Fossil fuels are the source of more than 90% of deadly climate heating emissions. So when 1600+ fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber the delegations of every country that has traveled to COP30, it’s time to kick big polluters out. ➡️ kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick...

The incomparable @ajeansu.bsky.social breaking down why data centers are the devastating love child of big tech and the fossil fuel industry and why COP30 must tackle the climate impacts of AI. Check out our latest report: biologicaldiversity.org/programs/cli...

When the fossil fuel lobby is bigger than any country’s delegation except the host at COP30, it’s no wonder that ten years after the Paris Agreement the 1.5 temperature limit is in jeopardy. Today’s powerful panel is again calling to Kick Big Polluters Out. 👏🌟💚 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I have written many healthcare stories, but never before have I written about my own health. I decided to do so after learning one of my drugs costs nearly $1,000 a pill and just 25 cents to make. What I found was an incredible story of discovery and exploitation. www.propublica.org/article/revl...

For the last 20 years, Big Oil & Gas spent nearly $1 BILLION on lobbying FOR carbon capture. Their payoff is massive tax credits and subsidies. Carbon capture was never about saving the climate -- it was always about protecting fossil fuel profits. NEW REPORT: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Anecdotal, but I’m hearing a lot about CA lawmakers being “Abundance-pilled” and proposing/backing bills that will rip the heart out of enviro review for almost ALL big projects (not just housing) and exempt/fast track permitting elsewhere. All over EJ, scientist, etc concerns. I hate this.

The route to energy independence, security, affordability, and a liveable planet is a fair & full fossil fuel phaseout. The EU has saved billions by cutting gas imports through renewables & energy efficiency. It must stay on track {3/4} @oilchange.bsky.social reactive: oilchange.org/news/oil-cha...

Shifting from Putin’s gas to increased reliance on #TrumpGas or any other gas is not the way. This risks repeating the costly mistake of not only exposing EU citizens to volatile gas prices, but also fuelling climate disasters & human rights violations. {2/4}

The EU just released its long awaited 🗺️ Roadmap to phase out reliance on Russian gas: ec.europa.eu/commission/p.... While the EU’s move to stop feeding Russia’s war machinery against Ukraine by ending #fossilfuel imports is long overdue, it should not just shift its reliance to other sources. {1/4}

“Subsidizing carbon capture and utilization undermines our ability to hold Big Oil accountable for the climate crisis." - @khanna.house.gov, who is sponsoring a bipartisan bill to end the wasteful 45Q carbon capture tax break!

🙌 TY Sen. Menjivar & Assemblymember Addis (@dawnaddis.bsky.social) for fighting for Californians and demanding that fossil fuel companies pay for their climate damages. #MakePollutersPay Join to help pass the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act (#SB684 / #AB1243): actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

We are honored to endorse climate champ Paloma Aguirre for San Diego's First Supervisorial District. If elected to the SD Board of Supervisors, we know she will fight to protect San Diego's communities, wildlife, and climate.

Big Oil is using a record-setting $38M of their massive profits to lobby in Sacramento because they don't want to pay for all of the damage they've caused -- starting with the recent L.A. fires. Don't let fossil fuel companies rig the system. #MakePollutersPay lastchancealliance.org/big-oil-smas...

Note that "unleashing American energy" doesn't include wind, which he has now banned (or attempted to, we'll see how that holds up in court). The "free market" at work, folks.

To be fair, this is the same as last time around (see: www.voanews.com/a/trump-laun...) and yet Biden, the supposed climate president, increased exports far beyond Trump 🙃

In case there's any remaining doubt that fossil CEOs + rightwing think tanks are writing Trump's energy policy, here's the Project 2025 chapter on energy, (fracking giant) EQT's report on "Unleashing American LNG" and one of Trump's EOs from yesterday.

Big Oil & Gas has rigged the system. But there are ways we can stop polluters from shifting costs onto us: 🛢️end subsidies & tax breaks for oil and gas companies 💰 ensure adequate bonding ⚖️ reform bankruptcy laws 📝 pass #PolluterPays climate superfund legislation www.propublica.org/article/oil-...

My grandmother would always say: Red at night, sailors delight. Red in the morning, sailors warning. Here’s hoping this spectacular, fiery New Year’s Eve sunset bodes very well for navigating the turbulent seas of 2025. 🌅🌟❤️

The TLDR is: Biden still has MANY opportunities to steer the world off the path towards climate catastrophe. What he does in these final months will determine whether he’ll be remembered as a climate president or one who failed to meet the moment when it mattered most.

The boom in American liquified natural gas threatens to push us towards climate chaos. Biden must deny permits for pending LNG carbon bombs like Calcasieu Pass 2, and his Department of Energy must find that no new LNG exports are in the public interest.

In his final months in office, President Biden has crucial opportunities to secure his climate legacy and prevent Trump from eroding hard-won climate progress. www.oilchange.org/blogs/bidens... Here’s what we need to see from him over the next 60 days:

"As a lawyer who was part of the record onslaught of lawsuits against Trump during his first term, I think it’s important to note that 90 percent of our lawsuits were successful. They acted as a crucial bulwark against Trump’s attacks on our #climate, health, and safety." ~Jean Su, CBD Director

Good solstice wishes to all 🌟
