In #NYC and elsewhere, #ClimateProtesters say pace of change isn’t fast enough

By SETH BORENSTEIN

NEW YORK (AP) — "Six years after a teenage #GretaThunberg walked out of school in a solitary #Climate{rotest outside of the Swedish parliament, people around a warming globe marched in youth-led protest, saying their voices are being heard but not sufficiently acted upon.

"Emissions of heat-trapping gases and temperatures have been rising and #OilAndGas drilling has continued even as the protests that kicked off major weeklong climate events in New York City have become annual events. This year, they come days before the #UnitedNations convenes two special summits, one concentrating on #SeaLevelRise and the other on the future.

"The young people who organized these marches with #FridaysForFuture said there is frustration with inaction but also hope. People marched in #Berlin, #RioDeJaneiro, #NewDelhi and elsewhere, but the focus often is in New York City because of #ClimateWeekNYC. Diplomats, business leaders and activists are concentrating their discussions on the money end of fighting #ClimateChange — something not lost on protesters.

"'We hope that the government and the financial sector make polluters pay for the damage that they have imposed on our environment,' said #Uganda Fridays for Future founder #HildaFlaviaNakabuye, who was among a few hundred marching in New York Friday, a far cry from the tens of thousands that protested in a multi-group mega-rally in 2023.

"The New York protest wants to take aim at 'the pillars of #FossilFuels” — companies that #pollute, banks that fund them, and leaders who are failing on climate, said Helen Mancini, an organizer and a senior at the city’s Stuyvesant High School."

I’m a huge fan of MINI and I think this is a big step to bringing more people to the brand. The interior looks amazing but the range isn’t where it needs to be.
I’m hoping to see it in person this week and get a video. Let me know your thoughts and questions.

This #ClimateWeek, I've noticed that the #nuclear lobbying industry on social media has been trying to #GreenWash their bread & butter.

Just try to keep this in mind if nothing else as they do: Jaw-dropping: the United Kingdom is spending $3 billion/year, for 100+ years, to decommission the nuclear plants that they already have with still no waste storage plan!

Every dollar towards nuclear vastly delays decarbonization compared to that same money invested into renewables and transmission.
