"If this seems like a niche issue, I can assure you it is not. I spent 17 years at the helm of CARB, and I am deeply disturbed by the potential co-opting of public input processes using forgery through automated tools. Gathering public input is fundamental to the legitimacy of regulatory agencies."

The latest monthly fire season outlook is up, and it's a doozy. Forecasts look similar a year ago, and the season ended up being below average in terms of acreage, so that's worth bearing in mind. But with the historic snow drought, this could be a big one. www.nifc.gov/nicc-files/p...

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

seeing a lot of "higher gas prices won't affect me because I don't drive very much" and unfortunately it is my sad duty to inform you that your food does not teleport to the grocery store

The whole concept of “certified” “clean” methane gas is just an elaborate PR cover for the oil and gas industry to expand exports. Every objective third party study shows that methane is leaking constantly, often at levels that make it as bad as coal for climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The U.S. snuck in a whole bombing campaign last month with almost no attention. It was in Ecaudor, where the fight against narcos reinforced the increasingly authoritarian rule of President Daniel Noboa, who has suspended the largest opposition party & arrested its leaders. Ellen Ioanes reports.

Excited to see this piece out in The Guardian. An honor to work with @amywestervelt.bsky.social and Marcello Rossi on this www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

we spent the last 80 years building a network of international alliances to secure global peace and prosperity and in the space of 14 months we've blown it all up for no reason whatsoever.

i actually unfriend people over stuff in the first column too tho. imagine being against fully funded schools or transit. nasty business

So he killed dozens and dozens of little children, disrupted global trade, crapped on our allies, raised the price of gas by a buck or more and sacrificed more than a dozen young American soldiers - for what exactly? They’re not even talking about nuclear weapons anymore.

"We can't make the roads any less deadly, so it's on you to creep through the urban fabric like a soldier on the battlefield, perpetually fearful & alert."

Dangling keys above Wall Street’s head to keep the Gambling Babies distracted and happy.

America's biggest planned gas plant is for a data centre. When it's operational, it'll emit the same as the old coal plant. That's because even though it generates more energy, the new data centre demands so much of it that emissions remain just as high. blog.gridstatus.io/hype-or-hype...

you ever about how the Tea Party got attention partly because there was a genuine fear that those losers might get violent, because the media considers every grievance from the right a legitimate threat and every grievance from the left a self-indulgent whine

Climate change and differences in state-level regulations are making home insurance less accessible and affordable nationwide.

Once again, Washington State is leading the way as one of the first states to officially ban federal agents from wearing face masks. Now, we need to vote to put real guardrails — including no masks — in place for ICE and CBP on the federal level.

thoughts on today: 1) the protests are good, actually 2) you should go to one of you can 3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy 4) you might meet people who you can organize with 5) there are more of us than there are of them 6) we are going to win

Strong agree It’s good that a bunch of normies (not just self-identified activists) are angry & mobilizing in the streets against fascism. Any organizer with any skill will dive headfirst into that situation and try to win people to their position & put folks to work for the cause.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Climate change is fueling a surge in Illinois home insurance premiums chicago.suntimes.com/environment/...

Overthrowing a billionaire-backed fascist regime requires high bar, sustained, civil disobedience. And this requires connecting people into communities and showing we are the majority, our beliefs are the common sense norm. Both things are true.

More and more people are saying www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is the FCC Chairman, who is ostensibly a non-partisan industry regulator, openly bragging about conducting a political purge of the media.

How bad is climate change fucking up *your* state's insurance premiums? Find out!

"Our fossil fuel economy is a house of cards and Trump's war in Iran is about to topple it. The need for a clean energy transition has never been clearer" | My new commentary for @livescience.com: www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

Good news for Warren Buffett’s Wyoming coal plants, bad news for anyone in the region who pays an electricity bill, even worse news for Morrow County residents who require clean water to live.

How about some good Oregon news to start the day? Klamath Tribes have recorded naturally hatched Chinook salmon for the first time in over a 100 years, according to Southern Oregon’s Jefferson Public Radio.

The economic damage from weeks of historic flooding in Hawaiʻi has climbed above $2 billion. Why are everyday people picking up that entire tab while the Big Oil companies driving climate change paying nothing? www.civilbeat.org/2026/03/shou...

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

At the NAIC spring meeting this week, insurance commissioners spoke of a goal of fortifying one million American homes, which a new report shows is less than the scale of what’s needed in Atlanta www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Yes!

The labor movement is not anti-tech. We’re anti-greed. We’re against tech being used against us, without our input or consent. The decisions we make on A.I. now will impact us 50 years down the road. That’s why we’re fighting for guardrails—to protect our jobs and our freedoms.

The best proof that the White House had no idea this was coming is that all the people who are front running oil markets and betting markets on every Trump tweet didn't bother to refill the SPR before they started doing stupid shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/b...

"It might sound like a stretch to ask oil companies to pay for someone else’s property insurance costs — but insurance experts say it comes from a principle that’s well-established in the law: When you cause harm, you have to pay for the damage." @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/03/24/c...

"The Trump administration’s answer to expensive insurance is to encourage homeowners to simply buy less of it." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

In fairness, I don't understand why Maher is getting an award for humor either.

less talk about cold plunges and jawlines, more building your wife a table and your kids a playset

It's now nearly impossible to hold polluters accountable in Utah after Governor Spencer Cox signed new legislation that gives sweeping legal immunity to corporations that cause climate harms. Utahns deserve better. They deserve accountability.

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap. Lawmakers who've done the math want answers. My latest @wired.com:

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

People died for this. He wore his stupid hat when they were wheeling those dead Americans past him. The fuck are we doing here man

Good reporting by Emily Sanders on efforts by oil & gas industry to weaken EU methane rules. Industry also claims US LNG is low in methane emissions, so some hypocrisy on their part. @emdashsanders.bsky.social www.exxonknews.org/p/as-war-on-...

* 2015-2025 was the hottest 11 years on record * Earth’s energy imbalance is the highest in 65-year record * The ocean has been absorbing about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades Probably fine.

Predicting we're about to learn something heinous about how this app is being used and you can probably guess what it is. Kind of sudden action you take when you're trying to get ahead of a pending PR crisis
