In a massive step backwards, the Trump administration repealed the Public Lands Rule, putting short-term profits ahead of rural communities, wildlife, and clean drinking water instead of protecting and restoring public lands for future generations. https://t.co/4GNXeHjhlc
Wed 5/27, 12PM come to SF Civic Center! CARB wants to cut affordable transit-oriented housing, major public transit projects and services, and discount programs statewide by up to $2B/year for 4 years — to give out billions in permissions to pollute. https://t.co/HYdaosIJC7
One of the cuts is to the SF Environment Dept. SFE's climate work depends on grants, and the cuts will make it unable to get the grant proposals written. The City will lose money this way.
"Local policies to get buildings off gas keep winning in court….Federal courts are upholding building decarbonization policies. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was the first (and so far only) court to strike down local restraints on gas."

NEW: Falling fossil everywhere:
For the first time in 2025, fossil electricity generation fell in EVERY OECD country, compared to its peak.
Solar and wind are helping the power sector to transition away from fossil fuels #TAFF
Europe is warming >2x as fast as the global average, reducing snow & ice cover. High air temperatures, drought, heatwaves & record ocean temperatures affect regions from the Arctic to the Mediterranean.
European State of Climate #ESOTC2025 out now. ➡️https://t.co/ZpuYXBirKi
We cannot stabilise food prices without getting fossil fuels out of food systems.
Stark warning from @FT on the coming food crisis.
"We need to loosen the grip of hydrocarbons on our food system… More sustainable farming is both possible & necessary"

#EarthDay is a reminder of the fragility of our world.
But we know what must be done:
End our addiction to fossil fuels.
Accelerate the renewables revolution.
Protect & restore nature.
Deliver climate justice for the most vulnerable.
Let’s #ActNow – for people & planet.
Global,warming’s latest victim - the sea breezes that make life bearable in many coastal cities, says this authoritative study.

44% of evening peak met by batteries. In California, world’s 4th largest economy. Not some tiny pilot project or a niche experiment, a global industrial powerhouse
If you’re still sitting in boardrooms or parliament banging on about baseload and the intermittency of renewables, you’re not just wrong, you’re a dinosaur
California's 44% isn't an anomaly. It's a preview of the 2027-2030 reality for every major grid overbuilding renewables
The "technical barriers" the fossil fuel lobby loves to cry about are gone. We are shifting solar and wind into the night at a massive, industrial scale. We don't need expensive, inflexible coal or gas to keep the lights on; we need more storage and we need it now - everywhere

@DanielLurie, prioritize clean air and water for San Franciscans. Keep San Francisco a leader against pollution and climate change by implementing the Climate Action Plan. Fund @SFEnvironment !
Mayor @DanielLurie's most recent 2-year budget could set SF moving backward in its fight to mitigate climate change. Hundreds of climate & union activists joined us in a rally 2/25 to fund implementation of the Climate Action Plan via @SFEnvironment dept.

President Trump's exemptions of some of the most polluting facilities in the U.S. from standards that limit neurotoxic and cancer-causing pollution is a direct attack on the air we breathe and the health of American communities.
Temperatures could breach 40C - in March 😮
It's going to be one hell of a year - with the chances of a super-El Nino before the year's end increasing

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.
The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite.
The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.
Revoking the Endangerment Finding doesn't just fly in the face of decades of climate science – it's directly threatening our chance at building a livable future.
The Trump Administration’s move to revoke the Endangerment Finding removes the EPA’s ability to limit carbon pollution from cars and trucks—the biggest source of U.S. climate emissions—putting lives, money, and our climate at risk.
