.@chucktodd during a special climate edition of @MeetThePress today: "We're not going to debate climate change, the existence of it ... We're not going to give time to climate deniers. The science is settled, even if political opinion is not" https://t.co/MGRrPIJ6rE
“Lila Johnson, 71, has worked as a cleaner at the State Dept for 2 decades, sweeping floors and scrubbing bathrooms for $21 an hour. Now she’s worried about making her rent, car and life insurance payments, she said.
‘It’s Christmastime,’ Johnson said. ‘People need their money.’”
I know that gvmt shutdowns tend to get spoken of in abstract terms, but this has a *huge* impact on low-wage workers in DC. Most fed workers get repaid for furlough days but the janitors, security guards, & cafeteria servers who work as subcontractors in federal buildings don’t.
All my beautiful hardworking people of the Federal Goverment, come to any of my places with your families at the bar between 2-5 pm for a free sandwich.Everyday until back to work! @oyamel@zaytinya @AmericaEatsTvrn @chinachilcano@beefsteak@jaleo
You own the shutdown—your own words, @realDonaldTrump. The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan solution to avoid a shutdown. Then you threw another temper tantrum and convinced the House to ignore that compromise. #TrumpShutdown

And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall.
$5.7 billion
What if we instead added $5.7B in teacher pay?
Or replacing water pipes?
Or college tuition/prescription refill subsidies?
Or green jobs?
But notice how no one’s asking the GOP how they’re paying for it.
Agreed. His article is a red herring designed to dilute calls for action and maintain our addiction to fossil fuels. Fossil fuel use for 'decades to come' is a choice not a constraint. Disingenuous.
This could be interesting: Nine Northeastern states + DC say they're going to work on a new cap-and-trade system for transportation over the next year. So far, even climate-focused states have struggled to get their transport emissions under control: https://t.co/I5aOHmWyU4
"In the 1970s and 1980s, Woods Hole Research Center scientists and many others projected future impacts from a warming and changing climate. Those impacts are happening now." - Dr. Sue Natali (@ArcticPermafrst) testifying to the MA Senate Global Warming & Climate Change Committee
“Until you start focusing on what needs to be done, rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope.
If solutions within the system are so impossible to find, then maybe we should change the system itself.”
- @GretaThunberg
A must-watch.
New research from @LUQLTER researchers reveals the long-lasting impacts of recent hurricanes. Check out the story from @Forbes: https://t.co/HF4lBLoE4b
Three years after the Paris climate agreement, the world is not on track to meet its targets. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising. And the world’s 7.6 billion people face mounting risks from more severe and more frequent floods, droughts and wildfires. https://t.co/zhFDcTjMd7
Study published today by @sciencemagazine, and led by WHRC President Dr. Phil Duffy, has found that scientific evidence supporting the EPA’s 2009 Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases is now even stronger. Read more: https://t.co/O5rEYWpym5 #EndangermentFinding@StanfordWoods
WHRC's Dr. Sue Natali was quoted in @nytimes discussing @NOAA's 2018 #ArcticReportCard. WHRC's Rafe Pomerance was also quoted in the article, demanding "more urgency from all governments to reduce emissions”. Read the full article here: https://t.co/fE1X7ySz7j #AGU18
