Climate change is the defining crisis of our time, comparable to slavery in Lincoln's day: everyone knows it must end, but the political will is missing.
He was speaking before the U.S. Congress to confront the defining issue of his time—slavery. Everyone knew it had to end but no one had the political will to stop it. Remarkably, his words ring as true today when applied to the defining crisis of our time— climate change.
Fossil fuel companies have manipulated and dictated the science and policies on climate, and that should no longer be allowed.
it is time to declare no more talk. No more excuses. No more 10-year studies. No more allowing the fossil fuel companies to manipulate and dictate the science and policies that effect our future.

People should back leaders who speak for humanity, indigenous peoples and the underprivileged rather than for big polluters and big corporations.
We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters or the big corporations, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people who will be most affected by this
The climate crisis has grown beyond individual consumer choices and now requires decisive, large-scale action by industries and governments.
To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and our governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action.

Carbon emissions should be priced and government subsidies for oil, coal and gas companies should be ended.
We need to put a price tag on carbon emissions and eliminate government subsidies for oil, coal, and gas companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free-market economy. They do not deserve our tax dollars -- they deserve our scrutiny.

The economy cannot survive the collapse of ecosystems, and renewable energy is good economic policy.
For the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse. The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy.

Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights, and climate is a question of survival rather than a partisan issue.
This is not a partisan debate but a human one. Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
Where they publish

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
