Everything f__ked up about our world in five simple words: "there’s money to be made." So long as hedge funds and prediction markets can profit off of famine, pestilence, suffering, and death, we'll keep having more... famine, pestilence, suffering, and death. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

We are so no ready for what lies ahead. #elnino

If you want to do something climate-friendly with your parking lot, don't cover it in solar panels, *get rid of the parking lot*.

#ShowYourStripes Day is an opportunity to take a global concept and make it both local and personal. I was born into a world that no longer exists, thanks to #globalwarming. But I'll do all I can to #ActonClimate to brings things closer to what those being born today deserve.

I'll never understand #climatedenial: how parents & grandparents of children born this century look at sons & daughters, granddaughters & grandsons, & choose to do nothing to protect & restore the wonderful world we've been blessed to live in. It isn't a distant or future concern; it's here & now.

When Americans rank #affordability & economic concerns above #climatechange, it shows we haven't effectively demonstrated the connection. Food, fuel, electricity, insurance, housing, mortgages -- all of these costs rise in a world destabilized by #globalwarming & #extremeweather.

Once again, #BigOil is using deep pockets to mislead Americans about the harms of #fossilfuels & to avoid accountability for causing the #climatecrisis. They're attacking #attributionscience the way OJ's lawyers challenged DNA evidence. Criminals gonna criminal. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Like many others, my community in Covington/Newton County, GA is wrestling with how to bring order to the chaos that is #AI #datacenters. Moratoria are only a stop gap. Rewriting ordinances is hard work, but also essential. I captured some of it here. www.sustainablenewton.org/blog/with-da...

#BigBanks are helping #BigOil burn down the only home we have by perpetuating their greed-driven #fossilfuel economy. It's time to choke off the funding by moving your money to the local & regional banks that keep your money invested where you live.

Trump's EPA is cooking the books -- & us. Scientists at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social call "Deploy Alternative Refrigerants" an "emergency brake" solution to reduce 2.5-2.7 gigatons of CO2-equivalent gases annually. Zeldin is protecting grocery chains profits, not you. New from @zhirji.bsky.social

An asteroid killed the dinosaurs, but it will be #psychopathy which extinguishes humanity on Earth. We've concentrated the world's wealth & power into the hands of a small number of very bad people with zero capacity to care about the implications of their acts. #datacenters are but one example.

Our current state in three sentences.

We should do all we can to mitigate the #climatecrisis by reducing climate pollution, but we're facing #extremeweather disasters well into the future from heating we've already baked into the climate. And that's making #resilience a critical priority for our #energygrid & other infrastructure.

"For a year now, the Chemical Safety Board, a small independent agency that investigates chemical spills and other disasters has faced elimination under President Trump’s budget cuts." Seems relevant. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/c...

Red states lead on #wind, #solar, & #geothermal, yet the GOP is doing all they can to deny Americans clean, affordable energy? Governors like Kristi Noem (95% #renewables in SD) & Doug Burgum (51% in ND) should know better. They do. They just hope you don't. environmentamerica.org/center/resou...

The problem with this kind of series -- which I have seen dozens of over the years -- is that the imperatives of journalism mean you have to find small, quirky human stories ("this community planted trees!) when the real "solution to climate change" is just to build a shitload of solar+batteries.

"Vindictive taint," indeed. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

Staggering numbers -- even to those of us following the climate crisis closely. No one should stay silent.

Just remember next time you gas up at the pump that it's not you who's hurting, it's #BigOil.

"I don't live in New Orleans, you say." But we face a future where migration isn't only from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern, but also an urgent, poorly-managed exodus across regions within our borders, fleeing inundation, heatwaves, drought, & floods to find livable places. We aren't ready.

Trump brags "We've ended the war on beautiful, clean coal." In Appalachia, public health officials tell a different story about coalminers suffering rising rates of #blacklungdisease. Not beautiful. Not clean. Not necessary. Just say #NoToCoal grist.org/health/in-co...

Wall Street in the 1980s: "Greed Is Good." In 2026: "War Is Even Better!" Trump's unnecessary #IranWar is irrational -- from the perspective of the American public. But, for #BigOil, to whom this administration is exclusively committed, the war is going swimmingly. 🤬 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just because people are drowning in the ocean does not justify pouring buckets of water on their heads.

