Dear Friend,
We have only few years left to prevent climate catastrophe. Last week,
Greta Thunberg led four million people in taking to the streets in the
largest climate protest ever. Yet the corporate media still refuses to
treat climate change as a major front page news story. Common Dreams is
able to give the climate crisis the coverage it deserves because we're
an independent nonprofit that is not beholden to corporate advertisers.
We're going to keep news about the climate emergency on our home page,
and we're going to hold all of the corporate interests contributing to
the crisis to account. Will you donate to Common Dreams and keep the
climate crisis in the spotlight?

Climate activist Greta Thunberg sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to take
to the streets with thousands of fellow teenagers in New York to call on
leaders to make real, substantive change to address the rapidly warming
earth. She sat in front of the UN and gave a talk to representatives
from around the world, admonishing them for putting the economy over the
wellbeing of the planet and future generations. But Donald Trump wasn't
there to hear it. Instead, Trump led a session on 'religious freedom' at
the UN at the same time, purposely snubbing the climate protestors. But
none of the major media outlets mentioned Trump skipping the meeting on
their front pages. Scientists have been clear that we are just a decade
away from a climate catastrophe, and we are already seeing signs now.
Category 5 hurricanes are now the norm. Wildfires are sweeping across
the West Coast and Alaska, and flooding is destroying crops. We are
running out of time to act—it is either reverse course on energy and get
off oil immediately, or millions of people will suffer. If any other
brewing conflict threatened this many lives, it would be on every front
page. But we aren't at war with another country—we are at war with
industry polluters and corporations that care too much about profits to
stop killing the planet. And many of those corporations own media
outlets, so it's no wonder climate change isn't in their big headlines.
Common Dreams doesn't have corporate investors, and we'll never bury
climate science. We will continue to sound the alarm to make sure people
know the truth about the climate emergency and what is needed to address
it. Will you donate to Common Dreams and help share the facts about
climate change?
