“There’s this tragedy of killing freedom of speech. … The reason this is happening is because [Trump officials] don’t have the superpower of comedy,” said Staci Roberts-Steele of @weareyellowdot.bsky.social I got to interview some very cool comedy writers and experts for today’s story. 🎭

For the latest episode of #ClimateCalifornia, we joined Sam and Ale from @goodluckmedia.bsky.social to talk about our podcast #SABOTAGE, and how storytelling can speed the pace of change. Watch it here: www.pbs.org/video/now-8p...

Donny, you are out of your element.

The Trump administration’s attacks on national parks continue This time, they’ve removed both physical signs and website mentions describing how climate change is damaging the parks Because if you remove the info, famously, the problem goes away www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Today's media apocalypse makes it a good day for everyone to watch this 1998 SNL animation that Robert Smigel and Adam McKay managed to get on national TV once, before it was yanked off the air forever. www.cracked.com/article_4100...

Our energy choice: "An extraordinary development for humanity" or "insanity."

We 🔥 Moses Storm. His time in the sauna was wacky, honest, and hilarious. In other words, it was just like a Moses Storms standup set, but with a little more sweat, and a lot more robe.

POV: You work at Edelman and do PR for Exxon.

Oil companies love to call solar "alternative energy" as if it's less than oil, gas, and coal. In fact, fossil fuel is the alternative. The sun is the source of all energy on Earth, including fossil fuels. They are a fart in the wind compared to how much energy we get continuously from the sun.

"At this pace, CA will be 100% [clean energy] 24/7/365 by 2035." And we're barely even trying! Imagine what California (or anywhere) could do if all leaders actually called out the danger of fossil fuels, ended subsidies, and made the biggest polluters actually pay for the damage they've done.

"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."

And that's why she's the 2x Survivor champion and GOAT! Even when subjected to extreme temperature and alarming facts, Parvati Shallow still offers a 🎯 analysis of the human psyche and motivations of Big Oil executives. Full #HeatedConversations episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdov...

No no let's keep getting our energy the way we always have: Drill mile deep holes in the ground, pump them full of toxic fluid to get oil & gas, ship it, toxically refine it, ship it again, toxically burn it releasing pollution that heats the world to mass extinction. 🧠 www.msn.com/en-us/scienc...

"The Black Widow." A two-time Survivor champion. Considered by many to be the Survivor GOAT. But can Parvati Shallow survive the 200° sauna? And how much will she dance in it!? Episode 3 of Heated Conversations with Esteban Gast drops TONIGHT at 5 pm PT on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@heated.conv...

On the day the Department of Energy posted this, Washington, DC had 12 hours 51 minutes of daylight. 12 hours 51 minutes of (free) solar energy would power the entire world for 11 years 11 months 3 days. These people are blocking abundant, affordable energy so they can keep selling us shit.

Rogan is a knob. But his influence is real. And he's unfortunately not alone. This story shows why it's so important for every one of us to use our voices to challenge the flood of climate denial throughout media.

It was a pleasure to sweat it out in the sauna and talk climate change with Esteban Gast for Heated Conversations youtu.be/0GzvXqQcov8?...

He's already one of the smartest people in comedy. So we tried to make him the sweatiest, too. Watch the new episode of #HeatedConversations with Esteban Gast featuring @adamconover.net, now live on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gzv...

Oh good, just what we needed. Thanks, Exxon! "Researchers analyzed over a billion social media posts and found that when temperatures exceeded 95°F (35°C), expressed sentiments became more negative, particularly in lower-income countries where effects were three times stronger."

"Today, fossil fuels are our weapons of mass destruction. They kill more people on this planet every year than anything else. Even before we calculate the toll from climate change, air pollution alone kills 8 million people each year. Fossil fuels are the greatest threat to human life."

Sing it, and sing it louder! “The things that we can do [are] really very simple. It’s clean energy technology, right now... There’s a blanket of pollution around the Earth. The summers feel hot, everything is hot, the weather patterns are shifting. Nobody wants that."

Simmer down Keith, we're trying to cool the planet, not make it HOTTER! Watch Episode 1 of Heated Conversations with Esteban Gast featuring THE TRY GUYS: youtu.be/XxjJaoo2URU

There. It. Is: "Renewables might now be cheaper than fossil fuel in the vast majority of cases, but this makes them less attractive to capital, not more. Fossil fuels are uncompetitive and highly profitable. Renewables are highly competitive and not very profitable."

Oil companies are keeping oil and gas affordable by shortening the amount of time you'll have to buy them for. Thanks, ExxonMobil!

"This is just our new reality and we need to be prepared. We need a change in mindset and a recognition that this can, and probably will, happen in so many parts of our country" Because Oil Companies Didn't Want Us To Have Clean Energy.

"overnight warmth elevates health hazards by preventing the body from recovering from the heat of the day, especially in cities, and for people without air conditioning."

According to actual legal experts, mass deaths from extreme heat isn't just weather: It's literal, legal murder. If there was mountains of evidence that your actions killed a bunch of people, of course you would be held responsible. Oil companies shouldn't be treated any differently.

We need an "In Bed" rule for extreme weather headlines, except add "Thanks to Big Oil's Avoidable Pollution." ‘We’re being cooked alive:’ Europe burns as temperatures soar above 100 degrees Thanks to Big Oil's Avoidable Pollution:

Joe Rogan might call this a brutal KO, if it wasn't him getting knocked the F out. A supremely delightful takedown by @climatetown.bsky.social of Rogan's confident, ignorant, and dangerous climate denial.

Good reminder that denial isn't just reserved for lying politicians or oil CEOs. Denial is anyone failing to grasp that the world of our past no longer exists — eg developers building homes that can't withstand current temperature, let alone higher temperatures of the very near, very real future.

The real reason for the dangerous heat around the world right now. @climatechris.bsky.social breaks it down:

Great news: We're still going to be able to see the hurricanes that the federal government and fossil fuel companies are knowingly making bigger and more destructive!

Serious, gourmet shit!

💩: "We're unleashing American energy." Reality: They're unleashing extreme weather chaos and selling Americans out to Big oil CEOs to pay back half a billion dollars in legal political bribes.

It "functions more as an ideological manifesto than a legitimate scientific review. Its release marks a low point in the politicization of federal climate science... This is not how science is done. This is how propaganda is packaged." @climatechris.bsky.social takes down this dangerous new 💩:

The sun gives us 10,000 times more energy than we use. A few weeks of sun is more energy than all known reserves of oil, gas, and coal. The sun's energy is free. Solar power was invented in the 1800s. But yeah, let's keep burning the stuff that is quite literally burning down our world.💡

The fossil fuel industry has done a great job with decades of propaganda and shiny commercials and thousands of paid advocates in politics that half this country doesn’t understand the gravity of the situation even as their homes and families wash down the rivers.

Continuing to prop up oil, gas, and coal will burn down the world, sure — but first: the US economy!

It’s OK, because the Trump administration now says greenhouse gases aren’t bad for you.