Climate scientists expect a "Super" #ElNino to form later this year with extreme heat & weather impacts. But El Nino conditions don't create heat, they only move it around in the ocean. This one will be extreme because humans have heated our oceans to record levels with #greenhousegas emissions. 1/5

Arrogance of any sort is generally a poor basis for a strategy, and no one should strive to be a #petrostate in the Age of #electrification. We will indeed regret it. (Some of us already do.) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/o...

Took a video of this cool shell formation on my beach walk. If all of you repost it as many times as you can maybe some journalists will see it and do something about it

In the world of the #superrich, #empathyisasin because it is the ONLY thing that could possibly threaten them. But we've handed the keys to America over to men & women who are unreachable in that regard. And to whom we do not exist. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Not a popular stance to defend #taxation -- but never less so than during times of rampant #populism. Like these. Writing in @theatlantic.com, @annielowrey.bsky.social accurately describes the fiscal calamity populist Republicans & Democrats are driving America towards. It won't end well.

The #FossilFuel industry knew this was coming -- thus the push for oil, gas, & coal in #Project2025 & Trump #energypolicy. What they're betting on now is you not knowing this is happening... That we have a choice... That #renewables are cheaper, cleaner, & better for our economy & foreign policy.

"Taking the oil" isn't quite the power play you think it is. While the US wages wars over oil, acting every bit the #petrostate, here's what the world's largest #electrostate is up to. (Among other things, selling record levels of #solarpanels to US businesses!) A must-read from @ember-energy.org.

Falling prices & growth in #renewables & #batteries mean developing nations can avoid the #carbonintensive growth model of the US/EU. #fossilfuel interests see that, which is why they're so laser-focused on keeping the US tightly tethered to oil, gas, and coal. We're their past & also only future.

We breathe a sigh of relief for each electoral crisis we survive, but body blows are doing more damage than we realize -- because we are looking in the wrong place. The gravest injuries are not to our electoral process, but rather to our faith & trust in that process & each other. Vandalism, indeed.

South Georgia #wildfires are an important reminder that #extremeweather effects of #climatechange are compounding. Where Hurricane Helene flattened forests in 2024, #extremeheat and #drought parched the ground & baked those trees into kindling to fuel these fires more suited to CA than to GA.

The future is electric

Once the victims of the abuse realize they have more strength in numbers than the bullies, it's only a matter of time. A change in the balance of power is long overdue. #NoMoreFossilFuels

Proud to be among those challenging this action and to be quoted in the article. We can't accept such callousness as the norm.

There's never been a worse time to listen to a party telling you to "reject the evidence of your eyes and ears."

Not only really a thing. Once upon a time, opposing #warcrimes was an American thing. Good piece, @matthewjbell.bsky.social

I lived through all of these. Though the #oilsupply disruption in the #StraitofHormuz is familiar, this time everything is changed. We have an exit ramp from #energydependence & #cleanenergy solutions to free us. Excellent, hopeful piece from @markbeaudet.bsky.social mydamnac.com/2026/03/22/s...

When that certain someone tells you: "We were a dead and crippled country after the last administration and made it the hottest country anywhere in the world by far, with no inflation.’’ Show him this: money.com/federal-mini... #inflation #trumplies

By deliberate choice or unfortunate circumstance, we've left the fate of humanity in the hands of some seriously deluded, morally bankrupt, unjustifiably cocky individuals with the power and wealth to do us all in. #techbros are not our friends. www.desmog.com/2026/02/04/q...

With all of the practical benefits that come with shifting away from #fossilfuels to #renewables, I'll leave it to this pastor to strongly make the moral case for transition: "As a pastor, I don’t use the word “hell” lightly, but I think it’s time." sojo.net/articles/opi...

I'm not sure there will ever be a Trump Presidential Library, but there will someday be an impressive collection of his "Truths" at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

As someone working for transparency, accountability, & collaboration on data center projects in the community where I live, I appreciate what former Energy Secretary @secjengranholm.bsky.social says in this Op-Ed about Google's #datacenter project in Pine Island, MN. www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

I'm starting to think that polls showing Trump's unpopularity may not be fake news after all. 🤔

Here east of Atlanta, the message is clear. #NoKings #NoTyrants

The size of the crowd in even small towns like Conyers, GA and the visible, vocal support of passerby tells you America has had enough of this current administration. #NoKings #NoTryrants

Even the most coal-reliant economies have put that dirty, unhealthy, costly fossil fuel behind them. Except the US, where a carnival barker is hawking goods & wares of industries that bankrolled his return to power, forcing failing plants to remain open, & touting "clean coal." Our health be damned!

Every F-ing day, and the dominoes just keep falling faster and harder.
