At least one of my friends is happy about the new nuts coming to the Whitehouse! I met this little guy on Capitol Hill a few days ago. He’s nervous but hopeful. That’s a difficult mood to conjure up for the rest of us lobbying in D.C. on behalf of action on climate change, but we’re trying with all of our hearts. I can tell you the mood is weird, in the halls of Congress, very weird. There’s a hushed, oppressive tone throughout, quieter than I’ve ever heard it, with occasional brief splashes of awkward enthusiasm from the victors. Basically, everyone’s in shock, no matter which side we’re on. You might say we’re all feeling a bit “Squirrelly”.

It’s all so strange to watch from here in Chile and we are constantly asked by everyone who we tell that we’re Americans how could this have happened. They know the ramifications of having an authoritarian dictatorship that took their rights away. We’re devestated to see what may happen to human rights but worse what will happen to the fight against climate change and all the inroads that we’ve made.
Thanks Eve for all your efforts once again, on behalf of those of us who can’t be there and especially for the human race. If I may be so bold as to speak on behalf of your fan club to say we love you. XO
