Citizens Climate Lobby Monterey County

Citizens Climate Lobby Monterey County Monterey chapter no longer meets the last Monday of the month. Meetings vary. Watch for announcements.

We are one of over 600 active chapters of Citizens' Climate Lobby/Citizens' Climate Education in the United States and around the world. Inspired by Dr. Steve Webster, co-founder of the Monterey Bay Aquarium, CCL Monterey was formed in early 2015 by a core group of advocates committed to improving the health of the planet. We are convinced, based on the evidence, that global warming is happening a

nd that it is primarily caused by carbon dioxide pollution emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels. We believe that the best solution for global warming is to put a price on carbon (CO2) and 100% of our efforts are directed toward passing our revenue-neutral, carbon pricing legislation, Carbon Fee and Dividend. Although individual actions to fight climate change are essential, we believe citizen advocacy to be one of the most effective ways to generate the change we seek (a livable planet). National climate policies are the most immediate and most effective tools to fight climate change. Because government responds to the will of the people, CCL works to create a livable world for current and future generations by empowering citizens to connect with, and influence, their members of Congress.

Trillions in profits, five CEOs, one mission: Keep the world burning fossil fuels, no matter the cost to our planet. It’s time to hit them where it hurts—their wallets. At , we’re calling for accountability and demanding that the biggest polluters pay their fair share to protect our future.

Really??? DeSantis: “Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden.”

Ron DeSantis’s distant loss to Donald J. Trump in Iowa dealt a devastating blow to his campaign. His exit caps a spectacular political failure and leaves Mr. Trump and Nikki Haley locked in a two-person contest.

Kevin McCarthy got what he deserved, Peter Wehner writes. https://theatln.tc/Thnj5q4Q

Yesterday, Kevin McCarthy became the first speaker of the House in history to be removed by his own party. His defeat marked the latest battle in a bitter power struggle within the GOP. And although the vacancy will surely cause more chaos, Wehner writes, “I can’t say I’m sorry to see McCarthy deposed. After all, he has been a key figure in transforming the GOP into a monstrous political party, one whose contempt for constitutional and democratic norms poses the greatest threat to the republic since the Civil War.”

The former speaker has been criticized for flip-flopping ideologically. He voted to overturn the 2020 election results just hours after the January 6 attack on the Capitol, even though he privately said he would call for Trump’s resignation. Once it became clear that the Republican base would not desert the former president, McCarthy committed to blind loyalty to Trump. In his tenure as speaker, McCarthy recklessly attacked crucial American institutions including the Department of Justice; campaigned against a sitting incumbent, Liz Cheney; and launched a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, an effort that has been a “clown show,” Wehner writes.

“What makes McCarthy a particularly pathetic figure is that everyone knows he wasn’t (and isn’t) a MAGA true believer. He had been, up until the Trump era, a fairly mainstream Republican, not terribly ideological, shallow but well-liked among his colleagues,” Wehner continues. “Kevin McCarthy did the bidding of Trump and the anarchists and political arsonists in his party. In the end, though, no matter how hard he tried, he wasn’t revolutionary enough. When [Representative Matt] Gaetz went after McCarthy, Trump stayed neutral.”
