SIGN THE PETITION
This is how we make our government accountable to the people. We'll deliver your signature to tell Gov. Whitmer the will of the people is to #ShutDownLine5
Building a tunnel for Enbridge Line 5 through the Straits of Mackinac is not a solution to protect the Great Lakes, 400 other water bodies, including Lake Michigan, or our dangerously overheating climate.
Sign to protect the Great Lakes from *another Line 5 oil spill
Dear Gov. Whitmer:
An oil tunnel through the public bottomlands of the Straits of Mackinac won’t protect the Great Lakes from a 645-mile long, 73-year-old Line 5 crude oil pipeline that has leaked at least 33 times into Michigan's environment. Even when its oil isn't spilling into the water, it adds to our climate crisis when burned by spilling carbon into the atmosphere every day. The time to end the threat of a catastrophic oil pipeline rupture is now. Instead of leaving a vulnerable and hazardous oil pipeline operating in the Mackinac Straits for years while trusting a dishonest Enbridge to protect the Great Lakes, I support your action to revoke the Line 5 easement and urge you to prevent an oil tunnel from being constructed.
* Yes, Enbridge Line 5 has already spilled 33 times and 1.1 million gallons.

Right now, 6th mass extinction well underway and accelerating, to which people can not exist without Web of Life, which can not “adapt” to velocity of forced change, again, Pre Determined by capitalism.
Right now (has been and ever accelerating) beyond catastrophic tipping point, self reinforcing feedback loop within Earth Systems (Single System) tipped, FireStorms gone Runaway, HOTTER PLANET equals more Fire, no matter source of ignition, that is Common Sense, massive ghg emissions from FireStorms added to massive capitalocene emissions.
Right now (has been and ever accelerating) as capitalism has destroyed Balance of Earth, “unimaginable” increase in Lightning more than Lightning, which equals more FireStorms which equals more ghg emissions, which equals more HEAT, more FIRE.
Right now (as has been and accelerating) catastrophically overheating Earth has been forced into emitting greenhouse gases.
Right now, Oceans, “Deadly Trio”, Oceans catastrophically overheating, losing Oxygen, turning acidic.
Right now, Ice Globally Runaway melt, that means “unimaginable” shift of near incalculable weight load, mass of entire Planet shifting, that means increase Earthquakes more Powerful Earthquakes and “Sleeping Giant” Volcanoes Awakening.
Catastrophically overheating a Planet, Air, Land, Ocean, Surface, Subsurface, increase in Earthquakes should be expected, as everything Connected (cept divided conquered people) can not be disconnected.
Welcome to a much more Volatile, Violent Planet.
Right now, greenhouse gases in Atmosphere, because of capitalism christofascism imperialism militarism white supremacy patriarchy colonialism comparable to 14-16 million years ago.
Still waiting for a capitalist “meteorologist” anywhere, to tell all about the “Weather” 14-16 million years ago.
“eternal economic growth” on Finite Planet is nothing but a psychotic evil capitalists christofascists lie, so the most greedy evil motherfuckers that have ever existed, TAKE trillions of $ more from the many.
Right now (as has been and accelerating) because of catastrophic climate breakdown, again Pre Determined by capitalism/fascism “usa” communities racing to uninsurable, geographic locations to uninhabitable, as what is latest count of climate refugees in “usa”, was “estimated” 5 million or so.
Why the U.S. is leading the world in extreme weather catastrophes
“Then add climate change, and “buckle up. More extreme events are expected”

As Balance of Earth destroyed, will be nothing but ever accelerating devastatingly horrific lessens in degrowth from here on out.
