Leah Stokes (Prof climate + energy policy UCSB,
working at/with Rewiringamerica.org )
interviewed #KamelaHarris on Oct 18 2022 on climate policy and her personal climate history.Two things I recall after watching it:
1) Kamala thinks the Australian administration is climate-aware... 😁 #AUSPol
(And I thought: "oh well, this wrong verdict certainly shows the little grasp she has of what is really necessary to combat climate change...)2) The #KigaliAgreement was signed and ratified by the US when Biden took office.
It's an extension to the #MontrealProtocol that curbed #ozone-killing emissions. The Kigali Agreement aims to phase down (not out) a cooling agent or compound called HFC which – if phased OUT – could reduce global warming by 0.5°C.Kamela's ecological awareness has permeated through her professional career. So it's doubly sad to realize how badly she misjudges what needs to be done regarding climate. Because she might THINK that she's got it – due to her long ecol-history. But she really doesn't. And she doesn't know that she doesn't know, and therefore likely won't realize soon enough that she doesn't.
