Did 9/11 Kill the Climate Movement? The Truth They Don't Want You to Know | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a Truthdig report by Juan Cole analysing how the post-9/11 obsession with terrorism and endless war overshadowed the existential threat of climate change. Graham breaks down the trillions of dollars spent on Middle Eastern military interventions versus the massive human toll and economic damage of fossil fuel-driven climate change, extreme hurricanes, and ecological destruction. He advocates for a green energy transition and grassroots civic action.
