Lately I've been feeling cynical and even a bit "doomerist."
So recently I asked 25 climate leaders a question: "Has there been any progress on climate action in 2022?"
Here's what I learned:

We obviously can't get rid of 1.25 billion cars every year until 2030.
So how do we reduce emissions by 30 gigatonnes of greenhouse gas each year?
The good news is smart folks have figured this out.
If we focus on just 6 sectors, we can do it.👇

So I'm a high school teacher & track coach. Let me tell you something about Covid & high school kids.
Even a mild case of Covid has a big effect. I have a good track athlete who had Covid, & his lung capacity for track (mid distance) is damaged from Covid.
Just wanted to share.

This #MLKDay, I will not accept empty promises in pursuit of my father's dream.
I do not want to see photo ops of elected officials if they are not willing to put voting rights over the filibuster.
Today is a day of service and action.
Congress must #DeliverForVotingRights.

Trump wants to install loyalists in local office who will cheat. It’s a coup being organized in plain sight. I’m giving Run for Something five thousand bucks today, because they recruit and support pro democracy candidates. Can you please help? Thank you. secure.actblue.com/donate/rf…

“I think the tragedy is that we have a Congress with a Senate that has a minority of misguided senators who will use the filibuster to keep the majority of people from even voting.“ - MLK
59 years later, we are facing the same tragedy.

We won't have a functioning democracy without climate action; we won't have climate action without a functioning democracy. We have to tackle both — or else we have neither.

Today is a wonderful day to start a weekly habit of checking to make sure you are still on your state voter roll.
If you find your name wrongfully purged, simply re-register.
They cannot lawfully purge your name twice in an election cycle.

Climate Change is caused by market failure.
The companies whose products and processes produce greenhouse gases don't pay for the consequences of rising temperatures.
If you believe in the free market, you should be furious about polluting companies getting a free ride!

No dilution via "both sides."
No "critics say."
No turning facts into opinions.
Just a straight up warning.
Listen to it.
