It feels important to remind everyone that if the Democrats don't manage to pass the climate portions of the BBB this year, they will have been a complete and spectacular failure on climate during what is arguably the last chance to put the US on a non-disastrous trajectory.
I know it's difficult to concentrate these days, but this really is the most important moment in climate politics that we're likely to live through, and we're blowing it. Everything I said here is still true: volts.wtf/p/crunch-time-…
Good to see so many commenters getting right on the job of establishing that it's not the Democrats' fault. That's the key thing here. If they can hold themselves blameless, then maybe the storms & droughts won't kill as many people.
All these years of work to hash out climate plans, to pressure Democrats, to push the issue to the top of the agenda -- it's all about to go up in smoke. These next few months will decide everything. Everyone's exhausted, but this is the time to shout. nytimes.com/2022/03/02/cli…
As I've said many times, after the '22 midterms, everyone can relax & take a break from shouting, because federal climate action will become impossible for what is likely to be a decade or longer. We are living through the last few months in which political pressure can matter.
