@governorwalz.mn.gov please bring your campaign trail rhetoric back to MN. Repeal the data center tax exemptions cost our state hundreds of millions while making big tech billionaires even richer.

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth Usually, when NOAA releases its annual report on CO2 levels, it publishes a web page with detailed analysis. Not this time. NOAA quietly put the data on social media without even mentioning the fact that CO2 levels jumped dramatically. www.cnn.com/2025/04/22/c...

“Hands Off” rally—a growing grassroots movement led by everyday people who are standing up to protect our rights and freedoms. Here in Minnesota, the turnout was incredible.

The Rights of Manoomin legislation, authored by Senator Mary Kunesh (SF 1247), is advancing in the Minnesota Legislature- bringing with it a sense of hope, healing, and justice. This bill recognizes wild rice, Minnesota’s state grain, as holding the right to exist, flourish, and be protected. #MN

April is #CitizenScienceMonth! We're partnering with NOAA-NCEI to celebrate this month dedicated to public participation in scientific discovery and research. FathomVerse utilizes ocean data and imagery managed by NCEI/NOAA to create a hands-on, accessible approach to everyday ocean exploration.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

There’s an important implication here that might not be readily apparent at a glance. Yes, there is far more satellite data than the number of radiosondes — but the *impact* of radiosondes vs all other data observation sources isn’t necessarily proportional to its number.

"The world has never truly undergone an energy transition... Instead, the world has experienced a series of energy additions, where new fuels build atop the old, rising like a skyscraper under construction for more than 200 years." media.rff.org/documents/RF...

Glaciers are nature’s water towers. They provide freshwater to ecosystems, feeding rivers, lakes, and groundwater supplies that sustain life. Melting glaciers disrupt weather patterns, making extreme weather events more severe. They also cause sea levels to rise. That's why glaciers matter.

Forests are HOME to 80% of all land-based species. They also clean our air, filter our water, and absorb massive amounts of carbon dioxide, helping to keep our planet livable. Protecting forests isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s about respecting life in all its forms. photo: ashley holmes

Spring is a season of transformation—trees bud, flowers bloom, and wildlife awakens from winter’s rest. It’s a reminder that no matter how long the cold lingers, growth and light always return. Happy Spring Everyone! photo credit: ashley holmes

What an incredible day at the Rise & Repair Rally + Lobby Day! It was inspiring to see so many Minnesotans come together, raising our voices in unity for the policies and legislation we believe in. A huge thank you to the organizers, the speakers, and to every participant-A Powerful Day of Action!

We need clean energy! Trump freezing and slashing billions in clean energy funding to prop up fossil fuel companies is a step backward! With the feds dropping the ball, states need to step up. We need to make it easier to get clean energy up and running! minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/11/c...

Holcim Industries has proposed a plan to dig a 200ft deep mine pit in Minnesota's Mississippi Riverbed to extract sand and gravel. The proposed project could harm wetlands and destroy habitat for threatened species, which raises concerns about whether adequate mitigation plans can be made. #protect

It’s not good for the planet if companies are publicly saying “we can’t talk about fighting climate change”

Locking in huge tax breaks until 2059 for the world’s richest companies- like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta- while risking local jobs, state revenue, and environmental health doesn’t benefit Minnesotans. Seriously?! #minnesota #datacenters #taxbreaks www.fox9.com/video/1600432

The question isn’t IF climate change is making extreme weather worse—it’s how much. Science can put a number on how many more homes flood, how much more rain a hurricane dumps, how much larger wildfires grow--and how much worse it will get if we don't act now. More by @frediotto.bsky.social & I:

Billions wasted on LNG Europe’s LNG imports are falling but governments continue throwing cash at new terminals — destined to become stranded assets fuelling the climate crisis 🤯 Why not throw money at this instead: ☑️ Preventing fossil fuel lock-ins ☑️ Energy security that's clean, fair & efficient

Carbon capture is nonsense : deployment of technologies that pull carbon dioxide would be much more expensive and damaging than a switch to renewable sources – taking energy costs, emissions, and health impacts into account. sustainability.stanford.edu/news/opportu...

Everyone needs to understand this. Carbon capture is not going to save us. Solar panels, heat pumps and EVs are tactics every family can employ TODAY -- and you'll help save the biosphere and money.

As we celebrate World Whale Day, it's clear that change is possible. The shift away from whaling took time, but it proves that with the right mix of public pressure, innovation, and policy, industries that harm the environment can be left behind. www.thegreatprojects.com/blog/world-w...

Headline in the Cannon study is that 12 consecutive months above 1.5C occurs after climatological exceedence 75% of the time in CMIP. But we want to know the probability that we've crossed given we've seen this event, and I'm not convinced that's the same number. /1 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It's hard to believe that humanity is at a place where a headline like this, to our peril, is merely met with a yawn... Earth is now retaining profuse excess heat - the equiavlent of a million nuclear bombs per day - in our climate system. Today’s Berardelli Bonus H/T to @LeonSimons8 Linear trend

👀 DOJ acknowledges making two significant errors during a court hearing last week on efforts to dismantle USAID 1) It said only 500 employees had been placed on leave. Actual number was 2,140. 2) Said only future contracts were stopped. Existing contracts were also stopped.

It's wild how many Americans still vaguely think of China as the place where low-wage labor cranks out low-value ticky-tacky products. That was true, I dunno, 20 years ago, but these days China is kicking our ass specifically on sophisticated high-tech engineering. We oughta be embarrassed.

Trump is shutting down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which helps protect consumers from fraud. This was started by @warren.senate.gov to protect consumers. Call your representatives and demand they stop Trump #ProudBlue meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

I like the way the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative gets into the details of what's being stripped away. Their blog promises more to come this week. Unfortunately.

“China is extending its lead in the energy transition,” with solar up 45%, wind up 18%, and solar panel exports up 34% in 2024, Danny Kennedy writes. See Kennedy on the dramatic acceleration of #cleanenergy in #Asia. @barclay2.bsky.social @blairpalese.bsky.social @climateandcap.bsky.social

You can ignore climate change. The political system can ignore climate change. But the insurance industry cannot ignore climate change.

Today, a federal judge in Rhode Island ruled that the Trump administration violated his order halting a sweeping federal funding freeze. U.S. District Judge John J. McConnell is now ordering the government to “immediately restore frozen funding.” Judge McConnell handed down the order…

NEW: Trump is freezing money for clean energy — batteries, EVs, renewables, heat pumps, and more. Nearly 80% of manufacturing investments spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act have flowed to Republican congressional districts. w/ Lisa Friedman & @bradplumer.bsky.social 👇 Gift link in reply
