The great #fastfolk songwriter #jessewelles just noted: “Jimmy Kimmel let me sing “the poor” in front of the nation on his show. no one else would let me do that. this is a slippery slope.” Glad I began riding the Jesse train back in 2024: revkin.substack.com/p/an-electio...

The United States is a country where comedians must take care not to offend the ruling party if they want to keep their jobs.

Just in case anyone here's in Bar Harbor Maine tomorrow afternoon and wants to duck into a gorgeous church from 5-6 pm to hear a batch of my newest songs... #songwriter #livemusic #mdi

It’s fantastic to see @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social showing again and again how musicians can make a difference.

ha. oh.

For the first time in more than 10,000 years, wild horses once again roam Spain’s northwestern highlands. The 35 horses introduced by Rewilding Spain are bringing renewed resilience to the land, Mongabay senior editor Jeremy Hance reported.

What a great and nightmarish tale about privileged New Yorkers who allegedly poisoned trees on an elderly neighbor’s property here in Maine to gain a harbor view. Link in 🧵.. (attn @tomkimmerer.bsky.social )

The @nytimes.com responds to Trump's #lawfare defamation lawsuit.

One lot of very rich people: Climate change? No such thing. Another lot: Better move the yacht club up the hill.

The Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, is currently hosting Charlie Kirk’s (for-profit) podcast from the White House complex. He’s going to be doing this for 2 hours. Could you imagine if Vice President Harris had wasted two hours hosting Pod Save America?

9/18, 5 pm ET Free Bar Harbor Maine appearance by Andrew Revkin - best known as a prize-winning author and journalist but also a longtime #songwriter who frequently backed Pete Seeger in Hudson Valley shows and has opened for Don McLean, Dar Williams and David Wilcox Music.

The sea level rise adaptation capacity gap is so vast. In Seal Harbor, Maine, the zillionaires are raising $5.5 million to move this 100 year-old yacht club - immersed by our region’s winter king tide storm - about 20 feet up the hill side. #climatechange

A new apple tree springs from behind one toppled by our Downeast Maine winter coastal storms. #resilience

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho. In 24 hours. All Democratic or left-leaning victims. All suspected MAGA perpetrators.

For those tracking the @ucs.org @envdefensefund.bsky.social lawsuit challenging Trump's Energy Department "climate working group" and report, you can listen in to the US federal Court hearing in Boston Thursday at 2 pm Eastern. Signup link in post: revkin.substack.com/i/173289472/...

Congress reacting normally, of course

BREAKING #doeclimatereport news. Ahead of Thursday's US District Court hearing in Mass, @envdefensefund.bsky.social and @ucs.org file a sledge-hammer reply to Team Trump's effort to wiggle out of their lawsuit. The full reply is downloadable in the Sustain What post.

Team Trump is trying to moot the @ucs.org EDF lawsuit on the DOE climate report but lots of questions erupting.

We Know How to Combat Violent Crime. Sending In the Troops Isn’t It. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/o...

Great Bloomberg team does the thankless grunt work of laying out just how profound the Trump attack on climate science and clean energy is.

293 mph / 472 kph --- BYD's YANGWANG U9 is now the world's fastest electric car www.livescience.com/technology/e...

Fun and useful clean energy provocations from @akshatrathi.bsky.social (particularly in predicting Vaclav Smil’s assertion that all energy transitions are slow will be proved wrong)

Thinking back to my last (2011) visit to the Indian Point #nuclearenergy plant as I catch up with Charlie Komanoff: "Five years on, the Indian Point disaster is its shutdown / Turning off Indian Point has devastated electricity decarbonization in NY State." 1/

Bravo, @khadeejasafdar.bsky.social & Joe Palazzolo of WSJ for continuing to dig. ~~~ Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

this is another of those bizarre things where if your local city councilperson did it there'd be incredible outrage but nobody cares if the president of the united states does it

FWIW I agree!

You're just getting started co-writing a book with famed songwriter John Prine and he dies a month in to the COVID-19 pandemic. What do you do? I asked author Tom Piazza. The full interview (with some singing) is below. 1/2

Query to @andrewdessler.com @bobkopp.net @thehonestbroker.bsky.social on the #DOEclimate report. In the @wsj.com, Steve Koonin describes the report as "peer reviewed." Did you see evidence of a formal peer review process? 1/2

Why is this a deep secret? Pass it on

Live tonight at 7pm Eastern, join me with John Prine’s friend and memoir collaborator Tom Piazza and some fine musicians sustaining his songbook. #folkmusic #songwriting open.substack.com/pub/revkin/p...

Once more, with feeling. Using Kernza, a perennial grain with 1/3 the yield of wheat, to make crackers and beer for rich people is NOT a climate solution. Only at the end does this piece quote @mikegrunwald.bsky.social on Kernza's yield problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/b...

So this 2016 post from @rbreich.bsky.social popped into my Facebook feed today. When Lindsey Graham was still slightly sane.... Reich's question is haunting: "Do you think other Republicans will take the off ramp?"

Grateful to @bobkopp.net for posting in detail about his interactions with Michael Shellenberger, who's so clearly been seduced by #singlestudysyhdrome - picking a #sealevel paper that suits his premise, quality be damned. revkin.substack.com/i/88807214/b...

So many great bumper stickers in Maine. “Glacial erratic fan club” OMG GOP WTF

Wonderful research on historical proxies for species and ecosystem richness. Recalling my @nytimes.com coverage of menus and oysters! 1/2

I’ve partnered with the Center for Wildlife Studies to make an online take-at-your-own-pace version of my “public science engagement using social media” professional development workshop. You can take it for graduate course credit, CPE credit, or just to learn a useful new skill.

Trump's Department of Labor servants posted this this morning: Morning Views ☀️😊 Happy Wednesday, Patriots!

One takeaway from my chat w Kopp Dessler McElWee Burgess on the DOE report review: Trumpies drew researchers into a win/lose model for debating details that obscures the robust basic picture of risks worth mitigating. It's a variant on Ali's "rope-a-dope." 1/

What's extra infuriating is Sec. Wright *does* understand energy. That means he's intentionally pushing falsehoods - presumably to ingratiate his boss. Worth noting Musk's "community notes" fact checking process actually worked in this instance (so maybe folks here should get back into the X fray?)

Has the #sealevel community here tracked how Shellenberger is pumping up Voortman’s paper finding no acceleration? Who has most thoroughly assessed that? www.public.news/p/no-evidenc...
