The article highlights the alarming impacts of climate change, as evidenced by unprecedented wildfires and floods alongside rising global temperatures. It underscores that the US lacks a cohesive climate policy, unlike other nations with holistic regulations. Instead, US efforts have focused on specific technologies and fragmented policies. Although bipartisan support has facilitated funding for carbon removal technologies, this support is linked to localized interests, not a unified national climate strategy. The call to action stresses the need for a renewed focus on effective climate solutions, rather than diluting the message amid political fractures.
We have officially surpassed 1.5C of warming, a critical threshold scientists have long warned against.
The United States has never had a true, comprehensive climate policy, unlike other countries.
Our approach has been fragmented, focused on supporting specific technologies rather than tackling climate change holistically.
Bipartisan support has helped unlock billions for carbon removal, but that does not mean carbon removal itself is bipartisan.
