Larry Summers belongs nowhere near the White House for đź’Ż reasons, but especially because of his terrible track record on climate.
@JoeBiden isn't serious about climate or "not going back to the way things were before" with guys like this around. THREAD bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Summers is a friend of Wall Street behind much of the deregulation that led to the '08 crash, then was brought in to help "fix" it. He made a lot of bad calls.
The past few weeks have brought more & more evidence that we are in a drastic, catastrophic, & urgent #ClimateEmergency.
It’s also more clear than ever that most US politicians, yes even @TheDemocrats, are in complete denial about the scale & speed with which we must act.
A 🧵:
Let’s start with the problem.
Last week, a new report came out in one of the world’s top scientific journals showing that we are at extreme risk of hurdling past dangerous “climate tipping points” in the coming years.
First off, this article misses a key “expert” perspective:
THE CLIMATE SCIENTISTS WHO ARE SAYING WE NEED TO RADICALLY TRANSFORM EVERY ASPECT OF OUR ECONOMY IN THE NEXT DECADE IF WE WANT EVEN A 50% CHANCE OF AVERTING CATOSTROPHIC CLIMATE CRISIS
A thread🧵 nytimes.com/2019/11/14/cli…
As someone who spends almost all of his time straddling policy experts, political strategists, & social movements…I’m incredibly disappointed but not surprised by this article.
Every👏 Damn👏 Day👏 I am told by some well meaning person that we need to be reasonable & measured…

BREAKING: The @DNC resolutions committee democratically passed a #ClimateDebate compromise resolution and it appears that @TomPerez is trying to kill it.
He says it would disrupt the process the candidates have agreed to. All the candidates want a #ClimateDebate.
Debate happening now. @Tinapo makes the point that @dnc members have never voted on the current rules.
It’s actually @SenFeinstein who is being divisive. Incredibly, unbelievable, outrageously divisive. A thread:
First of all, it’s true: after @sunrisebayarea posted the full interaction w/ @SenFeinstein online, @sunrisemvmt also posted a tweetable shorter version that went viral. It included some of the most morally outrageous statements.
