@stuartpstevens hello! Thanks for your perspectives - wanted to suggest that SOME endorsements do matter (ref @AliVelshi tonight). Can’t thank @JimClyburnSC1 enough for endorsing Joe Biden💙🇺🇸in 2020

"By now, there is abundant proof that pricing carbon dramatically lowers emissions and even economically benefits the societies that do it."

Time for a #PriceOnPollution!

🚨New bill alert 🚨 The BIG WIRES Act has been introduced by @SenatorHick and @RepScottPeters!

“This bill should be at the forefront of the conversation about how we should reform the permitting of our energy infrastructure,” said CCL's Ben Pendergrass.

Nonpartisan political will is the most urgent need in Washington DC right now.

Great piece on @nbcnews from @nidhi123413 about CCL's conservative conference:

“#ClimateChange should be a bipartisan issue," said one attendee. “It affects all of us. All we can do is hope that Republicans around the nation will hear us out.”

“Addressing climate change is absolutely a prime priority” - Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, House Energy and Commerce chair.

[Bob Inglis @bobinglis]

So glad for this from our friends @CCLMontana @kylejmcintyre and @hattiehobart Especially this line: “We're engaging on this issue for three reasons: it's real, it matters and it's a potential trojan horse for policies that compromise our values.”

Check out the grassroots support for effective climate change legislation from voters all over the U.S.

[Charlotte Ward @CharlotteWard]

Our dynamic CCLers had a great Feb, with many thoughtful media submissions and interviews making it into print.

Volunteer Mike Carran wrote a great opinion column in the Arizona Daily Star about the importance of clean energy permitting reform. 👏

This could be the year office seekers get the message that to earn enough votes to get elected, they have to prioritize #ClimateChange. There's a lot climate advocates can do to deliver that message.

Starvation, mass migrations - this is not theory or a climate model anymore.

Here’s a thread of this week’s essential climate coverage from our #ClimateBeat newsletter:

Most Americans are concerned about climate change & think more should be done about it.

But they think, mistakenly, that most of their fellow citizens don’t agree, according to a new study in Nature Communications.

A new report from @BloombergNEF showed the U.S. leading venture capital and private equity investment in #renewableenergy and battery storage by a wide margin in the first half of 2022: https://t.co/Eow5y5SKHj via @grist

ICYMI: @iamjohnoliver did a great job explaining why carbon offsets often amount to little more than a scam because, in many cases, they don't result in additional emissions reductions. CCL has pointed this out for years.

Not acceptable: Communities of color often suffer at the hands of polluters. It's time for this to stop.

“When it comes to emissions, we are no longer fighting an uphill battle, at least in the United States and many other countries like it. We are deciding how quickly to race downhill.”

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Encouraging take on the #InflationReductionAct from @dwallacewells:

"Not long ago, the upfront cost of a green transition looked almost incalculable. Today it seems plausible quite dramatic emissions gains can be achieved for just, say, $369 billion."

Great CCL op-ed:

"This long-sought breakthrough on climate legislation was made possible by grassroots support that was lacking in previous 'inside the Beltway' efforts... CCL generated more than 200,000 letters and phone calls to members of Congress."

At long last - real action! This I can hold up as a sign of hope to our descendants.

Our statement on passage of historic climate legislation:

"CCL is thrilled to see, for the first time, the U.S. Congress taking action that reflects the scale of the climate problem."

CCL's release on Senate passage of historic climate legislation:

“This climate victory belongs to all the grassroots advocates across the country who have worked for decades to advance solutions to climate change,” said CCL Exec. Director Madeleine Para.

@shannonosaka A good followup would be the grassroots support for climate legislation that made the difference & pushed Congress to see this through. CCL volunteers generated more than 200,000 letters and calls urging Congress to pass a reconciliation will with strong climate measures.

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Waking up to more good news this morning: The last passenger to get on the #InflationReductionAct train, @SenatorSinema, has climbed aboard.

Let the voting begin for biggest #Climate legislation Congress has ever done!
