I realize I'm a day late commenting on #ClimateNight, but still I feel compelled to say one thing: @fallontonight, @thedailyshow, @colbertlateshow, @latelateshow, @jimmykimmellive, @FullFrontalSamB, @SethMeyers, please think about the cost of rapidly eliminating fossil fuels. 👇
Fact: Escaping poverty requires using lots of low-cost, reliable energy.

Fact: only 1.5B people use even 1/3 as much electricity as the avg American.

Fact: over 3B people use less electricity than an avg American refrigerator.

The US causes less than 1/6 of global CO2 emissions—and falling. The main reason global CO2 emissions are rising is because billions of people in the developing world are bringing themselves out of poverty by using fossil fuels to power factories, farms, vehicles, and appliances.
