Reality-based commentary. Necessary but not sufficient. Doing the other things. Massachusetts and beyond.

1. There are few people who think the Uber and Lyft will generate that amount 2. That is well below our peers- NYC is at $2.75 and Chicago is going up to $3 (for rush hour downtown trips). https://twitter.com/bankertradesman/status/1220082706698194951

Gov. Charlie Baker wants to add an $0.80 fee to each Uber and Lyft ride to help raise $100 million for the MBTA.

New @SFFed research shows that climate change poses big risks to our communities and our economy. I want to know what the Too Big to Fail banks are doing to mitigate this danger. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-warren/warren-calls-on-big-u-s-banks-to-disclose-preparation-for-climate-risk-idUSKBN1ZL1VQ

MA not on track to meet cutrent climate goals. Instead @MassGovernor is allowing a massive toxic #frackedgas compressor 2 be built, the final link in a chain 2 expedite export of poisonous polluting "natural gas" from PA abroad & allowed sham study to enable it. #cancercharlie https://twitter.com/JenBenson_ABL/status/1219944598392451072

I applaud @MassGovernor for supporting the goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 - but what bold policies will he support to get there? We aren’t even on track to meet our current 2030 reduction goals. We’re running out of time, we need #climateaction now.

@MassGovernor 1. Accelerate the timeline. The world as a whole should get off of carbon sooner than 2050, and Massachusetts as a leader should certainly move faster. My colleague @craigaltemose has made this case well. https://twitter.com/craigaltemose/status/1179818196100157440 17/

Craig S. Altemose@craigaltemose

@GretaThunberg We need to stop talking about 2050 and start talking about 2025, 2030 as the deadlines for when we will achieve radical societal transformation.

That's our charge, if we listen to the science and the voices of the youth calling for change.

It's time to pick sides.

One note on yesterday's State of the Commonwealth climate announcement by @MassGovernor:

It's possible that a "net zero emissions by 2050" target will result in little to no improvement over the state’s existing legal mandate to reduce greenhouse gas pollution. [thread] #mapoli
