The person who circulated it is Jeff Nesbit from Climate Nexus (on the kitchencab listserv). I don't know
him and no idea on where he would have gotten it. GTown? NY?

I don't know that we're geared up to move up the timing and not sure about other offices either, but will

Damn it. I've made that as clear as I could in my emails. (As you've seen.) and I've not shared it with

Sam, do people understand this is embargoed until 10am? I just got a copy of the letter sent
around on an enviro listserv. It's imperative that folks don't get out ahead of all our Govs on this.
