- March 11 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) delivers his 291st "Time to Wake Up" speech urging his colleagues to wake up to the threat of climate change.
Whitehouse highlights possible climate safety scenarios and outlines actionable steps the federal government can implement to change course before it is too late.
Sen. Whitehouse is a National and worldwide treasure. God Bless you!!!
Enki, blessed us with knowledge. Then his knowledge and words got perverted by Christianity and Catholicism. Cuneiform Tablets has news that can help us. The Bible does not. Science also has news that can help, but Extreme Republicans don't care.
What a couragous man! Thank you Mr. Whitehouse for your work for envirement and for your work on the corrupt SCOTUS. You should get the OSCAR of courage! And I VOTE BLUE!!
Bless this man for doing all he can to wake us ALL up!
We need to win both houses and the presidency. Moreover, eliminate the electoral college. By the way Whitehouse is the BEST!!!
Eliminating the electoral college is going to take over a decade of political activity and grassroots organizing.
Expand the Supreme Court , institute a mandatory code of ethics. Impeach justices ruling from the bench re: their wives' hobbies to install a dictator. And on and on.
Have to reverse Citizens United too.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
Sen. Whitehouse has all of our backs. He's one of the few truth tellers in Washington.. ❤
I find it unfathomable that greed has gripped these people so profoundly, they don’t even consider their own descendants.
It really is mind-boggling, do they think they are going to be in a wealthy class of their own. Or are they in denial about these obvious facts. There is no realistic path that keeps their descendants alive.
Sen. Whitehouse, thank-you 👏🏻💙👏🏻💙
Congratulations Senator Whitehouse for educating us the importance of climate safety before is to late. Our admiration to you and your team.
I fear we have let the polluters run rampent, with Citizens United!
Keep at it Senator Whitehouse, you're my hero!❤❤❤
We need to invest in Climate Change technology Globally, we are citizens of the World. Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.

President Biden's chips & science act is doing that, they are making the electrical grid efficient and capable of accepting energy from intermittent sources, they are making our goods transportation system efficient, seed money to make geothermal plants && electrical plans more efficient (more energy out of sane inputs), making chips ETCETERA in America so we don't depend on worldwide supply chains which will break down due to climate. The London Financial Times recently had a clip about how President Bidens agenda is shaking up the world because he's acting so forcibly on climate change.
Is he the only one there? OMGosh! This subject is so very critical to all the world!!!! Thank you, Senator Whitehouse, from a Texas Blue Dot in a Red sea for all that you bring to the record and the table. We are ever so grateful that you share it all with us!
🔵💙🔵💙👍🏻
Brilliant analysis and proposed enabling legislation from Senator Whitehouse.
There is NO EXCUSE FOR NOT ADOPTING THE LEGISLATION. PLEASE, vote Democrat up and down the ticket in 2024!
Oooh, Sen. Whitehouse! I love the tariff thing! I'll be voting Blue down the ballot in hopes of giving you and the world more support to make these important decisions! ❤
Is there anyone in the room actually listening ? Too bad not ONE Republican has the desire to work as hard as Senator Whitehouse.
Is there anyone else even IN the room?
Whitehouse for the White House!!
I would say yes, but he doesn't want it as he thinks he can get more done doing what he's doing now than if he was in the Whitehouse, and I agree.
He gets it correct! Thank you Senator 🇺🇸👏Whitehouse 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
The fossil fuel companies need to be held responsibility for this. If we don't do something NOW, then it's gonna be too late.
It's work like this by Senator Whitehouse that gives me hope when things seem so dark. Wonderful stuff!
Such a clear, brilliant assessment of desperately-needed climate initiatives Senator Whitehouse🔥. The corporate MONEY involved in restricting the EPA and purchasing politicians of both parties MUST BE ADDRESSED by the next Administration and solutions demanded. Thank you,Senator, for your team's research on the problem. For my Greatgrandaughter, clear heads and regulations must prevail.
