It is striking how many daily headlines are talking about events that were exacerbated by climate change. Here is just a short rundown from today as an example of the many many ways climate change is affecting us HERE and NOW. Please add any I missed. (Thread)
Feel sick to my stomach after reading the richly reported story by fellow @ucbsoj alum @dgelles about GOP state treasurers colluding with the fossil fuel industry to stymie life-saving climate action.
NEW: Republican treasurers are working with dark money conservative groups to promote fossil fuels and slow efforts to combat climate change.
I reviewed +10,000 pages of emails and documents that revealed their tactics, and ties to the oil industry.

NEW: Over 70% of Californians are vaccinated with at least one dose.

Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our natâl infrastructure to climate change is âunrealisticâ & âtoo expensive.â
As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do?

Great piece in @sciam making the case for carbon fee & dividend:
