#Trump’srejectionofmultilateralism in favor of tariffs & bullying behavior, threatening war with the US military, pursuing fossilfuels at all costs, is not what the US or the world needs. When he is gone his legacy will be devastation & lies.

The world’s ecosystem is losing, thanks to the #axisofobstruction formed by US/Russia/SaudiArabia/India. A consensus requirement gives every participant veto power. The UN has failed the world. The best thing coming out of Cop30 is that 24 countries will work towards a #justtransition.

#IllinoisMunicipalElectricAgency IMEA sought to renew the Naperville contract early, when the contract still had 10 years to run. The Naperville city council had been inclined to renew, but the election put the renewal on the ballot. The new city council rejected renewal

Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Accord, but, climate activists estimate that 75% of its commitments can be reached at local levels w/o federal support. #ClimateCabinet, founded in 2020, focuses on supporting pro-climate candidates in under-the-radar races at the state/city level.

#Mayorsareleadingthechargeforrenewables. Although Trump quickly cancelled the $14.5M federal funds that the #MetropolitanMayorsCaucus had been granted to build 200 EV charging stations in the Chicago area, it is pursuing the same goal, helping towns install more EV chargers & keep EVs on the road.
