You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that:

Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years.
Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years.

We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem.

What do we want? Slightly lower power bills!
When do we want it? In 2040!

Through the first 10 days of the month of November, the planet has averaged 1.94°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

Will I have to raise the y-axis above 2.0°C before the year is out? The Climate 8-Ball is shivering with antici ...

In the last quarter alone, the 9 largest oil companies pocketed $95 billion in profits.

I call on governments to tax these windfall profits & use them to help vulnerable countries recover.

Polluters must pay.

This tweet exchange is everything.

It perfectly illustrates that Corporate Dems and their pundits are genuinely angry at the entire idea of populist candidates getting elected and then actually attempting to fulfill the policy promises they made to voters.

“This bill ... has never had a single hearing, not in the House, not in the Senate. ... It eliminates tools that states and localities use to fight the development of new data centers and detention centers, and to protect their clean water ..." 👏👏👏👏

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.

Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.

I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.

I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.

I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.

What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”

That is not good.

All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”

Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.

@More_Nature_Plz It did not.

[Benji Backer @BenjiBacker]

The most anti-American idea possible.

If they pursue this, they’ll find out that’s exactly how 95% of Americans feel.

By kneecapping litigation and the remedies available if successful, BAJAA gives cart blanche to the federal government to run roughshod over environmental laws with no accountability and no recourse for the public.

[Patrick Donnelly @bitterwaterblue]

It may be distasteful, but litigation is the enforcement mechanism for environmental laws, & vacatur is the ultimate remedy. Litigation exists to keep the government honest in permitting. If they break the law, the project gets put on hold while they fix it. Makes sense. #BAJAA

@ArmandDoma Do I need to screenshot your original post for context? Enough with the bad faith arguments. You ridiculed people who think that protecting Native cultural sites is the right thing to do by suggesting they were all religious hypocrites.

[Jason Rylander 🌎☮️🕊️ @JasonRylander]

@donaldjdzepeda @vhexcellentmail @janignitiontank As are most climate experts and attorneys who understand what it does.

[Jason Rylander 🌎☮️🕊️ @JasonRylander]

If BAAJA is really bipartisan, why won't Republicans vote for a better version in January?

[Jason Rylander 🌎☮️🕊️ @JasonRylander]

@jim30x5 Make him. And hold accountable those who won’t override. Least common denominator politics needs to stop.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The climate crisis is outrunning us.

Meanwhile, fossil fuel interests keep making a killing - while killing our planet.

But we cannot surrender.

In fact, we must fight harder.

We are in the fight for our lives & for our children’s future.

And we must win.

1. Hmmm, how can I put this politely...
Australia is fucked.

... Not so much because of the "climate" but because no one is yet shouting it loud and clear that the country's political class which has facilitated 30 years of massive carbon emissions are guilty of treason - plain and simple.

[Jason Rylander 🌎☮️🕊️ @JasonRylander]

@DavidPomerantz @JigarShahDC Also a good idea. 👍

Trump admin announces plans to sell off public lands, just as it pushes Congress to rollback bedrock environmental laws via BAAJA

[Jason Rylander 🌎☮️🕊️ @JasonRylander]

@bitterwaterblue Got me back on this hell site too. Though I will say sparring with the abundance stans is a vibe.
