SJS/GreenPolicy360: Sparked by young activists, the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 presented beginnings of a wave, a powerful expression of green ideals and ideas emerging in a serious and historic event. Today Earth Day continues on as a movement and a political cause. Now we are a diverse mix across the globe with many nationalities, voices, faiths, religions, colors and ages.
Together, we continue on year after year, decade after decade. Across our home planet, we are #PlanetCitizens.
We are a wave of energy, we are a work-in-progress.

Is it too late to keep global warming below 1.5°C?
December 2023: Read this 'Live Science' report from Michael E. Mann
* https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/climate-change/yes-we-can-still-stop-the-worst-effects-of-climate-change-heres-why
Last June, I came across a news piece claiming that "scientists failed for decades to communicate [climate risks] to policymakers and the public." However, the story had mischaracterized a scientific review article about communicating unlikely but important climate consequences in the presence of deep uncertainty.
But what bothered me most was the notion that scientists have failed to communicate climate risk. Many of us have spent decades trying to do just that, despite a misinformation campaign by polluters to confuse the public and policymakers.
If climate scientists are guilty of anything, it's arguably the opposite: We have, in some ways, failed to communicate that we can still avert catastrophic climate change.

Flashback -- 1978, Climate Action Memories
GreenPolicy360: We are engaged in and tracking decades of Climate and Earth Science.
Start here with the story of our friend, Representative George E. Brown, who stepped up in the U.S. Congress

First National Climate Act
The beginnings of modern environmental and climate science can be traced to the 1960s and 1970s.
The U.S. National Academy of Sciences played a key role in laying a foundation of scientific reports and data.

Your GreenPolicy360 siterunner watched Rep. Brown speak of the findings of a first-of-its-kind Energy and Climate Report from the Academy of Sciences. The Representative from California moved decisively to make the science actionable.
In a historic moment, Rep. Brown proposed and drafted the legislation of the U.S. National Climate Program, then went on to shepherd the legislation's passage in 1977-1978, and advanced unprecedented Climate and Earth Science action until 1999.
The Climate Act was the first program to study and assess scientifically the issues and risks of human-caused climate change.
The climate legislation was a foundation for comprehensive initiatives and array of decades-long Earth Science missions led by NASA, NOAA, EPA, USGS and programs/applications/research at universities and companies across the US.
