The U.S.’s clean energy industry has survived — and thrived — for a whole year under the One Big Beautiful Bill. What’s next?

After Trump axed federal employees running climate site, thousands crowdfund its comeback

I wanted to share my thoughts on the proposed OMB rule change that would radically transform federal grant-making into an overtly partisan political process. It's highly alarming, and would be devastating for American science (among many other things).

President Trump just lost at the Supreme Court on a signature executive order he signed on day one of his presidency. He tried rewriting the Constitution to redefine who is a citizen — and we stopped him.

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

“One reason why chalk might be effective lies in the properties of its main component, calcium carbonate, which is not only highly reflective but also resistant to solar radiation. This property has led some researchers to use nanoparticles of calcium carbonate in new kinds of "super cool" paint.”

What makes this story so unsettling is not just that the gas industry is hiding its role in kids' classrooms It's WHAT they're teaching kids: not climate denial, but that fossil fuels are common sense + that it's unrealistic to move away from them. They're screwing with kids' sense of possibility

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Not 2050. Today in France. Peak Temps. Every pink number is 40C+ (104F+) with many stations at 44C+ (111F+). A previously impossible heatwave, soon to be an annual tradition, only hotter. #heatwave #Europe

While legacy media covers Trump's disgraceful UFC fight as if it's normal and his capitulation to Iran as if it's a real cease fire, Democracy Docket is exposing Trump's plot to undermine free and fair election. No compromises, no bent knees, no both-sides. Subscribe now to support. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A new type of solar panel is catching on in Europe. We should embrace it in America. I’m in the NYT today with the case for plug-in solar: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/o...

Confession time: I've now been to the Hollywood Climate Summit three times, and I always have fun. It that OK? Is climate change allowed to be fun? Anyway it's my favorite climate conference and I tried to explain why: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/hollywood-...

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

The energy crisis is spurring #electrification. Especially on EV's, especially in Asia⚡️

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Took me a year, but I finally read "Abundance." Here's my review, which is extremely measured and free of hot takes! www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/abundance-...

For the first time ever, wind and solar generated more electricity worldwide than gas in April: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... via @danmccarthy.bsky.social

Short version: Lots of useful ideas for dealing with climate change! Also lots of shortcomings. This book will not save the world. It's also way more nuanced than the "abundance bros" you often find on the internet. Reading books is good. Let's all read more books.

A Super El Niño is approaching, potentially the strongest El Niño we’ve seen in a century, and Trump is proposing to cut weather agency NOAA by 26 percent to save money for taxpayers Meanwhile the amount it’s proposing to cut from NOAA is equivalent to 1.3 days of taxpayer spending on the Iran war

The war in Iran has sent oil-starved countries scrambling for fuel. Many are opting for energy alternatives — and turning to the renewables king of the planet: China.

This @carbonbrief.org explainer on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is very good. Useful for experts and novices alike. Kudos to @ceciliakeating.carbonbrief.org, @tomoprater.carbonbrief.org and @kerryanncleaver.bsky.social. interactive.carbonbrief.org/amoc-explain...

In Florida, Gov. Desantis signs a bill that would prohibit Florida cities from tracking their greenhouse gas emissions. Yes, you heard that right. Never mind doing anything about them: they're not allowed to *track them*.

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

Nuclear displaced oil in the electricity mix after the 1970s oil shocks. Today, solar, wind and batteries are displacing LNG for power generation, outcompeting on scalability, cost and security ☀️🔋 ember-energy.org/lat...

The @nytimes.com's "War in Iran Triggers Chaos in Global Oil Market" explored how the world has changed since the 70s but failed to mention electric cars. EVs now make up over a quarter of car sales worldwide and is a key technology reducing global dependency on oil. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/p...

This looks like a complicated chart, but in fact it's some of the simplest and best news imaginable: batteries are quickly turning night into noon. Worth a read if I say so myself open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Now we have some exciting news to report: Kate will be returning to Project Drawdown this April to lead new work focused on "emergency brake" climate solutions! 🌎 “I’m unbelievably excited to return to Project Drawdown." drawdown.org/news/world-r...

