drill mile deep holes in the ground, pump them full of toxic fluid to get oil & gas, ship it, toxically refine it, ship it again, toxically burn it releasing pollution that heats the world to mass extinction. 🧠
