<P>Hi,</P>
<P>This week, the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report
was released, and it confirms what we already know: the Earth’s climate is
getting worse more rapidly than predicted, and the window to limit global
warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is quickly closing.</P>
<P>I know this is difficult news. I also know that the fossil fuel industry will
use this as an opportunity to argue that it's too late to do anything about it.
Why? Because they want us to lose hope and give up, so they can continue
polluting our planet for profit. Because they want us to think that our fight
for a livable planet is unwinnable. <STRONG>Because to them, we pose a real
threat.</STRONG></P>
<P>The truth is, we know a thing or two about "unwinnable" fights — we've taken
on such fights before <STRONG>and won.</STRONG></P>
<P>So let's not give Big Oil what they want. <STRONG>If we stay focused, work
hard, and stick together, we WILL shut down their entire industry, and stop them
from continuing to ruin our futures. That's why I'm asking:</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><A

you chip in today? We will use your contribution to fight the fossil fuel
industry, which is directly responsible for this bad news, and work towards
deploying solutions that will prevent even worse news in the
future.</A></STRONG></P>
<P>Here's something Big Oil doesn't want you to know, Vladimir: <STRONG>there is
a lot of good news too.</STRONG></P>
<P>The first piece of good news is that we already have the technical capacity
to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This is CRUCIAL,
and really important to remember while we're doing this work.</P>
<P>The next step, of course, is to turn this technical possibility into reality,
by making 1.5°C a political imperative, by ending all fossil fuel projects, and
by deploying the solutions we have at hand to prevent further harm to our
communities and our climate.</P>
<P>That brings me to another piece of good news. Our climate movement is
incredibly powerful, and it's growing stronger every day. There is no doubt in
my mind that if we continue to grow, organise, mobilise and activate our
movement around the world to demand immediate climate action, we will take down
the fossil fuel industry.</P>
<P>I'm not trying to say that this fight won't be difficult, because it will be.
And I'm not trying to say that this crisis isn't urgent, because it is. It will
take all of us doing everything we can to prevent the worst effects of the
climate crisis. But what I <EM>am</EM> trying to say is this:</P>
<P><STRONG>I refuse to give in to despair or inaction. I refuse to let corporate
greed ruin our home. And I pledge to fight for climate justice. Are you with
me?</STRONG></P>

in today to help us in this fight of our lifetime, to maintain a livable
climate.</A></STRONG></P>
<P>Thank you for everything you do. And remember: <STRONG>the world isn't
ending, but the era of fossil fuels is.</STRONG></P>
