Congress is back to work — and so are we! Our first meeting of 2026 is coming up this weekend.

We'll hear a State of the Organization message from Executive Director Ricky Bradley and write to Congress about funding for critical climate research.

See you Saturday!

Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs) are powerful climate policies.

Analysis from @rff.org projects that in this CBAM design, emissions would "decrease globally by 81 million metric tons in the first year" with even greater reductions over time.

I wish that the "President" of the US would fight for America's democracy like the real democratically elected president of the Ukraine does. But, democracy is in the way of Felon 47 becoming King, and staying out of prison after Dems take over the House and Senate next year.

At last month's LA Auto Show, Volkswagen found the perfect marketing hook for its gas-guzzlers: the Los Angeles wildfires. Yes I am not kidding.

Also, I counted electric vehicles on the show floor and was (mostly) not encouraged.

This account would not have its name without Rob Reiner. I could explain, but there's too much. This is such a tragedy and the world has lost a kind, bright and intelligent light.

Mr. Riener, as you wish.
Some of the best movies ever made were by Rob Reiner. They made us laugh and think: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men. And he was a force on screen as well in All in the Family and so many films.

What a tragic loss. Words fail with news like this.
