Public Comment: "We must oppose the unprecedented evil of our governments who are in full knowledge of the science of climate destruction and yet do not act and promote, subsidize fossil fuels and pollution. Oppose your government on the streets, workplace, home...everywhere. we must demand justice in the courts and occupy these places with our demands until met."

(Public Comment) Hello Peter, thank you so much for releasing this town hall recording about our clashing with the climate and biosphere. I imagine that it can feel these videos don't do much work, but you have changed a few mindsets (among them, my own) and I want you to know your work has been affecting my small area of the world. The references provided in the lecture were good, informative reads and I recommend others to - even briefly - check them out. We must understand that as citizens and humans, we do affect each other and we must stand up together in large and small ways to direct our societies/economies/politics towards a just and humane future, rather than a ruined one.
