*[Enwl-eng] Antarctica is too hot

[ENWL]

            Hi,

            The heatwave in Antarctica has broken all records. It’s a 
terrifying taste of what’s to come if we don’t act now.

            It’s time to pull the plug on the fossil fuel industry driving 
climate change.

            And we’ve got a plan to do it. Together, we can force banks to 
stop financing climate chaos. But we can’t fund this plan without your help.

            Can you chip in a special monthly gift to take on the big banks 
funding climate change?

            Donate $1 monthly now
            Donate $2 monthly now
            Donate $4 monthly now
            Donate another amount monthly
            No thanks, but I'll make a one-time donation

            Thanks for all that you do,

            Will, Anna, and the team at SumOfUs

            We just watched Australia burn for five months. Now Antarctica’s 
set a record for its hottest temperature in history… for the second time in 
a week!

            The climate emergency is destroying our planet, right now, and 
somehow getting worse every day.

            Yet the worst offenders behind it -- a rotten, predatory 
financial sector that has poured an unbelievable $1.9 trillion into fossil 
fuels in the last 3 years alone -- are flying completely under the radar.

            We’re going to change that.

            SumOfUs has a plan to build a crack team of climate campaigners 
to expose the financial industry’s responsibility for climate chaos, then 
run massive campaigns in the media and with shareholders to force them to 
change. We’ll shine the spotlight on these giants like never before.

            It could be a turning point for the planet, but we can’t do it 
without your help. Will you chip in monthly to hold the worst climate 
criminals to account?

            Donate $1 monthly now
            Donate $2 monthly now
            Donate $4 monthly now
            Donate another amount monthly
            No thanks, but I'll make a one-time donation

            Scientists are losing it, saying “We’ve never seen anything like 
this.” But household names like JPMorgan Chase, Citi, and Bank of America 
just carry on with business as usual.

            The companies they shower with loans, investment, and insurance 
are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions. If the banks just 
defunded fossil fuels, it could literally reset our global economy.

            Right now the financial incentives are too high for them to 
change. We need to change the calculation, by making these banks as famous 
for fueling climate chaos as they are for plastering their names all over 
sports stadiums. Here’s how we’ll do it:

              a.. Build a team of expert climate defenders to run 
mega-campaigns that expose the worst offenders;
              b.. Make the CEOs famous for their personal role in climate 
destruction, hounding them at public appearances and splashing their faces 
on billboards and in the media;
              c.. Organize employees of targeted investment banks to oppose 
their companies’ policies from the inside;
              d.. File shareholder resolutions around the world to change 
the rules for investing in favor of the planet.
            These banks are the root of the climate crisis. If we’re going 
to save the planet, this has to work.

            We know it can work because we’ve done it before, convincing 
insurance giant AIG to end its underwriting of a disastrous, 
climate-wrecking coal mine near the Great Barrier Reef. So let’s do it 
again --

            Will you chip in monthly and fund this plan to take on the big 
banks wrecking our climate?

            Donate $1 monthly now
            Donate $2 monthly now
            Donate $4 monthly now
            Donate another amount monthly
            No thanks, but I'll make a one-time donation

            The plan is ambitious and bold, I know. But ambitious and bold 
is the only thing that will save life on Earth -- and your support today can 
help make it happen.


            Thanks for all that you do,
