    📣A quien escribió esto: para empezar Olsen no lleva tilde. Además, en el texto faltan 6 tildes, sobra 1 punto, faltan 2 mayúsculas y hay 2 errores de redacción. La próxima vez que circule algo falso a mi nombre que por lo menos se lo revise mi maestra de Español de 3er grado.

    You will be welcomed back to #ParisAgreement, USA! Even as the White House went dark, US citizens, public & corporate leaders kept the light. Today that light turns into a beacon for accelerated #ClimateAction everywhere. Onward w/ renewed vigor!

    “We need to remove the verb believe. There’s no believing in climate change. If you don’t ‘believe’ in gravity or that earth is round it still affects you. Either you understand climate science or not, but there isn’t believing, this isn’t religion”#GlobalOptimism #ClimateAction

    "Climate change is not a religion—it's not about 'believing' in it or not. It's about understanding. You either understand climate science and climate change or you don't." - @CFigueres #ClimateAction #UmichTalks

    Thank you, United States! The election of @JoeBiden is huge not just for America, but for the world. Here’s how it landed with @CFigueres to see that the US is on it’s way back into the #ParisAgreement #ElectionDay @UNFCCC

    This is the 'Volkswagen 2015' moment for the #COP28 Presidency.   Caught red handed, the COP Presidency has no other option but to now unequivocally step up the transparency, responsibility and accountability with which they lead the process. [1/2]
