These fixable methane leaks are as bad as coal plants. And they're being ignored.

Fixing them could slow climate change fast. So why hasn't it happened? These Massive Methane Leaks Would Be Simple to Fix. Instead, They Are Being Ignored and Supercharging Climate Change.      Sign Now      Annisa,   Right now, massive methane leaks are pumping poison into our atmosphere, heating the planet at a terrifying rate. Each of these "mega-leaks" can have the same climate impact as an entire coal power plant. And yet, they have been left nearly unchecked. Here's what makes this so infuriating: this isn't some complicated problem that will take decades to fix. Experts say many of these leaks are simply caused by poor maintenance. They could be fixed quickly with basic repairs and oversight.   In fact, stopping these leaks could even pay for itself, because the captured methane can be sold as fuel. And still, nothing. Methane is responsible for about 25% of global heating today, and scientists warn that its rapid rise in recent years could push us toward catastrophic climate tipping points — points of no return. But unlike carbon dioxide, methane leaves the atmosphere very quickly, meaning cutting it now could slow warming almost immediately. This is the closest thing we have to an "emergency brake" on climate change, according to experts. So why are we refusing to take action? Satellite data has exposed the truth: some of the world's worst methane leaks are coming from facilities in Turkmenistan, operated by state-owned companies like Türkmennebit and Türkmengaz. These are not hidden anymore. They are visible from space. The world is watching, and we now know where accountability must be demanded. Sign the petition to demand Türkmennebit and Türkmengaz take responsibility, repair these leaks, and stop this preventable climate disaster! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. This is one of the fastest ways to fight climate change. Tell Türkmennebit and Türkmengaz to act now.      Sign Now

He beat his puppy to death with a stick

Then, he turned on his cats. He Beat a Puppy to Death and Then Beat His Cat. Ban Him From Animals Forever.      Sign Now      Annisa,   A defenseless puppy was reportedly beaten to death with a wooden stick in a backyard in Nashville. According to investigators, a witness saw a man repeatedly strike the young dog until it died. The violence did not stop there. The same individual allegedly used the stick to attack a cat, breaking both of its back legs so severely that veterinarians had no choice but to euthanize the animal. Authorities also discovered another cat that had already been killed. This level of cruelty is shocking, deliberate, and deeply disturbing. Criminal charges will come, but they do not address the root causes of such behavior.   Sign the petition demanding mandatory mental health counseling and a lifetime ban on animal ownership in this case.   When someone commits repeated acts of extreme violence against animals, it raises serious concerns about underlying psychological instability and the risk of future harm. Without meaningful intervention and safeguards, the cycle of cruelty can continue. Mandatory, court-supervised mental health counseling can help address the underlying issues that lead to violence. A lifetime ban on owning or possessing animals ensures that no other animals will be placed in danger. Sign the petition urging the Nashville District Attorney to pursue a sentence that includes mandatory mental health treatment and a permanent ban on animal ownership. Thank you, Jess Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Animal abuse is often a warning sign of deeper instability. Sign the petition!      Sign Now

Instead of banning infamous chemical that poisons food, Trump elevated it

Glyphosate is linked to both cancer, and weapons of war. Trump Signed Order Promoting Cancer-Linked Glyphosate Weedkiller and Phosphorus, Weapon of War Sign Now    Annisa,   One of the movements that propelled Trump to power a second time was "MAHA" or "Make America Healthy Again." Followers hoped that Trump would elevate U.S. public health by doing things like banning toxic chemicals from foods and agriculture. In particular, they hoped he would ban glyphosate — a toxic weedkiller that the World Health Organization has labeled "probably carcinogenic." Instead, Trump just did the exact opposite. Last month, Trump signed an executive order — not to ban glyphosate, but to increase its production in the U.S. and even to shield its manufacturers from health lawsuits by providing limited legal immunity. Bayer — the parent company for Monsanto, which produces infamous glyphosate-based weedkiller RoundUp — have faced around 200,000 claims that its glyphosate products caused cancers. As a result, Bayera has spent years lobbying Congress and state lawmakers, trying to protect itself from legal liability. Receiving Trump's limited immunity must be a dream come true for it. All of that is bad enough. But it turns out there are even more insidious forces at play. New reporting shows that part of Trump's motivation for protecting glyphosate was also to protect military weapons. One of the ingredients used to make glyphosate is white phosphorus, a highly flammable and spontaneously self-igniting element. As a weapon, white phosphorus can create smoke screens and incendiary devices. It can also burn its way through solid metal, and even burn people. According to Trump, this execute order was created to protect U.S. national security. But food that's poisoned with cancer-causing chemicals isn't a good food supply, or a good defense strategy. Likewise, committing humanitarian atrocities isn't a good defense strategy, either.   Demand Trump immediately revoke this inhumane executive order, now! Sign the petition!     Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. When Donald Trump turned his back on the MAHA movement, he not only cozied up to corporations by protecting chemicals linked to cancer. He was also protecting a weapon of war.

Dolphin living in Venice lagoon needs protection from speeding boats

Humans don't live in lagoons; dolphins do. When we're in the water, we're in their habitats. Protect Mimmo the Dolphin, Living in the Venice Lagoon Amid Boats and Tourists Sign Now    Annisa,   A lone bottlenose dolphin, whom humans have called Mimmo, is now living in the Venice lagoon in Italy. The enthusiastic animal often leaps out of the waters, showing off its enjoyment for life and for living in the Italian waters. Mimmo is following a well-worn tradition of dolphins coming to live in the Venice lagoon. As far as researchers can tell, they believe Mimmo is healthy and has adapted well to life in the lagoon.   But the problem is that today's humans are not particularly respectful of wildlife. As a result, researchers and animal lovers alike are concerned for Mimmo's safety. The big threats to Mimmo are from people — especially boat propellers and boat collisions, and from people potentially trying to get closer to the animal. It is imperative that humans practice respect and consideration towards wildlife by keeping our distance and moving with thoughtfulness through their environments. Humans don't live in lagoons; dolphins do. When we're in the water, we're in their habitats. We must practice respect by passing stronger laws to regulate our behavior! Sign the petition to urge Italian and Venetian authorities to limit boating speeds and to keep boats away from Mimmo!   Thank you, Celeste Care2 Petitions Team P.S. As Giovanni Bearzi, a researcher who has spent 40 years studying dolphins, summarized: "We need to appreciate the opportunities to coexist with and enjoy wildlife." Sign the petition.      Sign Now
