It’s really important. The message to the government and public is, you have to take this high climate sensitivity seriously. [We] must get emissions down as quickly as we can #ClimateAction
The IPCC is expected to include the 5+C climate sensitivity figure in its next report on the range of possible outcomes. Scientists caution that this is a work in progress and that doubts remain because such a high figure does not fit with historical records.

 In Georgia prior to the removal of the voting rights act by the supreme court in 2013, a bill that was passed in the 60's, any reduction in polling places had to be approved by the feds, through the DOJ. @SpeakerPelosi

 All that stopped. The secretary of state in Georgia is responsible for the entire voting process which he works in part with the board of elections. The local areas may approve changes and reductions to polling places, but they do not serve as independent entities in Georgia,

@SpeakerPelosi
Sage, the administrator at the Counselor Chapter House, a Navajo local government center, was incredulous.

“In February? There’s no snakes in February,” he said.
Sage had a theory for what was happening: underground vibrations from hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, forced the snakes from their dens and on to the surface. @brigitte_bardot
