Climate Action

The IndivisibleADK/Saratoga Climate Team is aligned with the mission of Indivisible.org- to push back on the policies, executive orders and congressional laws which cut, stay, slow-walk legislative advances, rollback and prevent planetary protection.

This site provides the context and talking points about the implications to our society and world from harmful policies and laws, and from the attempts to undo hard won advances by environmentalists and nonprofits to phase out dirty fossil fuel energy and replace it with sustainable renewable capacity.

We can not allow corrupt politicians norcorporate and industry interests to poison our air and water, putting our lives, families and future generations’ health at risk, and in so doing take away the freedom to live a life without pollution. In the present atmosphere of national political chaos, awareness and urgency around climate action and policy is being sidelined. Federal agencies that monitor and provide climate science data like EPA, NOAA, and the Department of Interior are being dismantled. In New York State, the Governor and legislature are retreating from urgent proactive climate legislation, stalling on cap and invest, slow-walking the build out of publicly owned renewable energy, and, as of spring 2025 hesitating on such bills as the NY Heat Act which would enable renewable installation and reduce consumer costs. Funds from FEMA to NYS and around the country are being cut.

Increasingly, climate prioritization, action and emergency preparedness must fall to local and county efforts. The Indivisible ADK/Saratoga climate team maintains strong values regarding both protection of the earth and just transition, which reflect the mission of Indivisible.org. Through events, webinars, research and letter writing we aim to strengthen our voices articulating and addressing such issues as lawsuits, broken promises/treaties with other nations and tribes, pipelines and fracking issues, drilling, permitting, divestment, industry greenwashing, the role of money and donors affecting legislative decisions, the progress and roadblocks to wind, solar, geothermal and energy issues, the Green Amendment, Rights of Nature--- among a myriad of other environmental issues.
