It’s wild! -70°F in Canada today. The coldest December reading in 50+ years (since 1975!) Meanwhile the US is En Fuego with 100s of record highs! Dallas hit 81 today. And the contrast is huge, over 150°F across North America. H/T 🎩 to @ThierryGooseBC

Things are really not good around the North Pole. Anomalous warmth continues, alongside record low #Arctic sea ice conditions. Nearly every time I check the data, there seems to be yet another new record this fall. More graphics: zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

Dems rely on people forgetting or not paying attention to how horrible they are.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more positive, solutions oriented climate campaigner than Mike Hudema. This is his latest post. Scientists, activists, climate journalists have a new posture lately that resembles something like desperation. Mainstream news is killing us. #ClimateActionNow

In signs for those waiting on lift lines, the ski monopoly today effectively bragged about how much it’s deciding to price gouge everyone as compared to what it charged in the 1960s. $4 in 1961 is $43 in today’s money, or about 25% of the price of the same lift ticket today.

This was one of the most oft-quoted jokes in our film. It was supposed to be a cautionary tale. It most definitely was not supposed to be a guidebook for a Matt Yglesias screed published and boosted by the New York Times.

Less than 24 hours after Trump announced he’s dismantling the nation’s climate science agency, the New York Times opinion page this morning blasted out this Matt Yglesias screed to millions of its liberal readers. That’s one hell of an editorial choice.

Sharing this because it's funny.

🚨BREAKING: Trump is waiving remaining fines against Southwest for its holiday meltdown — and he’s shut down the government suit against the airline for “chronically delayed flights.” The announcement came from the Transportation Dept, now run by former airline lobbyist Sean Duffy.

All you have to do is to see how comfortable Newsom is in declaring that he is against a billionaire tax.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused. This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

When people say “more supply of housing will lower demand which lowers prices” as a solution to housing crisis what they’re really saying is I have zero idea how finance works in 2025 and learned absolutely nothing from 07’ economic collapse.

🚨NEWS: Exxon is now petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to grant corporations a new First Amendment right to avoid disclosing how much toxic pollution they are spewing and how much they are incinerating the atmosphere that supports all life on the planet.
