I highly recommend “Prime Minister” (hbo) and “A Different Kind Of Power” (audio book) by Jacinda Ardern (former PM New Zealand). Her leadership is: 1) Kind 2) Decisive and action-oriented 3) Engages with opposition toward common good 4) Has high integrity. It’s hopeful!

This is the summer of flooding across the US, and scientists know why | CNN Summer has increasingly become a season marked by deadly disasters, underscoring the escalating volatility of our warming world.

Low carbon emissions would be the urgent sensible answer to course correct. Vote for it.
