Fire Drill Friday

As you all know by now, we can’t burn all of the known oil, coal and gas reserves currently known to the fossil fuel companies and still have a livable climate (or in other words, stay within the remaining “carbon budget” / the 1.5 to 2 degree celsius increase range).

So then, why are fossil fuel companies still looking for more fossil fuels that they can’t ever burn without endangering human civilization and all coastal cities of the world? And why are the big Wall Street banks and other international financial institutions still investing in helping companies drill, dig and explore for even more fossil fuel reserves we can never burn?

One of the worst offenders is JP Morgan Chase, a financial institution that is one of the largest sources of capital to the fossil fuel industry in their quest to drill oceans, frack our land and build more pipelines. We cannot let Chase and so many other financial institutions continue this way! Join us for our final Fire Drill Friday to learn more about this big climate fight for 2020, and to hear a very special update about Jane and Greenpeace's plans for Fire Drill Fridays. We can't wait to see you there!
