One of my US Senators, Sen. Laphonza Butler, recently introduced legislation to “establish Youth Advisory Councils at key environmental agencies to elevate youth voices in federal climate policy.” This is a great idea. As she says in her press release — https://www.butler.senate....

I didn't get to it until just now. At least I got to it: it’s Friday, so I checked out my Senators’ and Representative’s press releases and Twitter/X feed to see what leadership they’ve provided addressing #ClimateChange over the past week.

"The rule of law means that laws are made according to established procedures rather than a leader’s dictates, and that they are reasonable. Laws are enforced equally. No one is above the law, and everyone has an obligation to obey the law."

Stopping burning stuff to generate power is a good idea when it comes to the climate. And, it turns out, it’s a good idea when it comes to our brains. There’s new evidence that airborne pollutants drive dementia and cognitive decline. https://www.openmindmag.or...

Here's some GOOD #climate news, courtesy of Dr. Katharine Hayhoe:

While it may feel subtle or almost imperceptible at times, a lot has changed over the last decade. Just 10 years ago, 0.7% of cars sold around the world were electric vehicles. Today, 20% are.

54 years ago on this day 20 million Americans took to the streets—ten percent of the then population—and really gave birth to the modern environmental movement. Bill McKibben gives us a round up of some of the good #climate news. https://billmckibben.subst...

A new study released last week in Nature examines data from 1,600 regions of the earth for the last forty years, and concludes that by 2050 climate change will be causing economic damage worth $38 trillion every single year. That’s right, with a T. https://www.nature.com/art...

Should we build new nuclear energy plants to curb our GHG emissions? The answer is, It's complicated.

Here -- https://www.theclimatebrin... -- is an excellent article about it, and (I know this doesn't seem possible) the comments are helpful, too.

Why are Christian nationalists spouting theories about the #eclipse (with extra New York earthquake thrown in)? Fear. If they can make you afraid, they can more easily manipulate you. Don't let them.

“Let’s just plant more trees.” Unfortunately, that’s not a true climate solution—because the climate is tricky.
