Fossil fuel behemoth BP made $13.8 billion in profits last year.

To put that number in context:
• Suppose you make the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. (Yes, the federal minimum wage is still stuck where it was 15 years ago.)
• You work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. (No vacation for you!)
• It would take 915,119 years to earn $13.8 billion. (And that could hardly be considered profits. You would have been scraping by. For almost a million years. Which is about three times longer than human beings have actually existed.)

400 Climate Scientists Endorse Call to Halt Fossil Fuels Ahead of Major <span class="caps">NYC</span> Climate March

Ahead of a March to End Fossil Fuels in New York City on Sunday, some 400 scientists endorsed the demands of the march in an open letter to President Biden, blasting him for claiming he would “listen to the science” while his policies “fail to align with what the science tells us must happen to avert calamity.” We speak with Rose Abramoff, an Earth scientist and one of the signatories, who was arrested last week blocking construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline. “We feel like the science has come to such a complete consensus and we just want fossil fuels to stop,” says Abramoff. “I wouldn’t feel the need to risk my job with activism, to risk felony level charges by locking myself to a pipeline drill if I felt like the voice of the scientific community was being properly heard.”
