You know climate change is finally seen as a serious issue when it makes it to the Presidential debates.<\/strong> Here\u2019s Trump v. Biden on the climate<\/a> if you missed, or couldn\u2019t bear to watch, the final ten minutes of last week\u2019s debate.<\/p>\n

The stakes are high this November. <\/strong>Eminent climate scientist Michael Mann says a Trump victory would be \u201cgame over\u201d for the climate.<\/a> Not that a Biden victory, even if Democrats take the Senate, will guarantee anything close to effective climate action. But Biden at least proposes a plan to address climate change<\/a> and responds to reality<\/strong>, something that eludes Trump.
\n
\nThat\u2019s why this News Flash begins with what we can do in the final weeks before the November 3 election.<\/strong> In the next few days you\u2019ll receive a postage-paid mail-in ballot, which will need to be postmarked by Nov. 3. If you\u2019re not registered, go to https:\/\/registertovote.ca.gov\/<\/a>, preferably by Oct. 19. After that day, \u201cprovisional\u201d or “conditional” registration may<\/em> enable you to vote even if done as late as Election Day. Here’s Humboldt County’s link for that.<\/a> And be sure to vote!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you can possibly take time out of your busy life, please help other voters get mobilized.<\/strong> As Election Day nears, phone calls and texts to voters become more important. 350.org<\/a> is doing this, as are the Sunrise Movement<\/a>, Sierra Club<\/a>, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. T<\/a>hey\u2019ll get you started whether you\u2019re a member or not.
\n
\nSeveral groups will help you send short, personalized letters to voters. Two research efforts found this approach increased voter turnout by 1.4% and 3.9%. That may not sound like much, but many elections are decided by just a few percentage points.<\/strong> Contact the Sierra Club,<\/a> Swing Left<\/a>, or Vote Forward<\/a>, but don\u2019t delay. Whichever organization you volunteer for, 350 Humboldt\u2019s Dan Chandler hosts letter-writing parties each Sunday at 7 PM <\/strong>through October 25. It\u2019s a way to share some company and good humor to ease the cramping fingers.<\/p>\n

Closer to home, 350 Humboldt\u2019s Haley Connors-Keith joined candidate forums last month and asked local hopefuls to pledge to be climate activists.<\/strong> (You can still view the Eureka<\/a> and Arcata<\/a> city council forums to see the candidates in action.) Our Climate Pledge<\/a> asks candidates to work toward decarbonizing buildings, avoid sprawl, push carbon-free transportation, and promote equity by developing Green jobs. Check to see which candidates signed the pledge.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"CiaraFinally, there\u2019s still time to sign up for a couple great talks. 350 Humboldt hosts Ciara Emery discussing her research into stakeholder perceptions of local offshore wind energy development, on Monday, October 5, 7 PM.<\/strong> Sign up here.<\/a> On Wednesday, October 7, 1 PM, Humboldt State University presents Blue Lake Rancheria Tribal Council Member Jason Ramos on \u201cOpportunities in Transitioning to Low Carbon Energy.\u201d Register for the Zoom talk here.<\/a><\/p>\n
