Data centers already have far too much control over our bills, climate and lives. We can't allow the passage of the dishonestly-named Ratepayer Protection Act, or other laws that would fast-track data center infrastructure. Tell your Reps to oppose this set of bills: https://fwwat.ch/4oMj2de

Today was the hottest day ever on record in France (nation avg). Parts of Paris hit 108°F, other cities hit 112! All-time France records total 214 this week! And the UK had its hottest June day ever at 97°. Few have Air Conditioning! #europe #heatwave (image via infoclimat)

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

While many localities are rushing to bring in data centers, they are failing to update policies that limit or manage how much water these facilities can consume during a water crisis like the one Virginia is facing right now. virginiamercury.com/2026/06/22/a...

France will be at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet over the next few days. The sheer extent of the country that could experience temperatures above 40°C is nothing short of astonishing.

“We are being told that AI-Data Centers are inevitable – that communities must sacrifice their water, land, and health, and their economic future for Big Tech’s greed. But the spread of local moratoriums nationwide proves otherwise." ~Rania Masri www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/06/11/5...

Breaking: El Niño begins! NOAA has officially declared the start of El Niño today. After months of anticipation, the criteria has been met with East Pacific Ocean Temps rising at a record pace. The models have been consistently advertising a “historic” event, very possibly the strongest on record.

My bill allowing people to use plug-in solar (“balcony solar”) just passed a key Assembly committee. Plug-in solar is a low cost device that generates a limited amount of solar energy to power your home, reduce the amount of electricity you draw from the grid & thus lower your bill. 🧵

BREAKING! The 17th #BankingOnClimateChaos report reveals that fossil fuel financing from the world’s top 65 banks has reached $8.7 TRILLION over the last decade. Instead of investing in a livable future, big banks are driving pollution & climate devastation. Learn more: bankingonclimatechaos.org

In 2025, just 12 banks provided almost 40% of ALL fossil fuel funding from banks worldwide. That’s right, a dozen dirty banks are responsible for well over a third of the $906 billion poured into fossil fuels last year. See where your bank falls: bankingonclimatechaos.org #BankingOnClimateChaos

Banks poured $906bn into fossil fuels last year. Either way it's a bad bet. If we don't decarbonise, the physical damage wrecks the economy they're betting on. If we do, those assets strand and they eat the transition risk. Heads you lose, tails you lose. Don't trust them with your money.

We're suing to prevent oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. ​ The Trump admin tried to lease 700K acres of the Refuge, but only one small company and a state sponsored corporation bid on 70K acres. Every major oil company stayed away from this risky and unpopular project.
