@RossSchumann @agent1220 @chiproytx Oh weird I thought Republicans wanted less government meddling

UNSG speaks truth to power at #UNGA
"Majority of young people suffer high levels of [#ClimateAnxiety] due to the state of our planet. 60% of your future voters feel betrayed by their Govs" #WeFeelThisToo

Thanks @antonioguterres! Now will politicians act on the #ClimateEmergency?

@FareedZakaria We need Tax and Dividend and EVERY OTHER lever we can pull! We need strong regulation, direct air capture... basically we need a Green New Deal - but Tax and Dividend can be implemented quickly by executive order while we get to these other additive solutions

@andre_ca_s3 @CCL_Naperville @FareedZakaria "more polluters = more free money" is a less direct connection than "the price of X is > the price of Y" which is all people will think about. CCL is right, the carbon tax will have to go up and up, potentially to hundreds of $ per ton of CO2 to make people buy green

Washington is pondering a mix of corporate taxes & new spending on green infrastructure, in the hopes of averting a climate disaster.

But if we want to limit carbon emissions, should we just tax them directly?

Today's last look:

Welcome to the @OECD Secretary, @MathiasCormann! Will you stick to your commitment & rally the world behind ambitious climate action to keep us safe? FIRST TEST: Support @IEA’s & @fbirol’s #NZ2050 to keep us below 1.5ºC. Prove your critics wrong. Don't sink Paris #fixtheWEO

[Sudan Newsroom @sudan_newsroom]

International Energy Agency director @Fbirol talks a good game but @IEA's flagship report misguides governments, underplays clean energy, & scores goals for the fossil fuel industry. Here's our @FT ad calling on him to put 1.5C at the heart of #WEO2021

Please write a letter to your congressperson in support of vaccinations for all instead of supporting corporate greed! Corporations must allow developing nations to produce the vaccine themselves so we can ramp up ASAP! https://t.co/MOZqaeoHxz

@POTUS Texas is on the forefront of the climate crisis. You promised us you would build infrastructure with green, well-paying union jobs. This is your opportunity to step up with @GovAbbott and lead. #BidenStepUp #TXneedsaGND @SunriseMvmtHTX

.@POTUS Texans have suffered financially, emotionally, and physically during this climate crisis. Will your administration help lead the way forward?

Because if we don’t take action now, there will be many more crises to come. #BidenStepUp #TXneedsaGND

The only science that allows politicians to blame renewable energy for blackouts is Political Science. Renewables outperformed natural gas and coal.

Despite the increasing number of severe weather crises, the Republican Party continues to deny the impact of climate change.

All this needs to be called out for the appalling ignorance and political expediency that it is.

Seems like a good time to declare climate change a national emergency

[Texas Drought Project @DroughtTexas]

Joe Biden's Climate Plan looks good, but is it enough? To us, it looks like a good place to START:

@GretaThunberg is kind of our hero. Speaking truth to power so directly, so plainly, and with a level head is amazing.

The Keystone XL pipeline's permit was rescinded
The US has rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement

Let's not stop now -- let's keep going!

In the Top 20 recipients of Oil and Gas in the House, there are only four Dems. All from the state of Texas. A thread.
