2022 was a harrowing year for the planet. Floods overwhelmed a stunning one-third of the nation of Pakistan, China saw the longest and most widespread heat wave in history, and here in New England, we were pummelled by heat and drought.
As you reflect on the past year this New Year’s Eve, you might consider making a change to benefit the planet. If you’re stuck on what your resolution should be, we’re here to help.
We asked five statewide climate leaders the question: What’s one climate-related New Year’s resolution you’d recommend Massachusetts residents make this year?
* Hold your local municipalities accountable. Do not let them say they can’t do anything. Whatever you can do on the local level matters.
* Celebrate the benefits of climate action. This is a very “Green New Deal” resolution, but I can’t help myself: Take stock of all the great things that you have, and can have, in your life because of climate action.
* All the little things. Think about who you’re buying your energy from. Think about how you’re using your energy. Think about what you eat and what the impact is. All of those. But more importantly, who do you buy from? And how do they think about their climate pledges and what are they doing?
* Switch your stove. These aren’t the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in our daily lives, but one thing I would encourage people to look at is their stoves.
* Think about climate with every decision. We’re in this climate crisis that’s impacting all aspects of your life. So, in making any decision, ask yourself, will it negatively impact the climate?

Idiot.
It just never ever ever ever stops
Like food shortages? Much colder winters INSIDE the house? Dependence on foreign nations for energy? More war? Lower standard of living?
I'm sure I missed a bunch but...I don't call these 'great things'.
We never had hurricanes before Al Gore discovered global warming... or floods...or rain storms.

The author is a professional climate alarmist:
“ Dharna Noor is the Boston Globe’s climate producer. Prior to joining the Boston Globe’s climate team, Dharna worked as a staff writer at Earther, Gizmodo’s climate vertical, where she also co-produced a season of the podcast Drilled on the fossil fuel industry’s influence on education. Before that, she led the climate team at the Real News Network. Her writing has also appeared in publications including In These Times, Jacobin Magazine, and Truthout, and was also featured in a 2021 book from The New Press called The World We Need. She has been interviewed on podcasts and radio programs such as the Times Radio, Vox’s Tell Me More, the Insurgents, and NPR’s Living on Earth. She lives in Baltimore.”
My climate New Year’s resolutions:
1. Ridicule the idiots pushing “climate change”.
2. Ignore the idiots pushing “climate change”.
We never had heat waves or droughts before the late 1980s. No hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme cold or fires either. The temperature stayed steady all year long with just the right amount of rain. /s
I live in an area where you can be exposed to most every climate found on Earth and experience most every natural disaster possible. I’m on the lower slopes of an active Volcano.
My climate is just fine.
Lots of idiots call this place a paradise,
Hawaii. It is just home to me.
From 1972 published in the newspapers of the day: “We have ten years to stop the catastrophe,” said the UN’s environmental protection boss.
Therefore, per the UN (not that that has any credibility, but make them live up to their own propaganda) after 1982 it is too late to do anything.
Stand up and denounce the idiocy of climate change. Ridicule the arrogance of narcissistic woketards who think they can actually affect the climate of the Earth. It’s a con, plain and simple.
Maybe Darna should drive her EV west on I90 over to Buffalo and ask them how the Global Warming is going for them the last couple months.
I love carbon.
It’s enhanced my life in so many aspects.
Only the inflation of the Biden Era can suppress my love for carbon fuels.
The 1st amendment prohibits the government from establishing official religions like this. They better stop pushing this BS religion on me.
Out of all this galling tripe, this is the most especially galling: "Take stock of all the great things that you have, and can have, in your life because of climate action."
That immediately reminded me of George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation of October 3, 1789...
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and Whereas both Houses of Congress have by their Joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness."Surprisingly, not once did George Washington give thanks for our abundance due to "climate action."Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
Well, today you can go look at your stove. Then get back to us on what you see.
I throw garbage in my recycling bin. It's not much but I do what I can.
