Very rarely does the official start of spring in New England ACTUALLY mean anything other than the Sun crossing the equator and heading north. But this year I feel like it means so much more.

It is not the first time that life on Earth has threatened its own existence. More than 2 billion years ago, photosynthesis by ocean cyanobacteria emitted massive amounts of molecular oxygen into the atmosphere. Known as the Great Oxygenation Event , it caused major cooling and glaciation of the Earth’s surface. It also drove evolution of species towards greater diversity and complexity that created the homo sapiens. Humans began polluting their environment on a massive scale during the Industrial Revolution . By the end of the 19th century the use of coal and heavy machinery made many workplaces hazardous. Areas around factories became unlivable. Besides affecting people’s health, the air filled with particles and chemicals created problems for industries. Printing, food and textile production suffered most. This, however, did not stop technological progress. It resulted in the invention of the air conditioner .

The United States has rejoined the Paris Agreement , created a whole-of-government approach to climate change and committed to making the clean energy transition — and the jobs that will come with a zero-carbon emissions future — a key part of rebuilding the economy. Each of these steps will make a welcome impact, but we must do more. It would be natural for policymakers and advocates to turn their attention away from cities and states to Washington, D.C., but while federal action is imperative, local action remains a critical piece of the national climate strategy. As the mayor of a major city who has committed to meaningful action to … [Read more...] about Cities and states must lead as window of opportunity shrinks for climate action
