Note from Lucy: Hoping for a concrete plan to combat climate change in tonight's State of the Union message. With the recent Senate filibuster rule change, there might be hope for getting a decent bill through; that's where it failed last time. With the more reasonable filibuster rule in place, there remains "only" one impediment to progress on this front: Republican billionaires—especially the oil barons—whose well-compensated lobbyists crowd the halls of Congress. As winter storm Leon brings ice and snow to the South Carolina Lowcountry today, and temps (country wide) for January have been the coldest in this century, let's hope significant action will be taken—and soon.
