This is what I do. Lobbying with my friends from @CCLtampa , asking our elected representatives for more action on climate.

Even after all the climate progress the U.S. has made this year, we could still really use a #PriceOnPollution.
A carbon tax would supercharge the effect of the #IRA’s subsidies, shifting our economy toward low-carbon goods & services even faster.

The rapid recent advancement of climate attribution science is providing us a critical new perspective to understand how our continued addition of warming gasses to the atmosphere is affecting our lives today, and not something we can leave for our grandchildren to deal with.
Today I had the pleasure, in my role as a @ccl_virginia volunteer, to meet with bright young climate activists from Korea, to tell them about how CCL volunteers, 200,000 strong, are achieving our goals for a federal climate policy. Exciting to exchange ideas with them.
Happy to be with my fellow CCLers today, talking about climate opportunities, while the US Senate was getting it done!

TY @wusa9’s @MiriWeather for bringing another children’s health concern to the spotlight:
"With children's learning, they are more impacted by having more severe allergies, more recurrent sinus infections, and sleep is also impacted" - Dr. @NeeluTummala

Our VA11 @ccl_virginia team had a productive meeting with Congressman @GerryConnolly's always gracious staffer this afternoon.
This is how citizens lobby.

Many more former skeptics are starting to believe that climate change is real and will harm future generations. This finding comes just as Congress is debating how big to go in reducing carbon emissions. Now it the time to put a #TaxOnCarbon #CitizensClimateLobby
Many Americans understand that global warming will cause harm. 71% think that future generations of people, as well as plant and animal species, will be harmed “a great deal” or “a moderate amount": bit.ly/3ylZG35

Our planet has a fever 🤒
But have no fear! One of our volunteers has a cure for the climate blues. ❤️🌎
Her assistant got a little confused 😂, but now we're all on the same page. Go to:

The U.S. is getting nervous as Europe unveils its carbon border tax. We can calm everyone's nerves by having the U.S. enact a #PriceOnCarbon, the most essential tool for getting emissions reductions.

Huge thank you to @pottershousedc for signing onto our @Biz_CL Coffee Industry Declaration! We love seeing our local community businesses using their voice to endorse a #PriceOnCarbon 💚

.@suepalkafox5dc @ABC7BillKelly @TenaciousTopper @dougkammerer – many thanks to you and your teams for providing great forecasts and reporting during the recent heavy rains. Based on the worrying trends shown below it’s clear that our area will continue to see more such events.
Kudos to @PostOpinions which rightly states that 'if this Congress refuses to put a price on carbon, future Congresses likely will have a lot more work to do, and less time and fiscal capacity with which to do it.' #CarbonPricingIsPopular @Biz_CL

Good story and thread from @SiegelScribe on today's press conference with @RepTedDeutch and others about the Energy Innovation & Carbon Dividend Act.

NEW in DAILY ON ENERGY: Pro-carbon tax House Democrats led by @RepTedDeutch make their move to push Biden to include a carbon price as part of its green infrastructure package, going against the grain of their party washex.am/3dGlkXi

Instead of a war on Coca-Cola, how about a war CO2?
✅ Restorative agriculture to deposit CO2 into the ground, where it belongs.
✅ Carbon fee & dividend to encourage migration to green energy and return $ to taxpayers, where it belongs.

Carbon fee and dividend is a policy that makes sense and should be adopted. My letter to the editor: richmond.com/opinion/letters… #PriceOnCarbon #ClimateChange #CitizensClimateLobby #BusinessClimateLeaders
