Some in the tropics, are experiencing winter like conditions. A hitherto unknown phenomenon. Awesome insightful presentations.
Ridiculous divisive nonsense. Stop dividing groups against each other. We are all in this together.
Genuine question, how is this dividing/putting people against each other? If anything it’s seeking to inform on the inequality in climate crisis to work on giving everyone the same opportunities because, as you said, we are all in this together.
Maybe you’re referring to the fact that climate change affects everyone (which it does), but it’s important to point out that it doesn’t affect everyone equally and do something about it.
