In Climaturity, Marc Cortez advocates for a transparent climate discussion where half-truths are completed, climate science limitations are put into context, and politicians are held accountable for spending taxpayer dollars.

Tutti noi abbiamo un'idea sbagliata dei rifiuti in Italia. Se pensiamo ai cassonetti incendiati, alle strade sommerse di sacchi, se pensiamo alla tragedia della Terra dei fuochi e delle discariche fuori legge sparse in tutto il Paese dovremmo disperarci.
