Continuing to expand the fossil gas system in New York State is not only unsustainable, it's unaffordable, and it is driving rate increases across our state. It's time for the Assembly and Governor to pass NY HEAT and give New Yorkers a break.https://t.co/kBE51Vlrwt
Sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic (the red line) are nearing 5 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean. (h/t @leonsimons8)
As #Oppenheimer said, quoting from the Gita, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."
As Climate Clock Ticks, US Gov. Has Been Using Burning Trash to Look Green. Federal agencies have been padding their environmental stats with a strategy that’s too cheap, too carbon-heavy & too easy to make a difference. @reveal @willCIR @Jib821 https://t.co/GjqIQfEexo #noburn
We are living in the beginning of a crisis that will only get worse unless we act immediately,” @LizKrueger We are so far behind. We are literally in a race for our own lives and the planet’s life. Pass #NYHEAT

New York needs a fossil-free electricity grid! Use this one-click tool to email New York State agency heads in support of a just and resilient energy grid that meets the mandates of New York’s landmark climate law. https://t.co/aAFk3oLEKE
"New York needs the #NYHEAT Act, a bill that would make a significant dent in our climate pollution while also lowering New Yorkers’ energy bills."

In the face of NY's recent extreme weather events fueled by the climate crisis, @GovKathyHochul can save money and save lives by championing the #NYHEAT Act. Read my words in @timesunion here 👇https://t.co/iV6nuF3yXK
Today's @nytimes coverage of the #ClimateCrisis is on point. The three top stories are about the withering heat, and the Live feed pinned post notes that the planet will "continue to grow hotter until humans essentially stop burning oil, gas and coal, scientists say." Yes — this!
NEW STUDY confirms that inherently leaky, invisible-to-the-eye, natural gas is a stealth villain in the climate change story with powers of evil equal to sooty, lumpy coal. Fantastic summation of findings by @HirokoTabuchi. #BanFracking https://t.co/6tIK1Nc5D8
.@algore is right to be livid about the fossil fuel industry:
“They don’t disclose their emissions. They don’t have any phase-out plan. They’re not committed to a real net zero pathway. They’re greenwashing. They’re performing anti-climate plotting.”

Shameful that @GovKathyHochul is trying to weaken the climate law, and it’s gross that she’s having @BasilSeggos and @Doreen_M_Harris join her in shilling for the fossil fuel companies: https://t.co/FOAGBryWGn
.@GovKathyHochul, NY's nation-leading climate law and plan are the product of an open, democratic and transparent process guided by science. Please -- don't gut the CLCPA in an 11th hour back-room budget deal. Listen to the scientists and NYers and keep methane's GWP at 20 years!
LIVE: Press conference at the Capitol to defend NY's Climate Law. @GovKathyHochul, quit pushing this bad fossil-fueled bill TODAY.
Tune in now:

🗣️ End fossil fuel subsidies!
@CarlHeastie @GovKathyHochul we refuse to keep paying $200M/year to subsidize new planet-destroying gas infrastructure.
Pass #NYHEAT in the budget!
#ClimateJobsJustice
We’re in Albany today to save New York’s Climate Law from destruction. What we do in the next year - 2 yrs are critical. Methane is 80 x more impactful greenhouse gas than CO2 in a 20 yr window. Our eco & life systems are at risk of collapse. @GovKathyHochul don’t gas our future.
