On October 4, 2016, climate scientist Dr. James Hansen and his granddaughter Sophie Kivlehan discussed a critical issue: "the assumption that young people will somehow figure out a way to undo the deeds of their forebears, has crept into and spread like a cancer through UN climate scenarios."

This conversation underscores the urgency of their paper, "Young People's Burden: Requirement of Negative CO2 Emissions" by James Hansen et al. You can download the full PDF here.

California is the world's largest consumer of Amazon rainforest oil. This extraction fuels climate change, deforestation, ocean pollution, and displaces Indigenous peoples who protect the Amazon's vital biodiversity. It also harms communities along the supply chain, including those near toxic refineries in California.

We are honored to host Indigenous Amazonian forest-protectors, sisters Nina and Helena Gualinga. Working with Amazon Watch, they urge Californians—and all of us—to #EndAmazonCrude and demand corporate responsibility for people and the planet.
