Good take in this @washingtonpost editorial on the #COP27#ClimateChange conference. Without international pressure and goals, nations have little incentive to reduce emissions enough to preserve a livable world.

Remember budget reconciliation? It’s happening & climate is part of it! The Inflation Reduction Act is a HUGE step forward in the fight against climate change & we need to make sure it passes by ☎️ calling every Democratic office on the Hill. ☎️

Supreme Court leaves it up to Congress to act on climate change. That's OK because Congress can enact a carbon tax and a carbon border adjustment that can make the solution go worldwide. Tax pollution. Un-tax income. Conservatives in Congress, here's your chance! We need you!
Good points here from @JosephMajkut on #SCOTUS decision:
"Eventually we will need a carbon tax or economy-wide emissions cap to cut emissions in a systemic and cost-effective way but that can’t come from the EPA."

Are we there yet (on reconciliation)?
@nick_sobczyk reports progress made with Manchin.
“I am as optimistic as I’ve been in quite a while that we’re going to get this done,” said one aide.

#IPCC report shows urgency to pass climate legislation:
"At the current rate of emissions, the world will burn through its remaining “carbon budget” by 2030 — putting the goal of keeping warming to 1.5 C irrevocably out of reach."

Charging corporate polluters for the emissions they produce is the fairest - and also the best & most efficient - way to meet climate goals. Adding carbon & methane pollution fees to the Biden plan gives a vital margin of safety. And polluters should pay

Encouraging news about a #PriceOnPollution!
@business reports that @SenateFinance is considering a #PriceOnPollution with rebates to Americans as part of the budget reconciliation package.