Sen Whitehouse I'm disappointed in the lack of reaction to the most brazen corruption from SCOTUS in my lifetime. Legally meritless decisions that explicitly admit to being political, Clarence Thomas still refusing to recuse on 1/6 matters in which his wife is mentioned throughout the evidence. I don't know if this is a political directive not to make waves but I'm deeply disappointed, if not downright angry.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for Doing your Job for All Of Us 💯
Thank you Senator Whitehouse 😢
Yes, we are in trouble.
We have a 3rd world Supreme Court - but at luxury 1st world prices.
"The danger gets real in the physical world" . Setting heat records this winter in the Midwest...farmland too dry.
Thank you Sen Whitehouse. We all should be opening our eyes.
Thank you, Senator for looking ahead at the world we are currently making.
Whitehouse for the whitehouse!😉👍
I would say yes, but he doesn't want it as he thinks he can get more done doing what he's doing now than if he was in the Whitehouse and I agree.
His 📣 is my political soul, this man needs to be our next president post a.i. Joe!!
Thank you senator Whitehouse.
Unfortunately, a carbon tax which I've been hoping for for a decade, it would be framed as a tax on the poor. Frame that way or reality, we need to implement one soon! Thank you Mr Whitehouse!
The best government Senator, who always expresses the TRUTH! ps: Sen. Whitehouse looks good in that grey, black, and white stripe tie.
Dear Mr. Whitehouse! Your clarity, commitment, and conciseness are impressive, Please prepare y0urself for a run for the Presidency.
I would say yes, but he doesn't want it as he thinks he can get more done doing what he's doing now than if he was in the Whitehouse and I agree.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse you are one of the best! How do you plan on stop those fees to be passed onto the consumers?
Fees shmees; do you want to survive or not!
I really enjoy this series. Thank you for doing these as well as the updates on the Clarence Thomas investigation.
Thank you, Sen. Whitehouse.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!!👏👏👏🙏
This is a good man.
New England is proud of Senator Whitehouse. His courage and wisdom are pillars of government responsiveness and benefit for constituency. The warning and practicality of his message are important to our people, have implications beyond climate, and would help bridge our fractious society. Rhode Island is helping us all by electing Sheldon Whitehouse. Thank you for your power in your votes.
Our voice and the earths in the Senate, Senator Whitehouse!
Senator Sheldon you are a real GEM to the world. We love you !
Senator Whitehouse, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Whitehouse makes me think that the right people in office could actually govern and do some good. Vote straight Blue
Thanks for making a way forward for the so-called " conservatives" to try to understand fairness and market-priced carbon pricing.
THANK YOU Sen Whitehouse‼️All the shabby Repubs should look at you & LEARN how to be an effective Congress person
Thank You, Senator Whitehouse. I wish WE THE PEOPLE could have you cloned!
VOTE for Renewed Hope for Climate Action
Thank you for your work sir
Thankyou, my thoughts are that your grandchildren will be thankful for your efforts to give them a chance to have a planet, a home.
Im all in on pretty much everything you do and say Senator. Maybe I need to listen more to you piece here. In case I miss it, can you tell us how the polluters won't be able to pass this carbon fee back onto the consumers? Thanks.
Why does the chamber appear to be empty…this man is speaking truth to power and there are a whole lot of them that need to hear what he is saying!
Thanks Sheldon.
Thank you!❤
Sooo.... what would happen if tomorrow we nationalized the fossil fuel industry and used all those profits to change the infrastructure in the US to mainly wind and solar? If we didn't have an industry that owns the US government fighting tooth and nail to do nothing, could we hit our goals then? If we held Exxon, Chevron, and other US oil companies accountable for the things that they've done over the last 50 years or so and just nationalized them, could we hit our targets then? The fossil fuel industry makes big tobacco look like Weebelos, why do they continue to get a free pass when they're literally working to kill everyone?
Senator Whitehouse for the White House!
Thank you for all the tireless and important work you do both fighting for climate change legislation and educating the public! Hear, hear, Senator Whitehouse!
I am so totally In Agreement!!!
