Never forget that we had all the scientific evidence we needed to act on global warming over 40 years ago, but the fossil fuel industry spent millions to spread disinformation and block climate action. Global warming isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

I don't know what's going to happen in Georgia, but fact that it's close is a testament to work @staceyabrams has been doing for years and years. Here she was describing Georgia's path forward to me four years ago: thecut.com/2016/10/meet-stac…
