"My beat is focused on wildlife and the outdoors. And in this world of fierce contention, over seemingly everything, it sounds downright peachy... However, there is also plenty of strife, messy politics and difficult decisions." From @lilaseidman.bsky.social: www.latimes.com/environment/...

Scientists criticize ‘straw man’ arguments in Bill Gates climate memo www.theguardian.com/environment/... via @dharna.bsky.social

Bill Gates doubled down at Caltech on Monday. Seems to think climate scientists and activists care more about abstract measurements than about human suffering, which makes me wonder how many climate scientists and activists he knows. www.latimes.com/environment/...

In a year that was so political, the predictable happened. L.A. was screaming for help in 2025 after devastating fires and violent immigration raids. But the Dodgers kept doing business with Big Oil and wouldn't stand up for Latino communities: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/dodgers-wi...

"Of course multibillion-dollar sports teams, with their enormous cultural and economic sway, are political enterprises. In 2025, the Dodgers put an exclamation point on that fundamental truth." -- @sammyroth.bsky.social www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/dodgers-wi...

Wait, Gavin Newsom's new CARB chair says the board will "rethink" the state's 2305 mandate to end sales of gas-only vehicles? As in, Newsom's crowning climate achievement and the biggest thing CA has done on climate in years? This was reported a week ago and has gotten very little attention?

This is right, of course. The Dodgers need to bring back Kiké, Miggy and Muncy. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...

Some editor with energy expertise really needed to review the story and tell the reporter that renewables are also killing coal on cost. And also that plenty of government policies support natural gas.

Interesting @nytimes.com story on tensions over coal within the Navajo Nation, but I have to do some media criticism on this framing of renewables vs. gas. Gas is "cheaper" than coal, whereas renewables — excuse me, "greener" forms of energy — are a product of Biden? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/b...

This is accurate. Anyone who says it was just money did not actually watch the Dodgers. www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...
