"We'll be mapping, measuring & modeling the most impactful & existing solutions to climate change to reduce our carbon footprint globally."

For more information visit drawdown.org

"Project Drawdown describes when and how humanity can reach climate drawdown, the point at which greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere begin to decline on a year-to-year basis, by mapping and modeling how one hundred existing, substantive solutions can continue to scale over the next three decades. It’s making that information widely available in order to communicate a credible pathway to meaningfully address climate change, highlight how different segments of society are already taking action, and let people know that solving climate change is possible."

I started out leaning towards Clinton and Martin stepped in and I really liked him and was following his appearances on the Sunday shows and his talks at caucus states early on, just never know when something will catch or not. It was actually surprising to me there was no flashpoint for him. I don't think he is as bombastic a candidate and nuance is always hard to promote to an electorate that is raised on sound bites. But good on him.

I still try to keep my EllenG smartcap on when posting because I do think it is difficult to change minds with anger and fighting. You are a good influence whether ya know it or not.

SO right, 'nuance is always hard to promote to an electorate that is raised on sound bites,' and the Europeans (and probably much of the rest of the world) think we're NUTS!

It looks like our guy is starting to rev his engines again. He is tireless and indefatigable. He was and is, hands down, the best advocate for combating disastrous climate change.

I predict he will bring about "severe weather" for climate denying Republicans.
