One the first set climate research centers, labs & groups joined Bluesky, the next group came fast: so I needed a Part 2. Here's the 2nd list of official organizations who made the move to bluer skies. Choose a few to follow or click the whole list! Day 7 of my 20 Days of Climate Starter Packs.

Lauren said it best: we're getting coal for Christmas. This is just so incredibly stupid. There's not even coal supply or demand. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Unfortunately, hiding your head in the sand will not make climate change go away www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/c...

Something to be thankful for! Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible. But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

Gas car sales have fallen 30% from their peak in 2017 as EV's have exploded in popularity around the world Only one direction for cars and that's cheaper, cleaner and better Cold as ICE 😎

Solar and wind are covering ALL new power demand worldwide in the first three quarters of 2025 electrek.co/2025/11/13/s... #upshift 🔌💡

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

Trump administration policies are hammering western state economies #utpol www.hcn.org/issues/weste...

It's so over for Tesla in China. The Xiaomi YU7, a Model Y rival, not only outsold Tesla's Model Y in October, but it outsold Tesla's *total* October sales of 26,006 vehicles by 29%. 💀☠️

Yet another record breaking storm supersized by a warming world 😢 Climate change doesn’t create these storms: it makes them worse. They intensify faster, reach higher strengths and dump more rain. That’s why climate action isn’t just about saving the planet: it’s quite literally about saving US.

Headline: ExxonMobil doesn't care about people and the climate because oil is simply too profitable.

"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."

Not sure if these are the Page One headlines WH was going for. @wsj.com

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Hundreds of people packed the Hillsboro City Council auditorium to decry the escalation in immigration enforcement in the community, following weeks of reports of federal agents in unmarked vehicles detaining residents and dragging people out of cars. www.oregonlive.com/washingtonco...

As I am one of the climate scientists he is referring to here - and I am a scientist who decided to dedicate her life to working on climate precisely because of how unjustly it disproportionately impacts the poor and vulnerable - let me clarify my rationale and thoughts below. 🧵

"It's the classic way that military coups happen. They say, 'these revolutionaries are about to take over the government, so *we* had to take over the government!'" @gtconway.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social in the latest episode of Sarah Longwell Explains It All:

New study in Nature by Lin et al shows how the sea-level rise from the melting Ice Age ice (a total of 120 meters rise) ended thousands of years ago. Until our fossil fuel use started a new phase of rising seas. Graph shows the global mean rate of sea level rise. 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars: 1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

"'It’s killing the business,' the manager said. The manager noted that Home Depot is emphasizing “free delivery for contractors so they don’t have to risk themselves”—a sign of how the company has had to adjust."

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Great coverage from @emorwee.bsky.social of the first entire unit to be let go at CBS News under new management: the climate team 🙃 heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

Good news from @solarindustry.bsky.social: seia.org/news/domesti...

Solar and storage have made up 82% of new energy capacity so far this year. Without it, America will lose the AI race.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

🔥Hot take: I agree with Trump that we should get rid of the filibuster. It's anti-democratic. Right now Dems are preventing Rs from owning the full chaos they're supporting. Let the public feel the consequences of R policies. Short term pain, long term necessity. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

“A republic, if you can keep it.” --Benjamin Franklin (not promising that 69% of Utahns aren't paying attention to the redistricting process that affects how representative our government is) www.deseret.com/politics/202...

Under strong pressure from Trump to do so, US auto makers are ceding the EV market to China. www.ft.com/content/bc4e...

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

Jowei Chen, a @umich.edu professor (and a plaintiffs’ expert witness), said #utleg’s preferred map favored Republicans and “cracked” areas with Democratic voters.

Reminds me of "infrastructure week" in the distant past

Also as I understand it the Reagan ad was run by Ontario Province, not by Canada’s federal government or privy council or whatever. Imagine if countries cut off trade with us because of shit Alabama or Vermont did.

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney nails it.

“.. It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic ..” @pbsnews.org www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s. This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice! The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.
