Out of frustration and despair over lack of action on climate in my home in Alaska, I started @ClimateMatSu. I also volunteer with @ESAL_us and will be at a session with them re scientists engaged in local policy. Find me at #AAASmeetings Seattle 2020.

Great news in the Senate! These senators know climate change is hurting their states—from coastal South Carolina to rapidly warming Alaska, and everywhere in between. We look forward to supporting them as they work to find #BipartisanClimate solutions. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…
