A collection with clear limits.
What is included
We started with 15 reviewed records: nine legislative examples and six organization, voting, or evidence resources. State bill examples initially cover California, Illinois, and New York. National resources do not establish verified local coverage in every state.
Selection and review
Congress.gov title screening and Open States full-text searches look for climate, greenhouse, clean energy, renewable energy, and methane. Discovery is bounded to a selected recent sample. Irrelevant uses of “climate” are filtered out. All new matches remain private until a human reviews and approves them. Climate-related does not mean climate-supportive.
Updates and freshness
Legislative collection runs daily at 06:00 UTC, starting with the previous 30 days and then using a 48-hour overlap. Approved factual fields can refresh automatically. Description, title, amendment, and conflicting status changes are held for review. Procedural status and the latest event are displayed separately. Failed imports preserve approved records and are reported above the collection.
Organization resources remain curated. Links are checked weekly. A reachable directory or campaign hub is not proof of a current volunteer opening. Participation links are suppressed when evidence becomes stale.
Sources and reuse
Congress.gov / Library of Congress supplies federal metadata for public reuse. Open States / Plural Open provides legislative data under a public-domain dedication unless otherwise noted. Original state legislative sources remain authoritative. Organization entries use original short descriptions and links; we do not republish their pages, images, member lists, or proprietary datasets.
How answers work
The assistant retrieves approved records first. It can select relevant evidence excerpts and a short introduction. Source cards, dates, status, and links come directly from the database. Unrecognized citations or unsupported wording trigger source lookup instead. Answers may still be incomplete. Verify details at the original source.
Privacy and independence
No visitor account is required. The application stores no conversation transcripts. Rate limits use a daily salted network-address hash that expires after two days. Cloudflare processes requests and may retain platform security and operational data under its own policies. This is an independent research project and does not imply Cornell University endorsement or affiliation.
