Some countries are better positioned to weather this energy crisis than they would have been just a few years ago. That's because of the rapid growth of renewable energy, battery systems and electric vehicles. @npr.org interviewed me for this excellent piece: www.npr.org/2026/03/16/n...

*UPCOMING WEBINAR* On Mar 31, join the launch of a new national campaign, LNG: Not in Our National Interest. Hear from movement leaders & experts why LNG projects don't make economic sense for Canada & learn how to get involved in April's Week of Action! REGISTER stand-earth.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

3 - 5 years is easily enough time to replace this #LNG capacity with wind and #solar. (e.g. China's solar plants are not running at full capacity.) Just sayin.

Fossil capital throwing its weight behind authoritarians is a reaction to the democratic power of the global climate movement 2017-2022. Remember: over those years everyone discovered that carbon-dioxide removal is hard, so for fossil capital global decarbonization would have been apocalyptic. 1/2

Good news! Another west coast #LNG plant cancelled. Because solar is WAY less expensive. "Demand growth for LNG in Asia slowed down dramatically [because #solar] and a long-anticipated global supply surplus appeared imminent [because solar, and wind and heat pumps and . . .]. #bcpoli

As Trump makes sweeping cuts to the climate and environmental agenda, Democrats are noticeably ‘hushed’. All of this adds to a ‘spiral of silence’ in which people want climate action, but assume their peers do not… 🧪 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There's a dude with one of those who occasionally cuts through my neighborhood and 1. he's fast with that thing 2. he looks like he's having a blast.

We have choices. We can bankrupt our transportation system repairing car roads. We can buy giant vehicles for everyday errands. We can pay high gas prices. Or we can build reliable transit & wide, safe, connected bike lanes. It's our future. Speak up for what you need. (Amsterdam protest 1970s)

the number of times i have heard disability used as a shield to block making our transit better or streets safer is insane

The nonprofit Climate Visuals has published a new resource, drawing on expertise from photo editors, to help journalists select photographs and imagery for stories about climate litigation:

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

STUDY: “Bicycle lanes reduce GHG emissions as effectively as highways create them.” “Investing in networks of protected bicycle lanes has significant potential to reduce GHG emissions, lower transport costs, prevent road fatalities, & improve quality of life for people in cities around the globe.”

Good news! Drax to stop clearcutting BC forests for wood pellet power in UK (which is worse for our climate than coal, and diverts wood from other uses that provide way more jobs & value per tree). But Drax may try to export to other countries! www.theguardian.com/environment/... #bcpoli #axedrax

Journalists and pundits keep saying that the public is getting less concerned about climate change while cutting their coverage of the accelerating crisis. Perhaps there is some linkage here?

“I’m not going to beat around the bush. This book is about evil.” “It’s about the mundane, humdrum, self-assured, self-justifying, pocket-lining, smug & arrogant lies & disinformation that communications ‘professionals’ spread daily.” Read #DarkPR by our own @grantennis.bsky.social. #UrbanTruth

“…countries and cities still have the nerve to claim wider roads and highways will improve congestion (they won’t, they’ll induce more driving/traffic) and reduce emissions/pollution (they’ll do the opposite – we’ll have more cars in the same or worse congestion emitting a lot more).” #UrbanTruth

The fact that a Koch Brothers-funded front group is attacking @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and me over our book #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) is such an amusing, unintentional affirmation of what we have to say about who is behind the right-wing war on science!

Ukraine’s recovery must rely on a modern, decentralised clean #energy system. Renewables are both a #climate solution and a security strategy. Svitlana Romanko shared this at the 4th Ukraine Resilience Business Forum in Luxembourg, discussing Ukraine’s recovery and #EU integration.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

One reason climate reporters are pushed out of the newsroom: their editors refuse to allow them to tell the truth about the problem. Case in point: only 8 percent of all corporate broadcast climate segments in 2025 mentioned fossil fuels, the main driver of climate change.

"The veteran journalist resigned, citing burnout from near-constant internal fighting to get important climate stories on air—stories that he says were routinely deprioritized, buried late in newscasts, or cut entirely." #Climatesky #journalism
