Project 2025 (P25) is the published plan for an “ideal” America if a conservative wins the 2024 presidential election; they call it the “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Project.” P25 is spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and is supported by more than 80 organizations.

The essential elements for a democracy to function are civility and truth but we must also care about those less fortunate.

COP 28 was held in Dubai and was chaired by the head of a national oil company. In addition to transition away from fossil fuels language, progress was made in a number of areas, including reduction of methane emissions (which account for about 30% of the Earth’s warming), increasing renewable energy, accelerating a switch to electric vehicles, and promoting carbon capture. Nuclear fusion is in the news and may be a silver bullet longer term. Of course conservation could help a bunch.
