The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years.
CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kids’ futures.
Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.

This corrupted, neoliberal idea of government…
Swarming with lobbyists & drowning in corporate money.
Serving shareholder profit instead of people & planet.
It’s a cancer that belongs to the bin fire of history.
And more & more people are waking up to this.

There is SO MUCH MONEY!
The government is only “cash strapped” because it chooses to be.
And it only ever chooses to be when it means helping working people, children, disabled people, old people, refugees & the ecosystems that keep every single one of us alive.

Our world is at its hottest in around
125,000 years.
CO2 levels their highest in MILLIONS of years.
We’re looking at tipping points, 4C & a billion deaths this century.
It’s not unreasonable to demand politicians work flat out tackling this, instead of serving the corporations profiting from it.
