The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies.

In his words: “September 2017 smashed multiple climate records, alarming scientists and further negating a favorite talking point of climate science deniers.”
In this post, Dr. Romm, invited by MasterResource, updates readers on recent monthly temperatures in light of the ‘global lukewarming’ position.]
