At last I can tweet/retweet pro-climate action messages without fear of retribution from my own employer/government. It's good to be back!

[The White House 46 Archived @WhiteHouse46]

Today, President Biden rejoined the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

[Shella Biallas @Bella7Anne]

This.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Under a Biden-Harris Administration, we will rejoin the Paris Agreement on day one and lead the world in the fight against climate change.

[American Progress @amprog]

The Biden administration must make climate change a central focus of U.S. foreign policy, aligning the resources and influence of the U.S. to help drive global action.

Here's how:

I suspect the existential threat of the climate crisis, especially for younger Americans, hangs over this election in ways that are under appreciated by many in the political and punditry class.

[The Daily Beast @thedailybeast]

Elizabeth Warren won’t go down without a fight. And by “fight” I mean a UFC-style no-holds-barred, bodily-fluids-flying-into-the-crowd, everything goes cage match, writes @morninggloria https://t.co/mPelmGrkVJ

[Megan McArdle @asymmetricinfo]

Warren is by far the best and most articulate debater of this cycle. That she is nowhere near the front of the race tells you how much those particular verbal and cognitive skills are actually valued by most voters.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Very good news from the IMF Executive Board today. It has approved a financial plan that will help mobilize resources to cover the Fund’s share of debt relief for #Somalia. This is a key step towards debt relief from the international community. https://t.co/TWwv1ZVCWV

The American ax craze is everywhere — in designer ax brands, the rise of ax-throwing bars and the internet’s first ax emoji, which debuted this year. If you want to buy an ax for Christmas, move fast — they’re sold out at Nordstrom. https://t.co/0gxBV6FHug
