 About 3,000 were killed on September 11. We still talk about it every single year.

 The other day, an estimated 18,000-20,000 people were killed by oil and gas corporations through climate change and almost nobody I know has even heard about it.

18,000-20,000 people.

From a single flood.

I know we are all numb, now, but 18,000 to 20,000 people just died in a SINGLE climate event.
