Climate Week En Review: November 8, 2024
I’m a little bit at a loss for words this week—and that doesn’t happen to me often. But I also know that the event leading to my loss of words means that our work is all the more important. We have to ensure that climate change is a top priority in our communities, states, and with our federal law makers. We do this by talking to people. By writing LTEs and op-eds. By organizing events and being a very squeaky wheel.

At this conference a few weeks ago, I delivered the keynote address of the morning and also served on a panel on climate change communication.
