Clime of Times
As the election draws closer, we cannot ignore the growing impact of climate change on our communities. Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton, along with dozens of wildfires this past summer, are all clear warning signs of a very real climate crisis.
This issue deserves more attention than it has received so far this election cycle. Only one brief question about climate was asked at the very end of the presidential debate.
The climate crisis impacts us all, no matter where we live or how much money we make. Americans are being told to flee their homes and risk losing everything.
Meanwhile, Big Oil continues to put profits over people by prioritizing fossil fuels that continue to destroy our environment.
We cannot afford to lose any more time in the fight against the climate crisis. We need leaders—at the federal, state and local levels—who believe in the science of climate change and are willing or can be convinced to take bold action before it’s too late.
So I urge everyone: When you cast your ballot this November, think of our planet and the people who call it home.

Room With a View
With regard to American public life, civil discourse, diplomacy and world affairs, leadership and our current political climate, what is the largest room?
It is the room for improvement.
