This afternoon, the Senate approved a procedural motion that forces the Senate to take up the Climate Security Act. But the Senate is the Senate, and people who are set on ignoring the urgent need to act are using Senate procedures to slow down progress.
The speeches continue. We anticipate that the debate about the bill itself will start Wednesday or Thursday.

After all the build-up – the opinion writing, the ad campaigns, the committee work, and the economic analysis – we’re in the home stretch. The full Senate is ready to consider acting on global warming.
Today, the Senate is scheduled to kick things off with a motion to proceed on the Climate Security Act. Here’s how we expect the next couple of weeks to unfold.

As promised, here’s a look at the other TV ad we’ve launched as the full Senate prepares to debate the Climate Security Act.
This ad shows a naysayer literally melting away: “Melt” TV ad.
What do you think? Yesterday’s ad, “Grounded”, is my personal favorite. Please pass along whichever one you like better!

The Senate floor debate about the Climate Security Act is scheduled to start next week, so we have two new ads running in key states.
This one has gotten good reactions (and a few winces): “Grounded” TV ad.
What do you think? If you like it, make sure to rate it and share it! Tomorrow, I’ll post another ad, called “Melt.”

Memorial Day is the start of the summer travel season. With gas prices approaching $4 per gallon across the country, you might want to think carefully about how you get where you’re going. Should you take one, big, packed car, or two smaller, half-empty cars? How much gas can you save by driving slower and making sure your car engine is properly tuned?

Last week I posted links to some ads we’re running on the importance of passing climate change legislation. We have a new group of ads running now in Florida, and they’re really interesting to watch.
Each of the nine new ads features a different business person in Florida who is either manufacturing something green or using green technology in his or her business. The spots are interesting and encouraging – and short (it won’t take you long to look). What do you think?
