The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released its 2022 report. You can find it here: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2. The planet continues to warm. The report describes some of the consequences of climate change. While larger actions are needed by governments and corporations, there are things that individuals can do that will make a difference. And I as always point out, small changes add up, especially when performed by large numbers of people, so pick a few things you can do and get started. Here is a link to an article that briefly summarizes the IPCC report and describes several ideas for things that individuals can do. The article contains several links to more detail.

With a new climate change report out from the UN and gas and electricity prices rising quickly, we have many reasons to reduce our use of energy in our daily lives. Reducing our energy use saves money, conserves resources that future generations will need, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Some of us will be able to make significant changes while others may only be able to do a few things. Either way, every little bit helps. Here is the first set of ideas:
Because the primary elections in our area are not until later this month, I didn’t think about primary elections until yesterday. Many US states have already completed their primary elections and caucuses to select the candidates that will run for election in November, but many states have not completed the process. It’s important to participate in the primary selection process so that you can affect who you will be voting for in the general election later. Check to see if you have primary elections or caucuses in your state, region, or country and participate in selecting the candidates that you will vote for later.
