Research shows… that even in the fly-over red states of the U.S. Great Plains, local leaders in small- to medium-size communities are already grappling with the issue. Although their actions are not always couched in terms of addressing climate change, their strategies can provide insights into how to make progress on climate policy under a Trump administration.

Enjoy the upcoming shitstorm. And the drowning of entire nations (which we’ve already built walls around, because humans are So Nice).Report
I’m sorry, I won’t be around to watch because I died along with the rest of terrestrial life when the Deepwater Horizon blowout depressurized the methane clathrates in the seabed and turned the atmosphere into a giant fart.
Or wait, I died when the Yellowstone caldera cracked open and covered all of North America with magma in a couple of hours.
Or did I die when antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread across the planet?
Or maybe it was back when population pressures spurred resource competition that escalated into strategic nuclear exchanges.Report
it’s “liquid hot MAGMA”. Say it like Dr. Evil.
And don’t forget about the global cooling!Report
No, you died of dysentery.Report
That article makes reference to local folks doing local things to conserve energy, etc. As it has always been.
In AZ, you see a lot of places adding solar panels-houses, covered car parks, etc. This is where the changes happen, not some federal mandate.Report
