There is no accountability on a dead democracy.

If we made the fossil fuel industry pay its true societal costs they’d go out of business.

Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action. “It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

The US conservative movement has organized & funded a massive anti-wind power campaign, based on lies & bullying. Researchers at Brown University have been investigating & revealing that campaign. Now cons are pressuring the university to shut the investigators down.

Little update on Facebook's decision to shut my account.

She was right! Heat pumps are important, democracy is under threat, and ThirdAct is brilliant.

🚨NEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

Hat tip to Marisa. Of late, it has been possible to see breaking news on BlueSky, but this feels like the first time a really big national story broke on BlueSky.

I never tire of reading about Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and then wanting to do sketches of her. Inspired by Eve Samples, of Friends of the Everglades, quoting MSD in this piece: www.sun-sentinel.com/2024/12/19/i...

The illusory truth that is ‘they don’t work in the cold,’ needs some undoing!

Absolutely NOBODY gets special treatment from the #WorldBollardAssociation

I'm biased but this is a very fun read. Moreso if you like dorky electric puns. I have never written the word moreso before. It's fun.

Hey @blueskystarterpack.com please add: go.bsky.app/8WxZSNU

not me performing curses on the lovely friend who gifted my son a recorder last year.

Maddening beyond belief. Great reportage from Emily Atkin/Heated. heated.world/p/dc-news-st...

Check out our first @rewiringamerica.bsky.social ep of This Electric House! Mini electric house tours with smart and fun humans.

Yes, yes y’all. I like the push from Dr. V too, but we have to get away from the needless binaries. Systems change AND individual action. Peanut butter AND chocolate. All of the above, but not the baddie version.

The clean energy industry is learning ot "speak Republican" in order to save the IRA, and it's a gold rush for Republican lobbyists who know about energy heatmap.news/politics/how...

“Compared to self-driving cars, and just about any other mobility mode, e-bikes have flourished…If 2023’s trendline continues, the humble e-bike, not the flashy self-driving car, will be poised to reconfigure American transportation.” — @davidzipper.bsky.social www.fastcompany.com/90994141/why...

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Mildly pedantic aphorist: It should be the glass.

Bonkers is my go to. But it's too light a word for this murderous cretin behaviour.

Extremely belated and constructivist thannnkk yooouuuu!

We also got to lie around, stare at the sky, and talk about stuff because there was nothing else to do.

@rewiringamerica.bsky.social was stoked to sponsor this awesome series. You should read it because I used the word stoked so you know it's awesome.

Bluesky transformation is official. Fave account of all time makes the leap.

Just going to visualize my blueskies. (still not sure what they're called. posts? will not call them skeets, as requested).

Ford and Sarkaria's anti-bike lane Bill 212 will go into it's final reading on Thurs. Nov. 21. We intend to send them a strong message that day. Save the date. Stay tuned. @ffsafestreets.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social ARC #youneverridealone by @tomflood.bsky.social

Batteries prices continue to fall. A more than 90% drop over the past 15 years. Innovation and learning curves keep driving battery prices down.

This is so well done. The motion in the bar charts, everything. Also, renewables have a chance of S-curving. Everything else needs all our energy if we're to come anywhere close to the pace of progress required. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Plenty of good #Climate and Climate adjacent #StarterPacks but how about a good 🧵that makes them all super easy to find and follow? I'm glad I asked. Here you go! #ClimateChange #Renewables #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Advocacy #Activism bsky.app/starter-pack...

Hello! Are the skies blue here? That's a respite. I'm Sarah Lazarovic, I do climate communications, art, jumpsuits, cookies, generally in that order. I write the climate newsletter, Minimum Viable Planet, and make charts and doodles like so. Tell me who to follow and what to do to be blue...sky.

Still thinking about this story from Debra Hendrickson's newish book "The Air They Breathe," where a teenager, distraught over climate change, told Hendrickson that she didn't want to bring it up the issue with her mom because she didn't want to upset her mom. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
