For Shame! Gina McCarthy Nomination Boycotted

Republicans on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, scheduled to vote today on the nomination of Gina McCarthy as the new head of EPA, boycotted the procedure. That denied the committee the quorum it needed for the EPA nominee vote. This is sheer obstructionism and game-playing. It is inappropriate behavior.

Dear Michelle Obama…

Dear Michelle Obama, I'm writing to you about something important, in honor of Mother's Day, as one First Mom (of my family) to another First Mom (of this country!) The subject is climate change — and our duty as mothers to address it wholeheartedly and ambitiously. I had thought — we all think — that …

Tier 3: Which Is Better – Clean Or Dirty?

Sometimes it takes a mom to point out the obvious: CLEAN is better than DIRTY That’s especially true when it comes to the dirty emissions from cars and fuel that affect our children’s lungs each and every day. We’re very glad that the EPA has proposed a new Tier 3 program. Not the most memorable …

What Is Climate Change Costing Us?

The Third National Climate Assessment, written by 240 contributing scientists, and the result of a collaboration among 13 federal agencies, is a must-read, accessible document.

Republicans Care About Climate Change

My pal Tina Beattie and I talk a lot about what it means to be a Republican who is deeply concerned about climate change.

Cars And Trucks And Things That Go!

That was the title of my toddler sons’ favorite book, and there were days when I cursed Richard Scarry for having to spend hours reading about cars and trucks, and days when I blessed him for having figured out exactly how to distract and soothe at least two little boys–and millions of other children. Our …

Making The Clean Air Act Even Stronger

Because I am capable of losing myself for hours at the computer, staring into the screen, I have had to train myself to look up and focus on a far-away point out the window. My rental has extraordinary city views, because of a quirk in the layout of the avenues — I see a skyline …
