Pretty wild -- If it was a nation, greenhouse gas emissions from the U.S. vehicles sector would be the fifth-largest source in the world www.nrdc.org/media/5-fact...

Honestly just get them to live in Delhi for like a week during peak Diwali and let's see if they still think pollution is great

Here's what EPA just put up on the endangerment finding repeal: www.epa.gov/newsreleases...

Wow I didn't realize how beneficial CO2 actually is. The Jack McDonough natural gas plant close by better make my kitchen garden grow beautifully.

I bet we can't any other country in this world where a senior government official would still say this.

@AmProg finds the U.S. can help accelerate a global decline in oil & gas demand by working with partners through trade, security, and development assistance–delivering lower gas prices, stronger energy security, and fewer climate risks for Americans. 🔗 www.americanprogress.org/article/decl...

"A clear message." Climate conference press event cancelled because of a climate-related flooding subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Whatever the EPA tries to do this week, understand that a) it will still be challenged in court (probably successfully - though it might take a while); b) EPA is not doing much in any case; and c) most of the action in the US is at the state and local level.

As John says, "Their victory is the planet's defeat"

2/9 PM UPDATE: Joining the list of AJC layoffs are: · Alia Pharr, a metro Atlanta local government reporter · Maya T. Prabhu, a statehouse reporter whose last day will be the end of the ongoing state legislative session Again: every single person laid off has been a woman and/or a person of color

I am begging national media critics to cover what's really happening in Atlanta. I know the AJC is an active sponsor of journalism conferences so there's some degree of conflict of interest, but the city is in a deep civic crisis. Trump wants to run America like how Atlanta is being run right now.

The Heritage Foundation's 250 year roadmap to take us back to the dark ages has a climate section. They have 4 main points: 1. "Human beings have never been safer from climate-related threats." Between 2011- 2024, 99.5% of congressional districts had at least 1 federally declared major disaster.

Stuff like this is critical but gets ignored in the affordability discussion --> The average cost of auto insurance premiums rose nearly 65% in the past five years, while repair costs climbed 44%, fueled by a shortage of technicians, according to data compiled by Cox.

NEW from me @rooseveltinstitute.org: The World Trade Organization Sides with China + Rules Against Biden’s Clean Energy Law: Will It Even Matter? Amidst the flooded zone of news in the last few weeks, this development slipped by virtually unnoticed. Thread 🧵👇 rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/the-wor...

Washington Post is letting go of real reporters to platform climate deniers like Lomborg who's also found in the Epstein files. Really sad state of affairs www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

How is it tax season again already

First, it was American Samoa; then my home, the Northern Mariana Islands; now the Trump administration is looking at Alaskan waters for deep sea mining. … another home to Indigenous peoples, fisheries and some of the world’s most fragile ecosystems. www.eenews.net/articles/fed...

Like the rest of the world, the EU is accelerating the shift away from gasoline vehicles to EVs. The US is being left behind.

Climate-fueled disasters like the LA wildfires and Hurricane Helene decimate infrastructure, that includes child care. So one woman did something about it. Silke Knebel started a crisis line to connect families with FREE child care, so parents can focus on recovery. 19thnews.org/2026/01/free...

It's pretty clear this year I'm not going to have patience for the folks at work who don't give a damn about fixing the current moment.

Who are my experts working on methane/methane mitigation in the O&G industry/advocacy around methane reduction/ the Global Methane Pledge or related? HMU I would like to talk!

Will the lettuce wilt first or will this speech end first

Trump hates wind turbines because almost two decades ago he found out that an offshore one was planned near a golf course he was building. That's it. But that kicked off a hatred that has lingered and been backfilled with other rationales. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

There are so many climate-related disasters that upend the lives of entire communities or regions while scarcely registering in the places most responsible for them. Starting a running thread of these increasingly-frequent events

The specific "Infrastructure week/industrial unions/Midwest" theme that animated Biden 2020 is dead and gone. Whatever comes next has to be different on that front.

🤯 81% of global #oil reserves now sit within the U.S. sphere of influence🇺🇲 . #Oil dependency has never been more vulnerable and risky. As #Trump meets #Venezuela opposition leader #Machado today, we at @350.org did the math on oil’s geopolitical risk: 350.org/press-releas...

I once tried to get a short fiction published where they blamed climate impacts on black magic. And i can see why it never got published -- it wasn't fiction was it

We are witnessing a fundamental shift: from a 20th-century rush for geopolitical control of fossil resources to a 21st-century geo-political scramble for expensive and stranded assets in a declining industry – providing far more theatre than production. backchannel1.substack.com/p/headline-v...

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Japan is likely to stay the course on fighting climate change despite the U.S.’s recent decision to exit from international climate organizations, experts say. 👉 ebx.sh/hi1N89

Whom amongst us doesn't yearn for the days of rivers catching fire and asthma from smog. This is a good decision

By me: US Invasion of Venezuela Violates International Climate Law Too: 'A historically high-emitting state is violating international law in order to undertake yet another internationally wrongful activity — harming the climate system.' drilled.media/news/Venezue...

Trump's vision for Venezuela's oil is a wager that the energy transition will not come. Latest here w/ @karlmathiesen.bsky.social www.politico.eu/article/vene...

Wind, solar, & batteries represent 95% of ALL of the new electricity capacity that came online in the U.S. last year. Electricity demand is skyrocketing because of AI and the government is restricting supply & making building renewables illegal to build in the U.S. Your energy bills are going up.

Bottom basement of hell

E&E has the scoop on this www.eenews.net/articles/sen...

US withdrawal from UN entities isn't just a US story. It has awful global implications -- www.standardmedia.co.ke/health/healt...

The age of fossil fuels is ending. The O&G industry is trying to delay that ending. Do not let them. They are not our friends. And they are certainly not good neighbors.

The UN withdrawal from UNFCCC, IPCCC and other UN entities is straight out of Project 2025. Are there any Republicans who have come out against this move?

A future US president will find it easy to re-enter the UNFCCC, suggests analysis by Jake Schmidt of NRDC www.nrdc.org/bio/jake-sch...

As with tariffs, and Broadway, Trump’s personal views on oil seem to have congealed sometime in the 1980s and are shellacked in place
