One of the many people power acts that can help avert climate catastrophe

From Katharine Tu, of https://www.sumofus.org/:

Alan,
In the untouched outback of Australia, a coal company is starting to dig a coal mine so big and so dirty that if completed, it will seal our fate to catastrophic climate change.
Coal giant Adani is doing everything it can to build what will be one of the largest new coal mines in the world. It has ignored the objections of traditional owners, scientists and conservationists, and squeezed through every legal loophole it can.
There is hope. If we can stop Adani from getting insurance for the mine, we can stop this disastrous project in its tracks.
Which is where you come in Alan. Public pressure has already forced dozens of global insurers to rule out insuring the Adani mine.
But multi-billion dollar insurer AIG is staying silent. That’s why we need your voice -- because if enough people like you speak up, together we can force AIG to reject Adani’s mine too.
Tell AIG to insure our future and not a climate-wrecking coal mine. 
....

We’re in a race against time to stop one of the world’s biggest new coal mines from being built before it ruins our climate forever.

There’s one thing that can stop this dirty coal mine from going ahead: insurance. Tell insurance giant AIG to insure our planet’s future and NOT Adani’s mine now.
