Kitchen Table Kibitzing: 2015 Is THE Year To #ActForClimate

Happy New Year, climate activists one and all, and welcome to the first dispatch of 2015 from the Climate Action Hub. Pull up a seat at the table and join me for some news on climate change happenings here at Daily Kos.

All indicators point to 2015 as the long awaited (and, hopefully, not too long overdue) tipping point when massive civil engagement, coupled with private sector, NGO and political action, coalesce around the urgency to take action and move rapidly towards a zero energy future to combat global climate change. Earlier this week, Pope Francis expressed his growing concerns about alarming changes in the climate observed in Vatican City (and, in fact, all over the world) and announced his desire for "direct influence" with the 2015 UN Climate Conference in Paris this December.
