We can’t rely on those who created climate change to fix it, says climate justice organizer Ozawa Bineshi Albert. An Indigenous woman living in the heart of oil and gas country in the US, she’s observed an alarming disconnect between empty promises made by corporations and the actual needs of communities on the ground. In this call for urgency and a shift in values, she advocates for climate policy to center frontline leaders and outlines some grassroots-led projects — from water protection efforts in Minnesota to off-grid solar power in Arizona — that have already sparked real change.

    We can’t rely on those who created climate change to fix it because they have been dead for thousands of years.

    although the climate is and always changes so can’t really blame humans.

    Well Pocahontas as an indigenous person, one would think you’d look up ever once in a while. Because if you did you’d see things called Stratospheric Aerosol Injection trails that ex C.I.A. director John Brennan described in his YouTube video which you can find by searching “John Brennan on S.A.I.”
    And challenge yourself to look at ALL the scientist that are calling climate change a big hoax. Try looking up “Air Force 2025” that’s one that the military goal of owning the weather by 2025. And there’s plenty more. But you have to look.

    The ice caps have been melting since the last ice age ended, If climate change didn’t happen most of the northern hemisphere would be under 2 miles of ice and American tribes would not have been able to settle there. Yes we are speeding up the process, but it is inevitable, the earth is always changing and will not stop just because we wish it. We have to adapt just like our ancestors did. The same bastards that made money off oil are now milking global warming hysteria.

    Climate change is a racket that people use to make money.
    Climate change will never Be over because too many people make money off of exploiting climate change fears.
    climate change activists are looking for a solution like a thief looks for a cop.

    What’s amazing is, a lot of democrats and some republicans strive and encourage climate initiatives. But push for war agendas and nuclear missile confrontation that would destroy populations, animals etc, and destroy the climate and ozone.

    Tell all the dead Texans how well solar and wind work during a bad winter. Those solar farms use toxic materials and take up vast areas of property and flat don’t work when the sun is down or behind clouds. Tell it to the children that are having their lives shortened by mining toxic materials for your solar projects.

    Without drastic population reduction, clean inexpensive nuclear energy is the only option.
    But we can’t trust our leaders.
    Our leaders can’t trust the other leaders of the world.
    So, nuclear energy is kept dirty, dangerous, and much more expensive than it should be.
    What use will people be when they are replaced by AI, robots, and automated factories?
    What is the easiest solution from the point of view of the ultra rich elite?
    What is the best solution for people who value life?
    How long do you have before someone else’s so called solution is forced upon you?
    When their solution makes everything worse what will they push upon us all next?
