Congratulations to @timmonsroberts.bsky.social and colleagues for this wonderful book and for ensuring everyone can read it for free. Everyone has the right to know how fuel fuel CEOs, lobbyists, and spin doctors have deceived us and gambled with our lives and all life on earth out of sheer greed.

"A 2014 law..blocked over 3.3 GW of utility-scale [wind] projects... "Gov. Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 52, which lets counties ban new solar projects [but] doesn’t let counties ban power plants that use fossil fuels or nuclear power. Why oh why, Ohio? www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

This site is easy to use and provides some clear info on the main banks and lots of small ones. Now we need some leaders among that sector. Time to move my accounts... bank.green/banks/citize...

The EU's draft livestock plans consider creative accounting that would close their eyes to the catastrophic amounts of pollution coming from animal farming Accounting tricks do nothing to tackle climate breakdown that is now baking Europe in heatwaves, or the pollution killing our rivers and lakes

I love this article. This land needs courageous leadership on climate, and CARI is doing it, one hearing at a time.

@academic.oup.com's 500th #openaccess book! “Open access allowed us to publicize our two assessment volumes on obstruction of climate action broadly and quickly, and to make it available all over the world at once," @timmonsroberts.bsky.social, editor. corp.oup.com/news/publish...

This. Agree with this. Thank you Signal leaders. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Big Oil gets hundreds of billions per year in "pollute-for-free subsidies," says @whitehouse.senate.gov. Now the fossil fuel industry is asking for an even bigger handout: "to operate outside the civil law, free of consequences."

Nice points Scott. "Compared to most of our New England neighbors, our state has also under invested in our bike and pedestrian network. This has negative implications for our collective public health, tourism marketability, and talent recruitment/retention." www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/12/m...

Ceremony today dedicating statue of Ellison "Tarzan" Brown outside the Westerly train station. Brown, a Narragansett Indian from R.I., won the 1936 and 1939 Boston Marathons.

This is actually quite informative on heat and performance/risk. And nearly all #WorldCup matches "face the risk of climate-amplified heat" We gotta solve this problem. Aint gonna be easy.

"federal agencies will now have to proceed with permitting wind projects using the existing statutory and regulatory framework.. each developer will be able to make the case for permitting their individual project based on the facts and the law,” Could be very big heatmap.news/sparks/trump...

Anyone who cares about a changing climate needs to plough their way through this to see the machinations of US fossil fuel businessmen to keep their mines etc in operation and keep taking in the cash.

If local anti-offshore wind groups wonder who they have gotten into bed with, here he is. In our research, he's at the center of anti-wind network Plus, "SPN’s approach to energy policy contradicts its claim to promote policies based on free market principles" energyandpolicy.org/man-who-kill...

"an important next step toward campus decarbonization and energy resiliency: As we move toward our pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, Brown will take a major step forward by creating a modern, sustainable thermal energy system." Kudos Brown today.brown.edu/announcement...

One more step. We need a judge to give SouthCoast Wind back the federal permit they were awarded 18 months ago. ecori.org/southcoast-w...

Holy cow what a story 👀 👀 👀 NYCC also worked to pass this bill that Heastie killed. It would lower costs, reduce pollution and get trash off our streets. 👇👇👇

"The conservative offensive includes at least nine open records requests sent to public universities where some panel members work...submitted by Argus Insight, an opposition research firm founded in 2023 by White House aides from Trump’s first term and a former Axios reporter [Lachlan Markay]."

Went to a house party last night with David Morales, the 27 year old mayoral candidate here in Providence RI. The crowd was old, white. Housing was a big topic, and Morales was impressive. But he covered many topics w/fresh ideas. @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

Cutting energy efficiency to save money is like going to Starbucks every day to avoid buying a new coffee maker.

Can’t express what a big outcome this is—Rhode Island keeps its climate and clean energy targets. This was a bad faith panicked effort to gut our decades of efforts on this issue. The transition is needed, those who do it will benefit. www.canarymedia.com/articles/ene...

How do you control unruly academics? Through their trustees, of course. This right-wing group has a national network to push their agendas on universities across the USA. @aaup.org www.aaup.org/sites/defaul...

Tonight the SouthCoast Wind project is coming before the #RhodeIsland Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC) for its permit. The 2 big #offshorewind projects we've built/are building in #NewEngland = good but not enough for winter demand. We need SC wind. /1 www.crmc.ri.gov/newsandevent...

An important lawsuit. We cannot normalize the federal government paying off private corporations with taxpayer money to alter their business plans because the president's donors don't want competition: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/c...

Yet more shenanigans from our profit and power hungry utility. Excellent work by @theclf.bsky.social @geconsumers.bsky.social and @acadiacenter.bsky.social How environmental advocates stopped a late-session push to let RI Energy own power plants rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/06/08/h...

I’m pleased to be among the experts quoted in this damning article from @tjjordan.bsky.social and @joeygrostern.bsky.social at @desmog.com exposing how elite news media have been complicit in promoting policies that undermine international climate goals. #ClimateSky #CommSky

It gets worse…not only do elite news outlets amplify these messages, but they also CREATE the messages on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, an issue I cover in my open-access book, #ContentConfusion, and in this recent journal article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #ClimateSky #CommSky

Like taking the batteries out of a smoke alarm that keeps sounding.

Amen, Rep Tanzi @tanzister.bsky.social , thank you for reminding. And thank you Representative Evan P. Shanley, “It is an investment in the community that, in some measure, fosters the conditions for your business and your family to grow.” And thank you Speaker Blazejewski. @chrisblazejewski.com

Easy to miss this in all the other bad news for climate and science this week. Can't even report on GHGs in the US, let alone regulate them apparently. apnews.com/article/sec-...

“The governors are putting their fingers in the air and using terms like ‘all of the above’ all the time” @larrychretien.bsky.social “Our political leaders, in Massachusetts and elsewhere in New England, just seemed really ready to cave" @nathanpboston.bsky.social www.eenews.net/articles/rea...

The idea that only nuclear or gas can provide "firm power" -- the last line of defense against the relentless advance of clean energy -- is going the way of the dodo. There are no arguments left. The only reason to fight progress now is corruption & raw political power.

Even if the Trumpsters dumpster their cop-beater slush fund, that’s not the end of this saga.

Finally! ca.news.yahoo.com/york-sues-ov...

Nice job there FitzProv! It’s a huge deal that this attack by the McKee administration has been apparently defeated. NY and MA are in the same battle—a team in my lab just started a study of these attempted rollback efforts www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/02/m...
