Words not in the 2024 Republican Platform:
climate
warming
pollution
chemical
greenhouse
carbon
co2
ipcc
unfccc
paris
sea

'environment' only out of context
'clean' once
'fire' only for terminating employment
Looks like a GOP goose egg on the environment!

Revved-up climate change now permeates Americans’ daily lives with harm that is “already far-reaching and worsening across every region of the United States,” the National Climate Assessment says. https://t.co/4KQbIga8kY

It documents how climate change impacts the US and what we can do about it.
I was happy to have contributed to this over the last 2 years.
