The world will likely exceed 1.5℃ of warming, but urgent action can still limit harm. At COP31, countries must cut emissions, help communities adapt, and address unavoidable lossesβ€”especially for those least responsible for climate change. on.nrdc.org/483Zx8t

When gas pipelines and equipment leak, everyone losesβ€”there are more cancer-causing pollutants, worse climate disasters, and companies losing their product. The EPA’s plan to weaken this methane safeguard puts our health at risk while giving a free pass to a few rogue oil and gas companies. abcnews.com/Business/wireSto…
