On her way home to Antarctica to take some time off post-election, our friend Earth had one more thing to say after the 2018 midterms.

Earth here again.

I’m writing this on the way home to visit my family in Antarctica — because after a long and tough run up (waddle up?) to this year’s midterms, I can’t think of a better way to spend the winter than surrounded by family with some fish in my beak. I can’t wait!

But before I take some time off, I wanted to make sure to tell you this: I hope each of you are proud of yourselves because, as far as I’m concerned, we had plenty of peng-wins on November 6.

Twenty-four hours of inspiration for all of us who want a healthy, sustainable future.

In many places, the leaves have fallen and the first frosts have turned the air crisp. The days are getting shorter. Most birds are well on their way south, and the holidays are just around the corner. And in just a few weeks, on December 3–4, we’ll present our eighth annual global broadcast of 24 Hours of Reality.

Hosted by former US Vice President Al Gore, 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves will sound the alarm on the clear and present danger that fossil fuels and climate change pose to the health of families and communities across the planet. …

Our Climate Reality Leaders know all too well what the future could look like for today’s young people — and they’re taking action to mitigate the worst of it.

Without a global shift to clean, renewable energy, today’s children and young adults will face a world none of us would wish for them.

No young person would be blamed for feeling overwhelmed, frightened, and helpless looking ahead at that prospect — the prospect of a world with runaway climate change.

And yet, here at Climate Reality, we see at every turn that the fight for action and the case for hope is being led by the youngest among us.

We stand at an important moment in the movement for solutions to the climate crisis.

Fossil fuels are driving a climate crisis, and the climate crisis is threatening the health of our families and communities. Extreme weather is on the rise. Infectious diseases are spreading. Our food and our water are increasingly at risk. Pollution is choking the air we breathe.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Hosted by former Vice President Al Gore, the global broadcast event 24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves will sound the alarm on the clear and present danger that fossil fuels and climate change pose to the health of families and communities across the planet.

During the broadcast, you’ll hear from experts about how the climate crisis is affecting the health of people around the world. Just as important, Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves will show how we can solve this crisis and create healthier, thriving communities by making a global transition to clean, renewable energy. …

On election day, Initiative 1631 gives Washington State voters the chance to implement the first statewide carbon fee in the US. Here’s what’s at stake and why success in the Northwest could be the start of a turning point on climate across the country.

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s an election on November 6. And if you listen to the ads on any side, it’s the most important election of our lifetimes.

But if you look past the congressional and governors’ races dominating the media, there’s a quietly critical vote for the climate happening out in Washington State. …

As our world becomes warmer and warmer, our seas will continue to rise. That’s because the number one cause of sea-level rise is climate change.

Of all the impacts of climate change, sea-level rise may be one of most well-known — perhaps because of its popularity in TV shows and blockbuster movies.

But — surprise, surprise — reality is a little more complicated than the movies. Don’t worry — we’ve got the facts. Here are your questions about sea-level rise, answered.

Sea-Level Rise: Defined

We can talk about sea-level rise in two different ways: relative sea-level rise and absolute sea-level rise. The Environmental Protection Agency (before it was headed up by climate deniers and industry lobbyists, that is) defined it well:

• “Relative sea level change is how the height of the ocean rises or falls relative to the land at a particular location.” …

She’s a planet lover. An environmental activist. A smoked fish enthusiast. And she’s running for Congress.

Have you met Earth? Climate Reality sat down with the first-ever penguin running for Congress to get to know her a little better. Earth’s platform includes land conservation, electric vehicles, energy efficiency, and green jobs — but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Read on to get to know Earth, and be sure to check out her official website (and find your polling place!).

What got you interested in politics?

Oh, so we’re just going to penguin dive right into this thing?

(That was an icebreaker.)

(So was that.)

In all seriousness, I learned about environmental injustice at a very young age. Our home ice in Antarctica disappeared and my family had to leave. …
