Here is my screenshot #Heatplatform is my original art of Nov 29, 2015 and my commitment in 2022
Honesty, Efficency, Accountability and Transparncy is the cornerstone of operating sysytem of my life as a parent, partner, neighnor, fiduciary agent and climate educator. Heat Party is my original acronym for an indepemdent grass roots organization that will endorse and seek to elected citizens pledging to internalize the values of #HEAT in their work as public servants and stewards of public trust.
2022 Climate Issues Election Platforms and Voting History
Here you can see the full text of H. R. 9, as voted on May 6, 2019, direct the 45th Presidental Adminstration to develop a plan for the United States to meet it’s determined contribution under the Paris Agreement, and for other purposes.
While Earthlobbyist David Carr recognizes multiple important issues in national election besides climate change, there is no issue that has the potential and functional ability to provide so much impact on our domestic society, economic future, public health or our global community as the effects of extreme weather caused by Atmospheric Carbon which causes Oceanic Acidification and species extinction.
On Nov 5, 2019 a team of 11, 224 World Scientists published and co-signed the “Warning of Climate Emergency” , a comprehensive, easy read presentation that clearly explains the urgency of our situation with a manageable action plan.
Future people will be affected by climate change in the form of disease, loss of property, food shortages, water shortages and extreme weather that will cause more damage than any other issue, as evidenced by recent events not limited to wildfires, tornadoes, flooding, air pollution and tropical diseases. The inability of the existing property insurance models to compensate and repair escalating damages without extreme premium increases is another problem, as California insurers are changing their models that insure homeowners from fires.
Based on the facts at hand, EarthLobbyist David Carr will support and deliver the following 2022 candidate platform. Thank you for your consideration.
- Recommitting to the Paris climate accord and reinforcing the Clean Air Act.
- Reestablish the 2015 EPA Clean Power Plan which was repealed on Oct 9, 2017.
- Re-establish the 2013 Climate Action Plan to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 17 % below 2005 levels by 2020, achieving a 26% reduction by 2025.
- Mandate that federal infrastructure apply human engineering to cool the planet, including captured carbon sequestration to power fuel cell technology.
- Increase user efficiency of wind and solar power while reducing fossil fuel dependency.
- 100 percent fossil fuel free energy for the national grid by 2035, exempting vehicles.
- Clean Air Emissions mandates for vehicles over 8000 lbs exempting trains.
- Commercial Airlines to reduce 2019 carbon production by 20% before 2030.
- Reforesting national parks and public lands to reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
- Reduction of Oceanic Acidification and temperature.
- The Pentagon must achieve net zero emissions by 2030.
- The Defense Department must implement state of the art microgrids and energy storage technology (not invest in new research) and require their subcontractors to do the same.
- Job creation will be created by infrastructure deployment and protecting the frontline communities by raising structures, since no seawall is going to prevent a 16-foot storm surge.
- Implement H.R.763 – Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019.
Clean-energy research is not as important as implementation of existing technology, which will provide income to the clean energy industrial complex to leverage productive past investments while providing real world application and testing for modifications. Building the infrastructure to fix Climate Change is a huge job market.
Here is a link to the Congressional Record where the search term is climate change
Earth Lobbyist members will endorse wise use of our land and resources, identifying factual, non-partisan solutions to climate change that will provide measurable atmospheric carbon reduction in the immediate future.
Here you can see retiring members of Congress whose districts will be electing new representation in 2022. An Earthlobbyist endorses candidates who will vote for the environment before special interests ( that seek to profit from continued destruction of our planet). Eighteen of these candidates represented voters who did not support the climate in the HR 9 ( Paris Treaty Implementation) vote below.
Here is a link to the Cook Political Report, a non partisan review of the 2020 election For over 33 years The Cook Political Report has become known as a preeminent source of non-partisan political analysis that many rely on for accurate political forecasting.
An Earthlobbyist knows the environmental politics of their representatives. People who elect representatives who vote against conservation, carbon elimination and clean energy are threatening everybody who lives here now, and in the future.
The Primary Directive of Earthlobbyist is to meet people who deny climate change so we can talk with them about their beliefs, where they live and vote. An Earthlobbyist can travel to contested legislative districts where we will talk with voters about the urgency of voting for environmental stewardship, for ourselves and our posterity, while experiencing roots causes of climate denial. If we can not travel we can write, call and respectfully communicate via the internet.
Here you can see the full text of H. R. 9, as voted on May 6, 2019, to direct the President to develop a plan for the United States to meet it’s determined contribution under the Paris Agreement, and for other purposes.

This link shows “Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases” applied to 300 Congressional Actions betweenJjan 1, 2017 and Oct 22, 2019 . You will see the majority are introduced with no action, confirming the ineffectual behavior of many climate change deniers who are also elected representatives.
As we move through history toward the 2020 National Elections, now is the time to meet climate change deniers where they live and vote. The continued election of representatives who deny climate change will cost everyone time that can not be recovered, as every day we wait adds to the damage the grandchildren will endure.
After reading “Losing Earth” in August 2018, I founded EarthLobbysit.com to support my goal to hopefully travel and meet Climate Change Deniers where they live and vote.
In Spring 1977, over forty-two years ago, Rafe Pomerance and Betsy Agle read Page 66 of EPA-600/7-78-019 where the author, “noted that the continued use of fossil fuels might, within two or three decades, bring about ‘significant and damaging’ changes to the global atmosphere.”
Earthlobbyist demands accountability of elected representatives who have failed to vote for climate protection and atmospheric carbon reduction. Elected representatives who vote against conservation, carbon elimination and against clean energy are threatening everybody who lives now, and in the future.
Thank You for your considerations. David Carr revised this page on 11/25/2021.
