Corporations want no action that restricts their chance to profit from the expanded use of fossil fuels.  In response, citizens and scientists are responding to government obstruction and corporate-sponsored misinformation campaigns by creating digital dispatches in a series of “Climate & Sea-Level Updates” to communicate experiences and best practices around the world.

Most work in one of the 10,000 local companies that produce wheat, fruit and wine. The conditions are often terrible, with working days lasting 14 hours – for three euros an hour.