Real public servant. That's what it looks like.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for update on Climate Crisis resolutions…
We are eternally grateful for your continued efforts to provide greater awareness of this crisis to the world…
Voting Blue🇺🇸💙✨🙏
Keep going senator whitehouse!! ❤️💗💕😍🥰
I concur. Exactly.
Thank you, Senator, for a clear explanation of the situation and the best solutions available to us. Let's get it done.
Thank-you for your clear and incisive reasoning. I am embarrassed that it so difficult for Americans to fathom. We seem like we're so easily led on some things. Why is that, I wonder?
Beware the nights warmer than the days. A single night warmer than the days will shut down vegetable crops. A single night warmer warmer than the days will stop crops from growing and producing.
I’m a horticulturist in Rome, GA and it happened the springs of 2021 and 2022. Days were 75F but nights were warm and one night got to 80F and all of the vegetable plants stopped growing. Immature fruit rotted on the plants a few weeks later. Tomatoes, okra, corn, squashes, eggplant and more just stopped growing completely…did not die did not grow did not produce.
No one know this
It’s plant DIF….plants need a day/night temp difference and the less it is the less plants will grow and produce. 1 night warmer and they stop completely and do not start back.
My name is Jimmy Greer and I stand by my observations.
Thank you for sharing this!
@@bonniebreckenridge5236 Thank You! For the past 4yrs I’ve been commenting everywhere but always get ridiculed. For past few months others are finally commenting the changes they are witnessing. I’ve called every research horticulturist on the planet after what I saw and we all see horrific things happening not making any news.
Good luck
Keep in mind that Heat is always temporary, heat escapes as the earth turns, its only hot on the Sunny side of the Universe.
@@woodchipgardens9084 surrounding counties did not quite have the inverted night temps but crops were very few in the farmers markets those years. Plants also shut down temporarily every day when temps get above 85F…used to be in late afternoon now it’s 80 by 9-10am in summer. That’s 4-5 hrs a day in decreased production that is happening now but no one interviews horticulturalists.
Not sure what your comment has to do w anything I stated except to an attempt to contradict me when u haven’t noticed shit. But u will.
This change is exponential not linear. What we notice now everyone will notice sooner than expected.
@@Atheistbatman grow tropical fruits instead, wind direction changes every 48 hours.
Love your message boards!
Go to Fentress County TN. 1000s of unplugged abandoned gas wells venting right now. All over that area and southeast KY. Small wells economically unviable just leaking into the atmos
Oh my gosh 😢
As I said before, this country would do better to have Sheldon (rather than DT or JB) in the White House!
All hands on Deck ⚖️ 🗽 🇺🇲 🌠 💙 ⭐ ✨
Thank you!!!!

While America has wonderful Statesmen like Whitehouse, it has become increasingly evident that she needs her younger generation to assert itself, claim ownership of issues like climate change, and demand aggressive action. Feeding the purses of fat Capitolists with a slow walk toward drought and extreme heat will no longer work. I don't believe that the young are willing to have their future sold off. We can move swiftly when we choose to. American Citizen Voter, Ultimately, it's our responsibility to staff our Congress and our Courts with competent personnel. We have failed recently. We've been shown where our failures have been. Now, it's time to remove the do-nothing Congress and the lawless Justices. Vote Blue!
It is sad to hear the dollar has such a hold on us as a society but it's the reality we live in and I do applaud the effort. We need to look at life differently and evolve I feel.
Our Founding Fathers gave Americans and America gave the world a government that pivots. A Democratic government CAN unite the people behind a cause IF THE WORLD WANTS IT BAD ENOUGH. America has witnessed enough governments to understand the risks and potential of every government enacted. It is time for the United States of America to fulfill its destiny and bring about a Perfect Union.
Look up Carbon Fee and Dividend with a CBAM. Talk about it with your friends. And ask your Congressional Representatives to pass the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act to do it. It's about half the entire solution for a 1.5° future. But we have little time to spare.

