"Abolishing Fossil Fuels: Lessons from Movements that Won" has a fascinating and inspiring chapter on lessons from the Abolitionist Movement and the Civil War. Quotes follow.

Interesting new video from Paul Warburg about Ukraine’s long term war strategy and how it is paying off. Worth watching - the impact on global emissions is huge: the complete dismantling of Russian fossil fuel infrastructure is part of the strategy.

Gus Speth is an inspiration to us all. Delighted to know he was part of #SunDay!

Ohioans learned about cheap, reliable solar power at @thirdactorg.bsky.social Sun Day events all across Ohio. Solar is cheaper & reliable; there's no need to frack Ohio state parks and public lands for gas and oil! @kentksmith.bsky.social @berniemoreno.bsky.social @peopleoverpetro.bsky.social

Excellent overview of the current state of the #climate movement from Zach Colman @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The EPA plans to end the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, which tracks the quantities of greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide released into the air by industrial facilities, according to an agency news release. cbsn.ws/4pnJGJb

Wonder why EVs are so much mor efficient than ICE?

A federal judge on Monday will consider a request by Danish offshore wind developer Orsted to restart work on the nearly finished Revolution Wind project, which President Donald Trump's administration halted last month.

Another great study from @oilchange.bsky.social help spread the word.

Attend Sun Day events today in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Middlefield, Yellow Springs, Athens to learn about cheap, reliable solar power to save our parks, environment and planet. @saveohioparks.bsky.social co-sponsors. @cleveland.com @daytondailynews.com @thirdactoh.bsky.social

As Sun Day dawns, some of my favorite messages are from folks who are spending the day putting panels on Habitat for Humanity houses. They will be a blessing for decades to come, making those homes truly affordable

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as over the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'feeling' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record. Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

"We know that people are not safe; there’s blood in the water and more fossil fuel sharks than ever. This attack on the endangerment finding is a clear and present danger to the public.”

It’s the same fight. On our side of the pond we seek to curtail supply. Our friends across the Atlantic strive to cut demand. In both places, people know that #LNGKills

Publishing a new briefing today, backed by several groups, exposing the EU’s risky economic bet on LNG. Read the thread below to see why LNG = economic disaster 💥 bit.ly/47PLQuW Thread below👇

1/ Banking on Liquefied “Natural” Gas #LNG to power our industry, heat our homes, and cook our meals is a TERRIBLE idea. Check the facts in the new LNG Economic Visual Guide—endorsed by 19 groups—to see why the numbers just don’t add up 🔢 👉 www.foodandwatereurope.org/factsheet/ne...

Failing to address climate change is very expensive.

Surprised? #Petrostate At work

Journalist Emily Atkin on the climate disinformation peddled by Charlie Kirk, his fundraising for TP USA in “fossil fuel spaces,” and the relationship between climate denial and far right extremism. Someone needed to follow the money and lay this out. heated.world/p/charlie-ki...

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

A little thread: Science is defiantly anti-fascist because it pursues truth, is necessarily collaborative, and relies on open communication. And because its falsifiability is incompatible with the cultism, faith-based belief systems, disinformation, and propaganda of Christian nationalism.

Leave it to @theguardian.com to run the first curtain raiser on #SunDay seen anything yet from US legacy media?

📆 Save the date: Thursday, September 25, is our next All-In Call with clean energy pioneer @jigarshahdc.bsky.social Sun Day is just the beginning. We’re keeping the momentum going ☀ RSVP here: thirdact.org/events/all-i...

Power to the People! Unlike fossil fuels, which are controlled by billionaires and corporations, the sun belongs to us all. We can use it to create all the electricity we need. Find out how at Sun Day. RSVP for more info: tinyurl.com/sundaybmore @thirdactorg.bsky.social #SunDayOfAction #Solar

Utility regulators are where the rubber meets the road - to use a tired fossil fuel metaphor. Keep an eye on yours!

Trump is trying to kill Vermont's superfund law by saying it usurps the federal government's "exclusive authority over greenhouse gas emissions," while at the same time having his EPA say the federal government won't be managing greenhouse gas emissions www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

My first reaction was to LOL, but then I read the story & got increasingly depressed by these failsons getting wealthy via corruption & taking cheap, clean energy from actual people to fuel their vast shitcoin empire while their dad slams the door on new sources www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Of the 24K heat deaths in Europe this summer, 16,500 were attributable to human-caused global heating, per a new study from @granthamicl.bsky.social & many more insideclimatenews.org/news/1709202...

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Get ready for Sun Day coming up soon: a series of national events around Sept. 21 celebrating Solar Power! Go to www.sunday.earth/events to find one or two events near you, and more are being added all the time! Tour all-electric homes, test drive EVs, find out about tax rebates, make some Sun Art!

If we can’t measure pollution, we can’t protect our air or our future. Ending the EPA greenhouse gas reporting program means flying blind on emissions and leaving communities, businesses, and national security in the dark. America should lead on clean energy, not hide the facts.

“After cuts by US President Donald Trump forced the closure of the popular climate.gov website, experts have launched an independent successor. They say climate literacy is important in Trump's war against science.” www.dw.com/en/fired-cli...

"The report’s authoring committee found that EPA’s 2009 [endangerment] finding that human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases adversely affect human health and welfare was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence." tinyurl.com/mux4w7cs

So many juicy tidbits—and big ideas—in @billmckibben.bsky.social latest substack. All this and #SunDay too?!?? open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Bill McKibben's latest The Crucial Years post introduces The Light Won't Dim, the documentary that, as he says, "will help power this work in the years ahead." Sun Day is September 21. How will you celebrate the sun? #SunDayofAction billmckibben.substack.com/p/five-days-...

The first oil giant to slash emissions was Shell. Not by choice, but because the Netherlands courts forced them into it.
