Lots of respect for Coco Gauff and her reaction to the climate protesters who disrupted the US Open yesterday
Coco Gauff says she believes in climate change & can’t be mad at the protesters:
“I believe in climate change. I don’t know exactly what they were protesting.. I 100% believe there are things we could do better. Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100%. It is what it is.. moments like this are history defining moments. I wasn’t pissed at the protesters. I always speak about preaching what you believe in. It was done in a peaceful way. I can’t get too mad at it.. if that’s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard I can’t really get upset at it.” ❤️

🗞️Hot off the press @NatureComms📢:
Americans think a minority in the US are worried about climate change & support climate policy—it's really a super majority.
This “False Social Reality” is near-universal in the US & fully inverts the true norm: nature.com/articles/s41467-0… 1/3
