climate voters

Some groups that represent voters interested in climate change and environmental issues generally:

Environmental Voter Project

Climate Voters

League of Conservation Voters

money and fossil fuels

Clearly, the only thing these fossil fuel companies care about is money. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doing what they're doing. So we've got to try to hit them where it hurts-- in their wallets. This would involve:

1. a carbon tax, to drive their revenues down and their expenses up; and

2. an effort to get investors (particularly pension funds, universities, etc.) to divest themselves of fossil fuel stocks, thus driving down the stock price and so depriving them of the capital necessary to do their evil work.

Follow the money.

climate politics

There are a number of political groups dealing with climate change in the US, including a couple Republican groups (!), but they don't seem to have enough influence. Why is this? Maybe there needs to be some overarching coalition of these groups to be more effective. And, of course, in the US there is active political opposition to doing anything about climate change and a powerful  disinformation campaign. In addition, the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about it. It's not sexy enough, too long-term, etc. They'd rather talk about Stormy Daniels or these juicy allegations about Brett Kavanaugh. The fact that the US is a large (the largest?) energy producer as well as the largest energy consumer explains in large part why this issue is so much more contentious here than in other countries-- where it's just treated as, you know, science.

planetary council

The UN Security Council should change its name to The Planetary Council and should start moving in the direction of attaining some minimal level of global (planetary) sovereignty.

Meanwhile, the General Assembly should just be cut loose. It's just a talking shop anyway, a place for overpaid, underbrained diplomats to hold forth. Any body that purports to put the likes of Paraguay and Equatorial Guinea on the same footing as the US and China is absurd on the face of it and is totally undeserving of our support, financial or otherwise.

planetary emergency

The Planetary Council has declared a planetary climate emergency in view of the unacceptable level of carbon emissions and resulting climate change. This emergency will include three new policies:

1. CARBON TAX
A progressive carbon tax will be instituted immediately, to be raised at intervals until carbon emissions have leveled off and started decreasing.

2. POPULATION STABILIZATION
A 2 Child Max policy for couple (and 1 Child Maxine policy for single women) will be instituted immediately, to be continued at least until carbon emissions have started decreasing.

3. AN APOLLO PROJECT TO HASTEN THE TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS AND TOWARD RENEWABLE ENERGY
Funds will be dedicated to achieving zero carbon emissions in both the energy and transport sectors by 2050.

the climate mobilization

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Climate Mobilization calls for a WWII-type mobilization to meet the threat of climate change:
