COP26: Obama's Apology, Global Day of Action, Simon Kofe’s Statement

Former Pres. Obama apologizes for Trump years, Tuvalu’s foreign minister delivers statement from thigh-high sea levels, and more in today’s top stories from COP26

Starting at number five: you want to really make a statement about the rising sea water crisis, take it from the leader of the Pacific island of Tuvala. At number four: the massive climate protest at COP26 brought out the angry, concerned, and hopeful voices from around the world. At number three: health care activists are sounding off in Glasgow, urging world leaders to focus more on the health benefits of climate action. At number two: the catastrophic consequences of global warming are already here, and representatives from hard hit nations are demanding compensation. And at number 1: former President Barack Obama apologized for the Trump years, but says the U.S. is ready to make up for lost time in the fight against climate change.

The Plant Based Treaty protesters were also there!!! Because adopting a plant based diet it the most powerful thing an individual can do to help mitigate climate change. Yes, we have to put pressure on politicians as well, but you can help save the planet with your food choices 3x a day.

telling children that politics isn't gonna change until voters put enough pressure on them - now that's sassy, mr president! 😀
