...the group that this article writes about is called 'Declare Emergency'

Their website is https://www.declareemergency.org/

This is a statement from their website:

"Billions of people will starve to death in the coming decades, as elites fill our atmospheric “gas chamber” with fossil fuels for power and profit. Our food systems will break down. Billions will be forced out of their homes and countries. This means war, starvation, slaughter, and rape on a global scale. And the collapse is coming here, too.

The science is clear: the use of fossil fuels must end, immediately, if we hope to survive. Instead of leading the transition, our government gambles our future on unproven technologies and hopeful thinking… while quietly continuing to fund and faciliate the fossil fuel death project.

This is genocidal. This is criminal. This is insane.

We come together and offer resolute non-violent resistance to the fossil fuel madness of the present moment. We still have two to three years in which we can avert the worst consequences of the climate catastrophe.

What will you do in these two to three years?"
