Fossil fuel corporations have known for decades that burning coal, oil and gas causes climate change. The solution – clean renewable energy – exists and is ready to go. But the fossil fuel industry and its allies have prioritised their profits over our safety and done everything they can to delay the transition to clean energy. Now we’re in a climate emergency – and we can’t afford to wait any longer.
