Fossil fuels are causing irreversible planetary overheating. Overheating threatens essentially all life on Earth . Oil and gas executives knew this but they chose to systematically lie and block a climate transition. They continue to make this choice. Humanity already has the technology to quickly transition away from fossil fuels; solar has been cheapest way to produce electricity for half a decade now.
Billions of human lives are on the line, but our institutions, laws and social systems have not yet realized this.
The moral injury they’ve perpetrated is also a lever for change, says Kalmus .
Civil disobedience is one of the best ways I know to connect with people and bring them into the movement.
