In case Amazon’s public fervor for oil companies suddenly disappears and gets traded in for PDF love notes to their beloved fossil fuel costumers, here are more screenshots... if you can stomach it.pic.twitter.com/DvV0t0fgCY

In order to have a shot at staying within 1.5° warming, we must "rapidly reduce and eliminate all production and use of coal, oil, and natural gas and invent and scale up negative emissions technology."

DESTROY THE FUTURE
AWS Is How
2° warming "wld mean rising sea levels, freshwater shortages, reduced agricultural productivity, food stress, & the conflicts & emigration that come in their wake." "A lot of people will die, & not because they burn to death. It'll be because we don't have enough food & water."

The difference "between 1.5C of warming and.... 2C [is] a significantly lower risk of drought, floods, heatwaves and poverty for hundreds of millions of people."https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jan/15/immediate-fossil-fuel-phaseout-could-arrest-climate-change-study …

"Climate change could be kept in check if a phaseout of all fossil fuel infrastructure were to begin immediately, according to research." "keeping within the 1.5C limit is possible if radical action is taken immediately."

Again: Amazon has a choice. Recall the difference in devastation between 1.5 and 2 warming. Recall that "keeping within the 1.5C limit is possible if radical action is taken immediately." Now recall Amazon boasting it can help oil companies "optimize production & profitability.”

The climate science is known. The data is known. Amazon knows what's at stake yet chooses to firmly align itself on the wrong side of history. With powerful fossil fuel interests which are hell bent on making as much money as they can while they burn down our future.
