Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

“Climate Clock” Shows Less Than 7 Years to Prevent Catastrophe

HeadlineJul 25, 2022

Here in New York City, activists declared Friday a “Climate Emergency Day” as they observed the famous Climate Clock in Union Square ticking down from seven years to six years. The clock marks the estimated time left to keep global heating below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Speaking with ABC’s “This Week,” former Vice President Al Gore said on Sunday that extreme weather events will get even worse without immediate action on climate.

Al Gore: “If we don’t stop using our atmosphere as an open sewer and if we don’t stop these heat-trapping emissions, things are going to get a lot worse. More people will be killed, and the survival of our civilization is at stake.”
