The super-rich will throw everything they've got at stopping us though. Join our movement and help us win next May:

I created this thread, as commentary on COP30. I doubt it will be understood, and will probably be seen as radical or extremist, whereas denying this reality, is the extremist and radical position. What I address here is the denial.
