🏃We need to go faster🏃♀️ Yes, policy is increasing in quality and quantity. But we are still far off. The plot below show the change in ambition, stringency, implementation, and comprehensiveness since 2020. The further out, the better. We are inching up, but need to speed up.

It's good to be back on the Onewheel after a hiatus. It's a helleva lot easier and cheaper than going snowboarding, (but the falls are more consequential).
