Why Climate Denial Is a Human Rights Violation

Exxon, the fossil fuel industry, and their colossal denial scheme enabled runaway climate change with severe impacts on people all over the world — not just in the U.S.“We’ve been affected for so long by storms, droughts … by extreme weather, now made worse by climate change. We just want to live a decent and peaceful life, without fear and being at the mercy of big corporations that only care for their profits. Our only choice is to defend our rights. We want those most responsible to be held accountable. We want justice and to regain the ability to protect the little that we have left for our children.” -Typhoon survivor Veronica “Derek” Cabe

Radioactive reindeer in Norway are a stark reminder of the Chernobyl legacy

The Chernobyl disaster zone could be about to become the world’s biggest power plant

The site of the world’s most destructive nuclear meltdown could be resurrected as a power plant once again – but this time harvesting solar energy. The exclusion zone that surrounds the site of the Chernobyl nuclear power station could be turned into the world’s biggest renewable power plant, according to Ukraine’s government. When the plant had a meltdown in 1986 it led to the deaths of an estimated 100,000 people, and has caused continuing problems for the animals in the area.