I just X-tweeted my reps about it… just @ then look up their names…
people evolved in Africa, from one common ancestor, a couple hundred thousand yrs ago Over time, some people walked out of Africa and spread across the world.
The branches of the family that spent thousands of years in colder places without a lot of sun … eventually they lost much of their melanin and turned a bunch of different shades, depending on the conditions where they were.
… the king of Portugal had hired Zurara to write a biography of the king’s uncle - Infante Henrique … better known as Prince Henry the Navigator -1st major to exclusively enslave & trade continental
Writing in 1453, Zurara chronicles & glorifies Prince Henry’s voyage, a decade before. In describing resulting slave auction back in Portugal, in 1444…Zurara lumped together different-looking captives
So Zurara portrayed slavery as an improvement over freedom in Africa, where, he wrote, “They lived like beasts.” They “had no understanding of good, but only knew how to live in bestial sloth.”
Zurara’s writings were widely circulated among the elite in Portugal…& their ideas about continental Africans…led the way as human trade expanded among west Asian countries like Spain France
& England west Asian Africans [post Zeus' mistress Europ]
slave traders [military order of Christ] commissioned the invention of this sort of codified racist idea, of Black people [from south of the Sahara, Africa] 1450s
- pink-beige west Asian European Africans fashioned 1682 white in the colonies that became US
ruclips.net/video/CJdT6QcSbQ0/видео.html
In 1682 … the first legislative body in colonial America The Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law limiting citizenship to Europeans
- making all non-Europeans - “Negroes...” aka in English "BLACKS" as the law put it - quote, “slaves to all intents and purposes.”
ruclips.net/video/W_xTG6VXlIQ/видео.htmlsi=m0W6oR4Xxipv14EB
the 1682 law included the first documented use in the English-speaking colonies of the word “white” [vs English European or Christian] to describe [brown to lightest pink-beige west Asian Africans aka Europeans] considered full citizens.

Racism is racial prejudice that has been incorporated into the activities and procedures of major institutions, corporations, social systems (such as those related to housing, education, and health), and other arenas of major social activity (such as politics, the media, finance, and banking)
Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for west Asian Africans colonial government invented "White" Americans

Very scary. Shame on anyone taking fossil fuels money instead of protecting our planet. I worry for my grandchildren 's future. Shame on anyone that doesn't support and vote for your bill.
Many thanks for all you do.
💙👍💙
I wish we could get some of those bills he has to attack this problem!
👏👏👏👍
My Dear Sweet Friends, our hero and national treasure used the word, "PUSILANEMOUS". Did I even spell it right? I did not look it up yet, but he has the vocabulary to state his case quite clearly!
Get rid of lindsey Graham,
Does the administration calculate $190 per ton on mandatory work from office commute pollution for workers who could otherwise work from home?
Incredibly informative.
What ever happened to the pattens that big oil bought and hid regarding running engines on fumes
Climate is only one problem this civilisation has, and we are still talking about it. Time is up.
Thank i just love how you explain everything
Everyone I know realized we were past 1.5 some time ago. The weather is all new every year. It's so obvious that people don't want to talk about it. Either we are lied to constantly, or our scientists are extremely bad at predicting when tipping points will occur. It's coming faster and faster. We are dying faster as well.
Keep in mind that Heat is always temporary, heat escapes as the earth turns, its only hot on the Sunny side of the Universe.
@@woodchipgardens9084
Spam bot!
We are and many want to blame the government. It's our responsibility to make a difference. We need to decrease our population and reward those who are trying to replace only themselves. Greed needs to be put in check. Consumerism needs to be reduced.
Thank you!
Completely correct 24 years since the last time Gore tried to pass in congress at the end of the last century
Israel owns our government and media, the UK's as well. Put Sens Whitehouse and Sanders in the White House in 2024 to engage in needed change for the better.
