Can't recommend John Biewen and Scene on Radio enough. The Keeping SCoR newsletter is a new endeavor for them, and I love it.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We have a pretty good idea that this is accurate - for example, Berkeley Earth suggests a 55% chance of crossing 1.5C this year and that we will hit 2C within a decade. That's pretty consistently about ten years ahead of the IPCC. I've got a more detailed reading here. ko-fi.com/post/Scarebe...
