1/5 #KickBigPollutersOut shares that a record-breaking 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists are at #COP30. Their presence significantly outnumbers every single country’s delegation apart from the host Brazil.

Meanwhile, a new study just confirmed Asia’s deadly typhoons are made worse by climate change.

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.
