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. ➡️

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. 👏🌟💚

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.

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:

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.

Shifting from Putin’s gas to increased reliance on

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.

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.

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.

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.
