To prevent climate disaster, 2/3 to 80% of fossil fuel reserves must be kept in the ground. The character in this photo is pushing the "Keep it in the Ground" button in the control room of the fueling pier at Pt. Molate in Richmond, California. The decommissioned Point Molate Naval Fuel Depot was a fueling station with 17 miles of pipeline and 75 underground and aboveground storage tanks with the capacity to hold 1.1 million barrels of petroleum.
The US military alone is the single largest user of petroleum in the world. Militarism is the most oil-exhaustive activity on the planet, growing more so with faster, bigger, more fuel-guzzling planes, tanks and naval vessels employed in more intensive air and ground wars. Even though the DoD is the largest institutional user of petroleum products and energy, the Pentagon has a blanket exemption in all international climate agreements.

Break Free Pacific Northwest events will continue throughout the weekend.

Countdown: Against 38,000 Tons and Environmental Catastrophe: Climate and Environmental Activists Confront Royal Dutch Shell Arctic Oil Drilling Rig Polar Pioneer in Seattle, Terminal 5, Port of Seattle, Seattle, Friday, June 5, 2015.
September 10, 2018 - San Francisco, CA - Parc55 Hotel
Hundreds gathered outside the site of the Governors' Climate and Forest Task Force meeting leading up to the Global Climate Action Summit.
From the Indigenous and Frontline communities organizing this protest: "People of the world are being led astray by polluting industries and elected officials promoting climate capitalist systems like carbon trading and carbon tax shell games. These systems do nothing to stop the fossil fuel industry from continuing to cause climate disruption. They allow the fossil fuel industry to continue to harm Indigenous people and communities around the world from extraction to transport to refining."
"Today hundreds helped us demand that our Indigenous representatives from tribes and organizations that are resisting cap and trade schemes, and instead promoting real solutions be allowed to address the Governor's Climate and Forests Task Force at the Parc 55 Hotel. Their voices were heard and they were given a chance to speak the truth [of] the tribal groups being courted by those promoting carbon trading in the place of real solutions to climate change."
This action was organized by Idle No More SF Bay, Indigenous Environmental Network, It Takes Roots, Diablo Rising Tide, Indigenous Bloc at RISE Days of Action, and Indigenous Rising Media.
