🚨 The new #COP29 climate finance goal just dropped—$250B/year by 2035—and it's unacceptable.
❌ Falls far short of the trillions needed.
❌ No commitment to grants—just more debt.
It's time for justice, not loans. Watch, share, and join the call for real #ClimateFinance. The fight isn’t over yet.

1/4 BREAKING NEWS 11/15: Californians rallied in SF to stop a corroded/once-failed oil pipeline from restarting after nine-years idle. It’s up to @TheCACoast to do the right thing to protect enviro and public HEALTH!
3/4 According to Santa Barbara County’s preliminary analysis, the pipeline risks a spill once a year and a rupture every four years.
4/4 @TheCACoast should continue holding Sable accountable with strong oversight. The commission already had to issue two notices of violation to stop unpermitted work in the coastal zone. Now, they should ensure the law is followed.

Good News! Did you know that "California has used a quarter less natural gas to generate electricity this year than last because its solar panels and batteries have finally achieved critical mass"? Wow! cjr.org/analysis/bill-mckibb…
Imagine if Big Oil had acted on climate warnings in 1954. Instead, WSPA buried the science, fueling decades of delay and denial. New docs reveal the shocking truth. #WSPAKnew #BigOilCoverUp #MakePollutersPay
