I am mystified as to why US leadership still behaves as if the climate crisis is temporary or of little concern. I keep asking myself what will it take for them to take notice? We will keep after them.
How fortunate am I to see and read this warning as soon as it popped up. Our compounding crises may see a political shift in Biden’s response to the war in the Mideast as he has pushed BiBi Nentanyahu to restrain his genocidal actions farther than ever. We understand that geopolitical interconnectedness relates to action on climate as well. I am hopeful the leader of Israel can be restricted by Presidential Executive Action on Biden’s part as he is nearing the limits of tolerance to this leader who must be replaced. If you happened to see the New York Times today, Saturday, the lead story was the weapons sales to Israel that was actually passed in the fall of 2016 for a ten year contract continuing through 2026 of which I was certainly unaware. In simpler terms, all the energy I have left for this day,
no new action by the House is obstructing or funding Israel ; it is from earlier times when Allies were aligned in goals.
Genocide is of course unacceptable and the heat in Gaza is likely to kill remaining starving civilians and military. Please review if you will for an understanding of our dilemma. We must address climate or all the ongoing wars will not matter. Trying to remain hopeful on all fronts. Thank you for your continued calls to action on climate. Without action,
……hope is lost. And I must rest now and attack again tomorrow in whatever ways I can to secure a planet 🌍 on which our collective children can survive. 😘🌊🕊️
"Policymakers have mostly ignored scientists’ and environmentalists’ calls for climate action for decades. But Europe is now taking action, and the results prove to other energy-hungry regions worldwide that it’s worth investing in renewable energy. " Please please please, USA, follow suit!
“Think the unthinkable: you will likely experience more extreme weather, either directly or through the impacts that these unstable conditions will have on the stability of the environment, our country’s socioeconomic structures, and political systems.”
If these words don’t feel personal and very ominous, it’s time everyone should wake up to the reality around us.
An alarming but essential read for all.
Well written with all the needed receipts. Thank you, Alex.

In your so rightful plädoyer you write : “And we need all significant polluters worldwide to raise their climate action ambitions.”
I agree with this focus and see it as a starting point for all logical restorative action to save what we can in nature.
