Payments for "loss and damage" to nations hit hard by #ClimateChange will be a big topic at #COP27. This is a matter of climate justice. Good overview from @saraschonhardt. eenews.net/articles/5-thi…

Your vote matters! Did you know that over 1 million Wisconsinites sat out the 2020 presidential election, when Biden won Wisconsin by 20,000 votes? The future of climate policy in Wisconsin is being determined by scarcely 1% of us!

"If this perceived flaw is corrected, @rewiringamerica found that US households would spend an average of $596 on heating their homes with an electric heat pump this winter, rather than an average of $1,359 as the report concluded." @maxinejoselow washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

My greatest climate concern is upcoming #midterm2022 elections. If we lose our Democracy, we won't get it back. W/out climate leadership from U.S. (world's largest historical polluter), global climate action will falter. Vote like a livable planet depends on it. Because it does.
