To Joe Romm and Bill McKibben:
Climate legislation has been pronounced dead. Those who have worked hardest to pass it have given up.
And yet, this is the only time in the near future in which a bill can pass. We must not miss the moment.
I write to suggest that a jolt from outside could still revive the patient. The best efforts of senators, activists, environmental groups, and the climate community have all been put forward. I salute them and all their work. It was not enough. And there is one resource that was not used, that even at this late date could be put in play, and possibly revive the bill. I think we should use the base.
