John Kerry launches 'World War Zero' climate activism coalition
By Marty Johnson - 11/30/19 06:17 PM EST


Former Senator and Secretary of State John Kerry (D-Mass.) is launching a new bipartisan coalition of world leaders and celebrities to push for an active strategy against climate change on Sunday.

Dubbed "World War Zero," the activist group's goal is to unite "unlikely allies with one common mission: making the world respond to the climate crisis the same way we mobilized to win World War II," according to its website.

Headlining the group are former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Kasich, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sting and Ashton Kutcher, the New York Times reports.

In total, there are over 60 founding members in the coalition.

In an interview with the Times, Kerry said that the coalition will hold town hall meetings around the country beginning in January.

"We’re going to try to reach millions of people, Americans and people in other parts of the world, in order to mobilize an army of people who are going to demand action now on climate change sufficient to meet the challenge,” Kerry told the paper.

3. they need to hold meetings at the 87 universities supporting 260 denier radio stations

87 unis broadcasting sports on 260 liimbaugh stations is really fucking stupid

those radio stations, endorsed by all those universities proclaiming their dedication to science and excellence and civic responsibility, are crapping on those universities every day, and they all deny global warming and have for 30 years

4. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Leonardo DiCaprio, Arnold Schwarzenegge are among the 60

founding members of the initiative, which aims to mobilize people to fight climate change.

Where are our elected rePuticans? 180* directly the opposite, cheering on fossil fuel use and supporting tRump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Which just goes to show the chasm in thinking. On the left, we have future far-thinking leaders and on the right, we have greedy short sighted deniers.
