Policy makers & activists are watching PA again But this time it’s not about our votes. @ClimateCorpsPgh @ClimateCounty @ClimateRealSEPA let your state reps & senators know what YOU think about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis
When it comes to climate change, it's time for Pennsylvania to Think Globally and Act Regionally. Do you agree @DavidRowePA ? @SenatorGeneYaw ? Your constituents do! @PA_Nature @PennFuture @AudubonPA #ClimateAction bit.ly/3gRp4Xb

As @JoeBiden might say, this is a big...deal! Attn: @ecotone2 @annmacdougall @drfrances #ClimateAction
‘America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is,’ @JohnKerry put it well. Time to get to work. #ClimateAction Attn: @eldersclimate Biden names John Kerry as presidential climate envoy wapo.st/3l16bS1

Will the Georgia run-off elections be climate elections? 72% of Georgians know global warming is happening; 60% want the president to do more about it. The Senate could make it happen. C:@johnlanierRCAF @drawdownga #ClimateAction
Replying to @DLeonhardt
@DLeonhardt is right: NOW is the time for climate action. Joe Biden knows it. Do Georgia Voters? c:@EarthShareGA @drawdownga @gasierraclub nyti.ms/3f2Nvjr

Climate Change or COVID19, What’s Your Story? Is it time to change it? The stories we tell ourselves shape our next steps. c:@ASAging @thischairrocks @TheElders @eldersclimate @EncoreOrg @heymarci @TheOpEdProject @annmacdougall #ClimateWeekNYC bit.ly/32SvH6a
A September surprise? “This is the first time a government entity has looked at the impacts of climate change on financial markets in the U.S.”  #ClimateCrisis #vote
Climate change? Money talks: “This is members of the entire community involved in financial markets saying with one voice, ‘This is a serious problem, and it has to be addressed.’” #Climate Federal Report Warns of Financial Havoc From Climate Change nyti.ms/2R5Qc8K
Confused about climate change? @johnfocook @ecotone2 & @MaibachEd summarize it clearly & concisely #ClimateEmergency
You can summarize climate change in 10 words: it's real, it's us, experts agree, it's bad, there's hope. Climate misinformation is the opposite: it's not real, it's not us, experts are unreliable, it's not bad, there's no hope (the 5 climate disbeliefs) youtu.be/JuUz2AwoSko
