This goes without saying: if you are an H-1B visa holder that works in the environmental health fields or are in the process of applying to one, I'd love to interview you more about how you're feeling and what paths you'll take moving forward. My Signal is @alexip.718, we can grant anonymity.

Meanwhile, coal miners are scheduled to protest in front of the Department of Labor later this month because Trump had delayed enforcement of protections against silica dust, a significant factor in the rise in black lung disease

The Department of Energy has added these terms to its growing “list of words to avoid” because words are dangerous: climate change green decarbonization emissions energy transition sustainability sustainable clean energy dirty energy carbon footprint CO₂ footprint tax breaks tax credits subsidies

Great perspective by @katearonoff.bsky.social putting @sei.org's #ProductionGap report into context of our global energy landscape.

lol

The world’s top fossil fuel countries still plan to produce more than twice as much coal, gas and oil as would be consistent with climate goals. In fact, they’re planning even more than they were two years ago.

Contrary to popular belief, organic food is often worse for the environment than non-organic alternatives, and is not a viable strategy for fighting climate change.

This is so crucial. When people think about these land comparisons, they don't think about the entire sprawling infrastructure behind FF.

Governments pledged at COP28 in 2023 to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems and achieve net zero by mid-century. How are we doing? Find out Sept. 22! 👇 #ProductionGap

Despite Trump's Brags, New Data Shows Massive Emissions From #Texas Wells @psskow.bsky.social reports for @insideclimatenews.org Mark Olalde reports for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/texa...

The United States has told countries to reject a United Nations' marine fuel emissions-cutting deal or face tariffs, visa restrictions and port levies, U.S. and European officials and sources told Reuters.

Methane is a greenhouse gas that is much more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2) but has a shorter lifetime in the atmosphere. How we treat the climate impacts of methane matters a lot for the carbon footprint of foods. But even if we exclude methane, meat and dairy products still emit the most.

Spain is having its largest wildfire year in well over a decade

In Norway "[t]here is this narrative that Norway is [extracting oil & gas] for the rest of Europe" @elinlb.bsky.social www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/norways-elec... It is is fun to point to the contradictions in Norway (I do), but remember that you are happily buying the oil & gas from Norway. 1/

REMINDER: Fox News got an *unredacted version* of this 27-page NOAA report from the Interior Department back in April. When Politico/E&E News reporters FOIA'd the report, the Interior Department redacted every sentence. (Here's the Fox News article from April summarizing the report's contents👇)

UPDATE: 🌊 My colleagues at E&E News used FOIA to obtain a copy of that elusive NOAA report I wrote about. The one Trump used to pause construction of a New York offshore wind farm and bleed the wind company of almost $1B. 😱 All 27-pages they obtained were blacked out.
