Remember, #capital does not care about #prices, it cares about #profits. #Renewables are cheaper than #fossilfuels, but they are not as profitable.

We need a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty (FFNPT) See the initiative that Pacific Nations are working on. Councils can be involved.
#climatechange #fossilfuels #government #politics
Encourage councils to endorse the initiative. Scroll down on the cities page to "want your city to do more?" to access a tool kit. There are plenty of printable resources to inform councils.
