The Democrats fared better in the midterm elections than pollsters predicted and many climate organizations are celebrating the outcome of many races. In Oregon, Tina Kotek narrowly defeated Republican Christine Drazan—an anti-abortion conservative who also promised to gut regulation of fossil fuel industries in the region and roll back climate initiatives. In their Left and the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker take a sober look at how climate politics fared in the midterm elections and how climate activists in the global South are pushing for new legal strategies, including through the COP27 meetings in Egypt last week.
