A theory about vibes:
Human beings are deeply social creatures. Our need for a legible social order is rooted almost as deeply in our brainstem as our need for basic physical security. We need -- not want, need -- to understand who's in charge, who are allies, who are enemies, *how things work*.

A good antidote to a bad NYT piece.
There was an NYT piece last week about the Sierra Club, and (by extension) the current state of the climate movement.
I think they got three big things wrong.

Climate change is a kitchen table issue. If rising waters and storm recovery costs don’t hit you, skyrocketing insurance premiums will.

This new obsession w/ banishing “climate doom and gloom” from political messaging really feels like standard-issue left-bashing.
Smart climate comms ppl have known for yrs that leading with co-benefits is key. That’s why we’ve consistently talked about jobs, affordability, Econ dev, and health.

The Trump admin calls this kind of talk “climate change religion.” With all the foreign aid and climate funding cuts, we Americans at least owe Jamaicans all the prayers we can spare as #Melissa comes barreling down.
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Today in things that make me crazy: Political consultants consistently call climate change a “cultural” issue when it’s projected to wipe out nearly a quarter of the global economy. Tell me again how climate isn’t a kitchen table issue? www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...
Experts issue warning on looming threat that could wipe out 24% of global economy: 'Poorer than it would have been'

Lots of thoughtful folks have differing opinions on NYC ballot proposals 2-5.
I’m voting YES on all of them because we need more affordable housing in NYC, not more red tape.

Catalytic clean energy projects like this in DeQueen, AR create value for local governments, school districts, & hard-working Americans. Federal funding freezes have slowed the capital flowing to energy infrastructure, but that won't stop us bringing benefits of clean power directly to communities.

Apart from the direct negative impact on hundreds of thousands of families who will have to choose between paying for medicine, food and skyrocketing electricity costs, this just seems like…bad politics.
The Trump administration canceled a $7 billion program intended to help low- and moderate-income families install rooftop solar panels. The cuts are dealing a disproportionate blow to the Republican-led states that propelled him back to office.
