Encouraging momentum in the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter’s 2025 Status Report—a positive sign of continued effort from companies working to cut methane emissions. To turn pledges into action, transparency is essential. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3JLTpJB

Excellent, clear-eyed clean energy perspective to cut through the noise on 10 big things from 10 years since landmark Paris Accord. Positive preview: Solar power spread much faster than projected & EVs are now a norm worldwide with 20% of all cars sold. https://nyti.ms/4owAD85

Stunning visuals demonstrate strange science of "hidden rivers in the sky." In past 85 years, per WaPo, the amount of water vapor moving through Earth’s atmosphere has increased by 12%—"equivalent to 35 Mississippi Rivers flowing through the air every second." https://wapo.st/47ynUKE

10 yrs ago, the Aliso Canyon gas leak forced 11k families from their homes, made thousands sick & released 100k tons of planet-warming methane. Today, lessons are seemingly forgotten as Trump EPA rolls back oil & gas methane protections—putting communities & climate at risk https://bit.ly/4oDoTR2

South Korea makes a major proactive move turning large parking lots (80+ vehicles) into solar powerhouses. Shaded spots expand clean energy use, bolsters grid, protects cars & generates infrastructure jobs, among other "tangible benefits to the public." https://bit.ly/4ov0Dkc

The operation of a coal plant in Michigan that the Trump Administration has ordered to remain open is costing taxpayers $615,000 — a day — and harming public health & air quality thru the Midwest. With clean energy cheaper & more abundant than ever, why is this admin... 1/2

Southeast clean energy transition shifts into high gear as states clearly set ambitious solar power and battery storage goals, per new regional report, with FL, GA, NC & SC all going big on clean gigawatts. https://bit.ly/43JRVGl

Excellent analysis of EV market. Plenty of tipping points influencing decision to drive a clean ride as experts predict a "softer landing thanks to timely parachutes from automakers": discounts, incentives and broader offerings at lower price points. https://bit.ly/4qA4q0V

💔 Devastating. Satellite imagery captured the devastating storm damage across Jamaica on Wednesday, the day after Hurricane Melissa made landfall on the country’s southwestern coast. Melissa struck Jamaica as a powerful Category 5 storm on Tuesday morning.

It takes a (clean energy) village—and CT & ME plan to join forces as renewable tax credit deadlines loom. States nationwide see such streamlining as way to beat Fed phaseouts & expedite wind and solar projects for 2026. https://bit.ly/3LeFAnc

A climate change trend that'll keep sweaters in the closet longer as record hot summers stretch into fall. First freezes arrived 12 days later on average from 1970-2024, per nationwide analysis, covering almost 90% of 204 cities studied. https://bit.ly/4ocKOP3

A renewable ramp-up so bright it might require shades 😎 Expect clean energy news led by solar power to shine worldwide w/ buildout of 4.6K gigawatts forecast from 2025-30. That's 2x amount of previous 5 years as "growth has essentially been exponential." https://bit.ly/47Ed8DU

10 years ago, the Aliso Canyon gas leak forced 11,000 families from their homes, made thousands of people sick and released 100,000 tonnes of planet-warming methane. 1/2

Solar steps up as smaller cities & indigenous communities adapt to impacts of Colorado River power losses. Gila River utility solar supply jumped to 30% in 3 years with plans for more. Boulder City added 5 megawatts & looking at other renewable options. https://bit.ly/4hmiszj

By postponing adoption of the Net Zero Framework, IMOHQ slowed progress toward a fair & effective shipping transition. Countries must use this time to strengthen ambition—not stall it—and deliver regulations that move the sector beyond fossil fuels. https://bit.ly/4o4lpad

Global heat extremes are testing our limits. A new Climate Central & @wwattribution.bsky.social study shows how even small temperature increases have made deadly heatwaves more intense and frequent. The Paris Agreement has helped hold back the worst—but there’s still work to do. 🧵

🦬 🦬 🦬 A herd of bison was seen running across a bridge at Yellowstone National Park on Sunday, October 12. Video was captured at Lamar River Bridge by Cindy Shaffer, a Montana native. “It’s a beautiful day here at Yellowstone. We got a little snow and the critters are on the move."

Absolutely amazing example of how to author an EV success story. Norway's focused strategy led to 88.9% of new car consumers choosing EVs in 2024. So far in 2025: 95-97%. “We can say that the goal has been achieved.” https://bit.ly/4hfCqeL

As power demand surges, abundant and affordable clean energy can fill the supply gaps. So why is a major solar project being canceled under the Trump admin? Arbitrary decisions like this do nothing to lower electricity costs—they make the problem worse. https://bit.ly/3KRPgns

On the last week of #HispanicHeritageMonth, we’re reflecting on 5 key takeaways from EcoMadres' second annual summit—lessons we’ll carry forward this month and beyond! https://www.momscleanairforce.org/ecomadres-summit-takeaways/

EVs keep driving clean transportation gains, better air quality AND new car sales. UK is latest to see all 3 in a September to remember with 72.7K sold (23.3% share). Overall market jumped 13.7% with EVs at 50.8% of new car registrations. Best in 5 years! https://reut.rs/433OmdM

There's something so uplifting about seeing a rising clean energy line cross into record-breaking territory—this chart showing the milestone in terawatts! Solar + wind not only met "all new electricity demand" in first 1/2 of 2025, but displaced "a bit of fossil fuel use," too https://bit.ly/3IU6ccw

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Listening to and uplifting Hispanic/Latine voices is key to co-creating climate solutions that work for everyone—and a building stronger, healthier future.

Booming EV infrastructure keeps gathering kilowatts across the US! This fast-charger network was in 25 states less than a year ago; now it's in 40. 850 new Fast-charger stalls in 2 years. Communities large and small are benefitting from "freedom of fueling choice for every driver.”

AI is everywhere—including in our electric bills. As energy demands 📈 across US, costs are 📈 for consumers, & Trump Admin's response is… bringing back coal? This will only raise energy costs, & the American taxpayer is expected to pay for it. @aripeskoe.bsky.social explains on @pbsnews.org:

Deforestation kills. New @nature.com study shows heat-related illness from deforestation has claimed over half a million lives in the tropics in the past 20 years. This new research is a stark reminder of why protecting forests is critical to protecting people. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
