    Unless you support radical decarbonization -- 100% carbon-free energy in the U.S. by 2030 and a plan that centers justice and equity like the Green New Deal -- you are a centrist and you are risking the very existence of human civilization and I will not be quiet about this.

    Booker and Kamala support Medicare for All. Gillibrand is for abolishing ICE & the Senator who votes against Trump most. Beto wants to legalize weed, pushes hard for gun control. Calling Democrats like them "centrists" because they don't agree with you on EVERYTHING is silly.

    Reminder: the idea we can geo-engineer our way out of this warming mess has no basis in present reality. 29 European science academies did a feasibility audit of negative emissions tech, & found placing hope in them for staying under 1.5C to be absurd

    IPCC: buy less meat and cheese; eat more locally sourced food & throw less of it away; drive electric cars; walk & cycle; take trains and buses instead of planes; telecon instead of air travel; use a washing line instead of a tumble dryer; insulate homes.

    New poll: 73% of Americans believe there is "solid evidence" that global warming is occurring. 52% said that in 2010. Majorities in both parties reported that they would support a carbon tax depending on how revenues are used. Denialists are losing.

    In my on-boarding to Congress, I get to pick my insurance plan. As a waitress, I had to pay more than TWICE what I’d pay as a member of Congress. It’s frustrating that Congressmembers would deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy. Time for .

    Update : the organisers say there were actually 75,000 people marching. Most of them were ordinary citizens - the ‘people’ that extremists so often claim to represent.

    Senators, Brett Kavanaugh will not say whether a president can pardon himself. Unacceptable! No one is above the law. He is the wrong choice for America.

    Senators, now is the time: defend American women from Brett Kavanaugh’s twisted view of birth control and abortion. He will bring back coathanger abortions and criminalize thousands for what should be their own choice.

    Let us repeat once more: Average global temperature increases due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases (mostly fossil fuel CO2) in our atmosphere, and this is the result. We can, we must stop using the atmosphere as a dump site....

    The big difference between the heatwaves of 1976 and 2018. June 1976: the UK was one of the warmest places relative to normal across the globe, with most areas cooler than average. June 2018: the UK was just another warm blob in a mostly warmer than normal world. .
