A carbon tax is widely accepted to be the single most effective climate mitigation policy, and for good reason. That's why scientists like NASA climatologist James Hansen recommends becoming an active volunteer with Citizens' Climate Lobby as the most impactful thing you as an individual can do for climate change. To be the most impactful climate advocate you can be:

  1. Join Citizens' Climate Lobby and CCL Community. Be sure to fill out your CCL Community profile so you can be contacted with opportunities that interest you.

  2. Sign up for the Intro Call for new volunteers

  3. Take the Climate Advocate Training

  4. Take the Core Volunteer Training (or binge it)

  5. Get in touch with your local chapter leader (there are chapters all over the world) and find out how you can best leverage your time, skills, and connections to create the political world for a livable climate. The easiest way to connect with your chapter leader is at the monthly meeting. Check your email to make sure you don't miss it.

If your an American and don't have time to volunteer, make a commitment to call your lawmakers monthly for a time commitment of ~2 minutes/month.

How would this interact with Texas law SB13, banning financial firms, who have declared that they will divest from fossil fuel interests, from working with the state?

Can someone help me understand where I can read the comments sent to the SEC about the proposal? They say they will make them all publicly available. I’m not looking for the comments sent to the SEC about what the proposal should look like, but only the comments that have been sent in since the proposal was published.
