TBH the most important video about climate came from the head of a union talking about immediate impact on workers.
As the author of a DNC #GreenNewDeal & fossil fuel ban A YEAR AGO, I can tell you both of them failed in large part due to these concerns. thehill.com/hilltv/rising/…

Should Senator Feinstein have been more diplomatic with the GND kids before offering one an internship rather than arguing? Absolutely. When I got married the advice to me was Dear Abby said when in-laws lecture you say “you’ve given me a lot to think about.” Diplomacy helps.
Thst said, I’m telling you the path forward on climate action is to LISTEN. The UN report says irreversible damage in 12 years. Some workers say the Green New Deal transition eviscerates their livelihoods in 2-5 years. So they need to come TOGETHER and LISTEN to each other.
And rather than attacking the unions — go to the communities and ask the workers what they see as a path forward. Engage them for solutions to their own situations. We are all in this TOGETHER and need buy-in from all stakeholders - from indigenous to industrial - to succeed.
A twitter flame war is so much more engaging than the ACTUAL WORK that some of us have been doing for years...
But I’m telling you as one with political scars from the climate and money fight, we need to talk urgently and respectfully or we are doomed. #ThereIsNoPlanetB

Last (for now) - let me add this piece here from June 2018 - it remains my view that being clean and green on climate and in politics is both an aspiration and a necessity. ✌🏽 medium.com/@sfpelosi/demo…