RIGHT TO POLUTION FOR PAYMENT ⁉️😈😈😈😈
"If you look at those 1200 scenarios and you look at the ones that are still viable and get us at some point back under 1.5 degrees, you know how many of them there are? Eleven. Out of 1200 predicted scenarios, 11 are all that's left that keep us at some point below 1.5 degrees. Almost all of them blow significantly over 1.5 degrees." (at min 3:24)
At the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the world was shut down for 30 days. The pollution dissipated and our trajectory for our survival as a planet changed. Doing this under different circumstances would be a step in the right direction.
The 1.5°C threshold is in the rear view mirror. The government failed to take action for 50 years. It's a little late now.
It's NEVER EVER TOO LATE!
Well I don't think we should just give up, and I commend any efforts to address climate change, but we also need to be realistic about where things are at. Maybe "too late" isn't the right way to frame it, but right now we're tracking with the worst case scenario. @@lyndamonchak4072
The longer we wait to fix it the worse things will get.
I support the ideas presented here but how are you going to prevent the FFI from just passing the carbon tax on to the consumer, thus driving up fuel prices for those who can ill afford it?
They'll just put those fees onto us consumers.
Yes. The consumer will have to pay for their own pollution contribution. There are many people that already drive more efficient cars or take public transportation, have well insulated homes and recycle or reuse fanatically. It is a paradigm shift absolutely primarily because the car and fossil fuel industry has gotten us addicted using disinformation and buying politicians, SCOTUS. Gallon of gas weighs 8 lbs. puts about that amount of carbon (garbage) into the air. At $140/ton is $0.56 a gallon. Seems preferable to extinction and I don't have children.
Put pressure on your energy providers. Ask local business orgs to welcome alternate energy providers. Check out what Iowa has done with solar and wind. Engage engage engage.
Sen Whitehouse: You may have assembled the tools to make this work:
I admire what you are trying to do Snr Sheldon, but, like all the pundits, and even scientists, on this subject, the assumptions fail to get across the difference between heat and temperature. The point is that the temperature only rises AFTER more heat energy has been absorbed than the feedback systems can control. If the temperature is rising at all it is, most likely, already too late.
The scientists should have chosen ice melt as the key indicator. Choosing temperature, especially in enormous whole degrees C, was totally insane: people cannot help but think the numbers are too tiny to make any difference, even though they know that they would be very ill if their own body's control feedbacks failed to stop a two degree C rise!
Our chances of survival are not good, but you may be able to help, with your other project: If you use your evidence to help Colorado challenge The United States for allowing rebel insurrectionist justices to reverse the protections in the Constitution, and force states to put would-be fascist dictators on their ballots.
Not only does this disqualify the justices under 14.3: it also disqualifies them for treason and failing to be "of good behaviour". Furthermore, they have jeapordised the ability of The United States, to GUARANTEE the republican form of government required by Article 4 Clause 4, and thereby given the President cause to proclaim insurrection under the Insurrection Act (which includes obstruction of justice as one form of insurrection, and the President gets to decide: not Congress or the courts), and fulfil his sacred Oath to protect the Constitution, which Trump has promised to dissolve, when he becomes dictator and rules by Divine right.
Colorado must sue The United States, and insist that the President does his duty to protect The Constitution *with all his power*, and SHALL GUARANTEE a republican form of government to all states.
Crooked traitor 'judges', 'Trojan Horsed' into power by foreign and domestic enemies of the state acting through Leonard Leo, must not get away with forcing the nation to play Russian Roulette in a dodgy illegal fake election, which the rebels will continue fighting even harder--likely through actual armed rebellion--if they should lose the count again.
Biden SHALL end this NOW.
Only then, when tribal rivalries that Washington warned would lead to this point, have been put aside, and ideally confined to the lobby, may Humaniity, at least, then be able to make a start on a real effort to survive the century.
We will blow past 3 degrees by 2050, how far is the question now.

Moreover, I’ve seen an influx of very well appointed (spiffy new black trucks, new and standardized clothing marked with Nazi themed references), appearing in my state in the past few months. The young men have a military bearing and their morale verges on exuberant. Having consulted extensively to OSD, the style is familiar.
When can we start talking about publicly funded elections? 🎉
