Letter from Climate Reality Leadership, which our own actions now align with…

We’re still absorbing last night’s election results and what they mean for our world and our work, but here is what we know, Mr Alvarez. 

We know an assault is coming on US climate policy and all the progress we’ve made in the past four years. And we will be there to resist. 

More than ever, the world needs a global movement of advocates working to protect the planet and future generations. We’re redoubling our efforts to build it. 

We must step up to counter the expected absence of US leadership on climate. We have no other choice.

Climate Reality is ready. We have been building a movement for nearly two decades just for moments like this. As a global organization, Climate Reality’s network will continue to push both back on denial and forward for ambitious climate action. From our founding, we’ve based our work in the truths of science. Today, science tells us that we cannot afford to delay. We will be here to speak this truth to power – no matter who is in the White House.

We have ambitious plans for our work in the coming years to ensure that progress in the transition to a just and clean energy future continues. We will continue to recruit, train, and mobilize climate advocates to fight against the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

We know political will is essential for progress. Just like political will, hope itself is a renewable resource. Let’s continue to embody that sentiment in the months and years to come. 

As we work together to expand our global network and build our power, regional and local action has never been more important.

We need you in this fight.

Thank you for all you do,

Phyllis Cuttino 
President and CEO 
The Climate Reality Project 

Except from Bill McKibben’s recent news letter:

The FDR era comes to an end

And so we will need to build the next new thing under the sun

I am, of course, sad.

I had hoped, almost more than I let myself really feel, that American was about to elect a smart black woman president of the United States, moving us further down the path that we have haltingly followed throughout my life. Instead, quite knowingly, we elected someone who stood for the worst impulses in our history. I think the next four years—and perhaps longer—will be very hard on many fronts. One is the concern of this newsletter, climate and energy, where we can expect the oil industry to have carte blanche.

But I actually think the message and the moment is much deeper than that. What happened last night was that the cord that stretched back to FDR snapped. It had been badly frayed, especially in the Reagan years, but the Depression and World War II had been such deep and defining events that the formula that got us through them—a kind of solidarity at home and abroad—more or less held. No more.

Everything is up for grabs now, including the basic entitlement programs that defined the New Deal. (If you haven’t read Project 2025 this would be a good day to start). In foreign policy terms it’s all far more complicated, and has been from Vietnam through Gaza—but today is a bad day to be Ukrainian, Taiwanese, or a Palestinian on the West Bank. Can things get worse? I think they can, and I think we will find out, here and around the world. But I don’t think it will last either, because the promises on which this new MAGA order are built are mostly nonsense.

And I also think the sun rose this morning—there was a leaden sky in the Green Mountains of Vermont when I went out to walk the dog, but I could sense the sun behind it.

And in that sunrise there is for me the hint of where that next huge realigning New Deal-sized thing will come from. The reshaping of our energy system—to cope with climate change, and to reflect the rock-solid fact that we live on an earth where the cheapest way to make power is to point a sheet of glass at the sun—may offer, if we are clever and good-hearted, a new basis on which to remake the world.

More local, more peaceful, less controllable by oligarchs and plutocrats. I don’t know if we can make it—the headwinds are stronger than they were yesterday—but I know we can try. And I know that only this project is big enough in scale to give us a real chance at a fresh start.

That’s what this community will continue to focus on, and I’m glad you’re a part of it.
