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.

Having a moment over what must be the most watched Barkley clip of all time. What strikes me, beyond the outstanding courage & elite performance from Jasmin, is the wonderful support & joy we see from Konrad, who urges her to the end & then retreats for her to have her moment 🌟
