Make some time to read this. Maybe make a cup of tea first. (They say that validation - having your fears acknowledged - is part of the process of 'caring' for our climate grief/anxiety. I'm glad I read this today.)

Badvertising🚨 NEW REPORT: FIFA's biggest climate impact isn't flights or stadiums. It's promoting polluters. Our new briefing finds FIFA's deal with Aramco alone is estimated to induce 34.7 million tonnes of CO₂e – almost 4x the emissions of the entire World Cup. www.cooldownclimate.org/latest/the-w...
