Not my favorite source, but not a lot of other coverage.
It’s going to take two things to change this:
- Communication to make sure that elected officials hear from us. That means calling, writing, turning up in person, trying to have private conversations with staff, etc.
- Active intervention in primaries, so that it’s much harder to get elected if you don’t support decarbonization
Gore ran on it, and technically won, but our electoral system screwed him over. Hillary won the popular vote. Biden did a few small things to help the climate, but did a massive amount of things to hurt the climate.
I think people do care, but our electoral system isn’t designed to reflect the will of the people.
