I had no idea about the bank thing! My bank isn’t listed, but I requested it. (Tiny local credit union, so hopefully...?)

I love this newsletter. Thank you for always giving me a little more hope and practical steps to take. Your work has been a lifeline for my climate grief.

Among "the consequences of climate events in other parts of the world that [will] affect us directly here" that we need to prepare for is a growing demand from the less-developed countries of the world that we share a larger portion of our resources (including food) with them. Otherwise, the waves of migrants all around the world will grow to even more unmanageable levels.

Thank you for your writing. Your story about community benefiting from solar collectors and your personal decisions where to keep your money. Good but not enough. at community level we should be preparing for consequense of cllimate events in other parts of the world that effect us directly here. Such as in short term, a global grain crop or supply chain failure..

I think an eventual global trigger event will encourage communities too prepare better for the changed climate in their own homeplace and elsewhere. Your viewpoints on this issue are anchor for me.. I ask, these coming years we will all be watching our current rapid climate changes. Is this reallI sense this is the timeline we need to anticipate and plan for. Year after year, we should be planning as community for this future. Is this really happening. Or will we continue and slow the curve witth our personal actions? How we care for our watersheds that make our marine foods, where we live, food security, local food chains. Has any community presented a 50 year energy plan in the global context of Dr Hansen's accessment?
