Talking about Climate Change is a Political Winner.

In a less deranged version of our country, skies full of smoke would inspire us to bold climate action. There’s an American majority that loves blue skies & air we can breathe more than fossil fuel profits.
If the U.S. will not address climate change or manage its oil companies, states are going to have to take actions on their own to protect their people.
