Almost every child on Earth is now exposed to at least one major climate hazard — heatwaves, floods, droughts, storms, or wildfires. The people who contributed least to the crisis are suffering first and worst. Climate justice isn’t optional. It’s the only path forward.

Most people don't understand the size of the US national debt. If the US owed $1 million and paid it off at $1 a second it would take roughly 11 days. $1 billion would take roughly 32 years. $40 trillion (the current debt) at $1 per second will take almost 12.7 million years.
