Wow! Just Wow! 700 marches, 600,000 people on 7 continents demand #EndFossilFuels – Oil Change International
Wow! Just Wow! 700 marches, 600,000 people on 7 continents demand #EndFossilFuels – Oil Change International: Over seven hundred climate protests and marches were held in over 60 countries over the weekend, with an estimated six hundred thousand people demanding urgent action on climate and the ending of fossil fuels.
Demonstrations were held from Antarctica to the North Pole. On seven continents, mothers, daughters, dads, kids, their grandparents, concerned citizens, politicians and scientists all came together united in solidarity demanding the end of the fossil fuel age.
The message to world leaders was united and emphatic: a commitment to phase out fossil fuels at the UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ upcoming Global Climate Ambition Summit, which starts in New York City on September 20.
Under the hashtags, #EndFossilFuels #FastFairForever, march after march, protest after protest, argued that this meeting in New York presents a critical opportunity for tangible action to keep fossil fuels in the ground. Literally, from all corners of the world people screamed: It is time to keep it in the ground.

Head of Alberta commission on Rocky Mountain coal mining concerned over new applications
At least two members of the group that recommended a pause on coal mining in Alberta’s Rocky Mountains are concerned the province’s regulator appears to have accepted applications to renew a project that has already been denied.
“It is very concerning that this application appears to have been accepted,” said Ron Wallace, who headed a nine-month public investigation into how Alberta should deal with proposals for open-pit coal mines on the eastern slopes of the Rockies — a commission that recommended a moratorium on such development the government quickly enacted.
Last week, the Australia-based company Northback Holdings — formerly known as Benga Mining Limited and part of Australian parent company Hancock Prospecting — resurrected a proposal for the Grassy Mountain steelmaking coal mine in southern Alberta, applying for three licences from the Alberta Energy Regulator allowing them to divert water, drill and run a coal exploration program.
That’s despite a ministerial order issued under former environment minister Sonya Savage.
That order says no new applications will be accepted until land use planning for the area is complete or until the regulator receives a letter from either the province’s energy or environment ministers authorizing it.
“The recommendations from the coal committee were very clear,” said Wallace.
