2) @JoeBiden ran on the boldest climate platform of any presidential candidate in American history. And he is on track to win. Climate action is a winning issue.
He has a climate mandate. With executive leadership, we can do A LOT. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/5/biden-vows-to-return-us-to-paris-climate-accord-if-elected

3) China is ramping up its climate action. By 2035, it has said no one will be able to buy a gas only car. That's a big deal in a huge auto market. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/China-plans-to-phase-out-conventional-gas-burning-cars-by-2035
4) @jamieclimate + @billmckibben + others were smart enough to start @StopMoneyPipe and they are pushing companies like @Chase + @LibertyMutal to clean up their act.

5) Climate was on the ballot in local elections, and we won resoundingly.

6) Coal is going the way of the dinosaurs. After a terrible 2019, it's fallen 30% this year. And that happened all while the Trump administration was endlessly giving them handouts.
Imagine what will happen to coal under Biden's leadership...

7) A very powerful oil company, Valero, spent insane amounts of money to try to buy the mayoral race in a refinery town in the Bay Area, @TedrickG reports.

8) The Squad? All those ladies sticking their necks-way-out on climate? @AOC @IlhanMN @AyannaPressley @RashidaTlaib? Yeah. They all won re-election.
