Climate change has created a health crisis that will continue to worsen unless the U.S. takes decisive action to end its fossil fuel dependence. Only Kamala Harris has plans to reverse the climate crisis. Read the full report here: https://www.lancetcountdownus.org/2024-lancet-countdown-u-s-brief/ - 11/04/2024.

1. The very strong possibility that Dems will not retain control of the Senate....

....is what really scares me.

I believe we will take the Presidency and the House, but without the full support of both chambers of Congress, Harris will be just as restricted as Biden was, as far as climate action goes.

And unfortunately, we have already given away too much time, and we simply can not wait yet another 2 years to start bringing an end to the fossil fuel industry.

We have come so close, but we also waited too long.

This graph shows the heating influence caused by the major human-produced greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (gray), methane (dark purple), nitrous oxide (medium purple), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, lavender), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs, blue), and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs, light blue). Relative to conditions in 1750, today's atmosphere absorbs more than 3 extra watts of energy per square meter of Earth's surface. Graph by NOAA Climate.gov based on data from NOAA Global Monitoring Lab. For the complete list of chemicals in the CFC, HFC, and HCFC groups, see Figure 3 in the Full AGGI Report.Graph by NOAA Climate.gov based on data from NOAA ESRL.

"Net Zero” will not stop the warming, and we’re a l o n g way from “Net Zero."
