Climate Activist Vanessa Nakate Leads World Leaders in Moment of Silence

Climate activist Vanessa Nakate led world leaders in a moment of silence to recognize people around the world being impacted by the climate crisis. The leaders are currently meeting in Paris to work out a road map to provide climate financing and debt relief to low-income countries struggling with the impacts of the climate crisis and global warming. Reportedly, leaders are hoping for strong commitments, but not binding agreements, to come out of the summit.

Sorry for talking about unrelated stuff but recently I noticed when I saw some images in my mind or in a dream, the similar images are very likely to show up in the news in the near future. In case it can be helpful, I would like to share it. I truly hope nothing will happen and Im ready to be misunderstood.
I saw an image of a giant sequoia during daytime. I think there might be wildfire happen in the area with giant sequoia recently.
