Nevada just let property insurers exclude wildfire coverage. Homeowners won’t realize until it’s too late that fire isn't covered. Expect shock, underinsurance, and scrambling for expensive new policies. Plus: pressure for a federal wildfire safety net. open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying. If you squint, you might be able to see how much energy generated by Big Oil comes from renewables. For BP and Shell, it's less than half a percent. For Exxon and Chevron? ZERO, according to a new study.

The next time your elected representative preaches about "all of the above" energy policy, maybe ask if they know how many more heat deaths that means. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Nicely done, America

For the first time ever China will sell more electric cars than the US sells of gas and electric cars combined 🤯

The world’s largest battery is being built at a former coal plant in the worlds first advanced economy to transition entirely off coal Kind of tells you all you need to know about which way the wind is blowing 😎 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I hate it when someone writes a super creepy letter from me and forges my signature in a birthday gift to a close friend of mine.

I for damned sure want people to know how we got to this dangerous climate precipice, and who is to blame. I’m headed to the Senate floor to deliver my 301st Time to Wake Up speech.

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

“We will still keep fighting and speaking up to do everything we can to stop these projects, because our community doesn't want these projects,” said Bekah Hinojosa. “I mean, for us, it’s about continuing to exist here.” bit.ly/3HGtMc4

Climate change is a hoax. Right.

Tell me the president doesn’t understand the economy without telling me the president doesn’t understand the economy.

Antarctica is in extreme peril. "Abrupt changes" threaten to send the continent past the point of no return, a new study finds. grist.org/climate/anta... #Antarctica #Climate #Heat #Sea #Ocean #Ice

THIS is why communities across the country are suing Big Oil. We can't afford more billion-dollar disasters. Big Oil has known for decades that burning fossil fuels could lead to "catastrophic" climate change — but instead of warning us, they lied to delay climate action and protect their $$.

Rather than grapple with the research demonstrating that climate change will diminish labor productivity, drag down economic growth, and reshape the geographic distribution of the U.S. labor force, the Fed is neglecting the impacts of climate change and the needed policy response.

The Federal Reserve has once again left climate change off the agenda at Jackson Hole, ignoring the impacts of climate change on this year's theme: Labor Markets in Transition. www.citizen.org/news/reporte...

What Danielle said. According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2% Let me put that another way. President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

The UK is back in the clean energy game in a big, big way 👀

Donald Trump promised to lower costs for working families. He didn’t just break that promise, he betrayed it. While families struggle to afford groceries, he handed tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations. Donald Trump sold out the American people.

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens

"The rate at which humans are now injecting CO2 into the oceans & atmosphere far surpasses the planet’s ability to keep pace. We're now at the initial stages of a system failure. If we keep at it for much longer, we might see what actual failure really means." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Plastics Treaty talks are over. After 11 grueling days of delays, distractions, and gaslighting, we are leaving Geneva without a treaty. But countries stood firm against fossil-fueled interests — hope for an ambitious #PlasticsTreaty lives on. 🎥 @dlevialvares.bsky.social + @davzoul.bsky.social

Big Oil is stealing our summers. 😠 Meanwhile, the costs to protect communities from heatwaves and other extreme weather events keeps rising.

Motherfucking wind farms…

“More than nine in 10 renewable power projects globally are now cheaper than fossil fuel alternatives.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, but it’s already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world." So reports those hippies at ... [checks notes] ... the @wsj.com.

The Speaker is lying

In November community radio stations across the UK will be doing precisely this - talking about climate breakdown and encouraging their listeners to think and talk about the issues at hand in ways that are engaging and entertaining. Our Earth Week, from 10-16th November.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social‬ writes.

Saudi Arabia is investing $8 billion to deploy 15 GW of new solar and wind The US not only gutted all subsidies, it’s now forcing all projects to get a ‘political review’ from an apparatchik What a time to be a climate hawk 😲 on.ft.com/4f4u8pe

I’m going to say this again The president is taxing American consumers to try to do a favor for one of his political allies

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

Confidential 1988 Shell report: The continued use of fossil fuels could lead to “significant changes in sea level, ocean currents, precipitation patterns, regional temperature and weather.” They knew. www.climatefiles.com/shell/1988-s...

@TomSaundersABC (other place) doing a decent job with the Texas floods on NSW ABC TV news last night: iview.abc.net.au/video/NU2501.... Covered two important points: 1. Described the scale, quoting 1:1000 short-duration point rainfall. 2. Invoked global heating -- Clausius–Clapeyron on Aus TV news!

The climate-driven insurance crisis is pushing homeownership out of reach for families. That means working overtime to afford a homeowners’ insurance premium; forgoing insurance altogether; taking out loans to pay off a mortgage; or losing a home.

According to a new report by those hippies at Morgan Stanley, in the past year 55% of North American companies have experienced a #ClimateChange related event that impacted their operations or business. That's a lot!

The fossil fuel industry is turbocharging climate disasters, with deadly consequences. There must be accountability — now.

On truly bleak days, worth listening to the most bittersweet hopeful song ever. The Kamasi Washington version will let you soak in it for long minutes Power for the fight www.youtube.com/watch?v=X33V...

Insurers "can and should bring lawsuits to recover money associated with the oil and gas companies’ contributions to climate change,” says former California insurance commissioner @cadavejones.bsky.social.

Swiss Re warns “extreme heat poses a growing threat to the insurance industry” with “annual losses of $404-448 billion” just to corporate fixed assets of listed companies by 2035.

People really responded to this! If you want to know more, here’s something I wrote about the climate crisis as a real-time cost of living crisis that threatens dire economic consequences newrepublic.com/article/1969...

Systemic financial risks posed by rapidly accelerating physical climate change may start in small places. Contagion will spread. FEMA's withdrawal makes things worse. Consider the story of Clyde, TX, which defaulted on its bonds following a drought open.substack.com/pub/susanpcr...

Another great piece by @scrawford.bsky.social. "It's hot out there, and getting steadily hotter. More disruption is ahead. States might as well take advantage of the moment."

We are losing to China in a competition for the future. Instead of producing energy smarter, the U.S. is defunding cleaner, safer, and cheaper energy. So the way to make America great is to fall behind??? Make it make sense.

Thanks to GCB for detailing ways the US is heightening climate risk. Was glad to share a few thoughts

"Solar energy is kryptonite to the rich, powerful, and authoritarian. Spread the word!" @billmckibben.bsky.social

NEW: Nonpartisan analysis confirms that the benefits of Trump's "Big, Beautiful" Bill are dramatically skewed toward the wealthy while leaving struggling families WORSE off. In short: families lose, billionaires win.

When Republicans pretend they don’t know about the Medicare cuts in their bill, don’t believe them.

There is no deal Thank you for your attention to this matter
