Fighting Climate Change Means Ending War

The CNCL Team — Thu, 25 Jul 2019 02:11:25 +0000

We have to start revering the whole planet, indeed, thinking as one planet, and valuing the people on both sides of the border. All of us are equal. At some point, even the war profiteers and the politicians they presume to own must wake up to this.

The CNCL Team — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 22:57:44 +0000

From Syria to Yemen in the Middle East, Libya to Somalia in Africa, Afghanistan to Pakistan in South Asia, an American aerial curtain has descended across a huge swath of the planet.