BIG, EXCITING NEWS! Dr. Kate Marvel @drkatemarvel.bsky.social -- world-leading climate scientist and author -- is coming to Project Drawdown after leaving NASA. She will be a Senior Scientist, leading an exciting new initiative on "Emergency Brake" climate solutions. drawdown.org/news/world-r...

Thanks to @drkatemarvel.bsky.social for speaking with me this morning about why she decided to leave NASA, the work she was doing, her concerns about federal science and also what gives her hope. 🧪

As @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains here, when the US admin ended the NASA climate modeling group's office lease, they were kicked out of their building -- and "have been kind of couch surfing at various NYC universities and libraries" since then. Unbelievable. Read more here:

Meanwhile, when Trump does the thing, it doesn't make the front page of NYT and congressional Dems trudge ahead with permitting reform. “Keep reminding yourself, this is not normal. Write it on a Post-it note and stick it on your refrigerator.” www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/shackled-m...

Tried to game out what it would look like if President Kamala Harris pressured an oil company into accepting a $1-billion payoff to cancel a fracking project in Texas and build a wind farm in CA. Screaming headlines for months. Talk of impeachment. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/shackled-m...

🌟 Join us on April 13 in Sacramento for the #CAClimateSummit. Register at theclimatecenter.org/summit2026 We'll discuss how accelerated climate action can make California more affordable, resilient, and safe in the face of climate impacts.

Tesla is shipping Semis! Truckers say that once they drive one they won't go back. Less aches and pains, less noise, more control. With 500 miles of range, these trucks can now offset 10% of Class 8 trucks on the road today, even with slow 350kW charging.

ICYMI, @coveringclimatenow.org asks "why are much of the world’s media backsliding when it comes to the coverage of climate change?" There may be some explanations, but there are no excuses. Climate coverage is not an "afterthought" or "luxury" - it is vital coveringclimatenow.org/from-us-stor...

In New England, two commercial-scale offshore wind farms reached important milestones on Friday at a time when the conflict in Iran is upending global energy markets and exposing once again the painful costs of fossil fuel dependency More here #offshorewind www.oneearthnow.org/p/us-offshor...

South Fork -the first fully operational, commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the US - has been supplying clean power to grid since 2024. In Nov I joined a boat tour to see it up close “[The turbines] look to me like a livable planet" said @roselund.bsky.social www.sierraclub.org/sierra/2026-...

Did you know what causes Ice Ages? It is the Earth’s orbital cycles, known since Milanković computed them in the 1920s. When you drive a climate model with these cycles, it will correctly reproduce the sequence of Ice Ages as we know it from paleoclimate data. www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...

I'll be talking with the great Ali @velshi.com about the record heat out west and how it's tied to human-caused climate change TONIGHT ~10:35pm ET on @ms.now @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social www.ms.now/the-last-word

I just submitted my letter to NSF responding to its proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). I argue that doing so would be an astonishing and avoidable misstep, and that federal support for the institution should in fact be *increased.* [1/4]

Jim Sallee's EI blog today on how trump's misguided tariffs will bring inexpensive and impressive Chinese EV's to our neighbors. US auto policy only makes sense if climate change isn't real and EV tech progress will slow drastically. Pretty stupid bet. energyathaas.wordpress.com/2026/03/02/t...

CNN will soon be controlled by David Ellison. If democracy is to survive, a vibrant independent media ecosystem is critical. My ask: cancel your Paramount/Warner subscriptions and sign up for as many pro-democracy outlets as you are able. You can start with Democracy Docket: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

the epidemic of men launching podcasts about nothing has gotten out of control to combat this I am launching a podcast WITH A WOMAN (veteran climate journalist Tracy Wholf) to talk about stuff that actually matters (the planet being destroyed by the worst people alive) Find subscribe links here:

U.S. power plant developers and operators plan to add 86GW of new utility-scale electric generating capacity to the US grid in 2026, a record if realized. Solar power makes up 51% of the planned 2026 capacity additions, followed by battery storage at 28% and wind at 14%. www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...
