Extreme drought, rainless thunderstorms = wildfires x climate change. We are in the middle of it, and it affects people thousands of miles away. Let’s pretend climate change is the Russian Invasion and treat it with the same amount of money and urgency. RBC stop funding this s$@&!

@MarkRuffalo I know this sounds cynical, but part of me hopes that the US pays more attention now that the more heavily populated east coast is affected.

I know out here in the west we’re tired of fires. It’s time to act.

@Aminorjourney @MarkRuffalo We’ve seen many times that major issues in the west are ignored or downplayed by the national news, while the entire nation has to hear about how their mayor sucks, for example.
@labradorgirl @MarkRuffalo I find it extraordinary. It’s as if anything west of the Great Lakes doesn’t exist.

@MarkRuffalo

Yes 100% agree. During my life on this planet, I've witnessed the loss of Biodiversity in the UK - over 50% of Birds once commonplace, now becoming rare as Hen's Teeth. This will not improve unless we Humans get our act together.

@MarkRuffalo I always appreciate a creative use of symbols in posts. 🙂
