We climate change people are too gentle. The fossil fuel companies are waging wars with say machine guns and we climate activists are throwing water balloons. @jeffgoodell with @siddshrikanth @JLFLitfest @JaipurLitFest

For life to survive we need a goldilocks zone, neither too hot nor cold, water, etc. and every living thing has a goldilocks zone and we need that temprature range to survive. @jeffgoodell in conversation with @siddshrikanth @JLFLitfest #JLFISLANDOFIRELAND

Americans think that because they have AI on their phones and overnight Amazon that they have Mother Nature whipped.

Not the case, writes @jeffgoodell. If the Palisades fire proves anything, it's that the Earth (and us on it) are in serious trouble.

“I think the extremely strong desire is to just punish universities however possible,” @kevincarey1 says. “It’s not based on any kind of coherent policy agenda. It’s just a desire to inflict pain.”https://t.co/cJdiqWHJ2V

READ @jeffgoodell on Why Los Angeles Burned. As he writes: "We’re in serious trouble." https://t.co/siEElHhA0q @RollingStone

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.

One good thing about Trump speculating about taking Greenland is that it might inspire more people to think about what's happening in the icy north and to pick up
@NeilShubin's ENDS OF THE EARTH. I can't recommend highly enough. It's a cosmic adventure story written in ice.

"'The results debunked theories that climate change might be a net lifesaver in Europe by reducing the number of people dying from cold,' said Antonio Gasparrini, the paper’s senior author and a professor at LSHTM. "  https://t.co/USpCscUPtk

"From his jail cell, Mr. Yoon has vowed to fight to regain office."

South Korea schools the US in how to deal with a lawless president.

Love how Texas grid is moving in exactly the opposite direction of Trump: Wind rising fast, coal falling fast.

ERCOT fuel mix from 2006 to 2024 now available:
- Natural gas above its 19-year running average of 43% to 44% in 2024.
- Solar hitting 10% of total energy generated.
- Wind holding steady %-wise, but up in absolute terms.
- The ERCOT grid is now 42% clean energy!

Here is my summary of the environmental, energy and climate provisions in the executive orders that Trump issued last night. https://t.co/ZgpOWLye0M Bottom line: Doing everything they can to increase both supply of and demand for fossil fuels.

After fossil fuel-fired hurricanes 🌀 Helene and 🌀 Milton ransack Southeast US & massive 🔥 🔥 burn down parts of LA, people cheer a fossil fuel president #Trump. Just surreal. 🤯

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

Trump saying he’s going to bring back the Keystone XL pipeline is like a guy at Blockbuster saying he’s going to bring back VHS tapes.

That pipeline was a boondoggle 15 years ago and it’s even dumber today.

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Trump's Paris withdrawal sums up this moment: it will damage the planet while rewarding fossil fuel interests who could care less about a MAGA movement that sees climate scientists as more "elite" than oil executives. Meanwhile, China will lead (and profit) on clean energy

[Jeff Goodell @jeffgoodell]

Trump quits Paris climate agreement and pushes fossil fuels. Musk says the climate crisis is no big deal. I wonder what the owner of this melted Tesla in LA thinks?

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

One astonishing thing about the number of tech billionaires donating $1m to the Trump inauguration is that, for instance, Zuckerberg’s donation is the equivalent of someone worth $200 million donating $1,000.

“The biggest lesson that we need to learn is that we are just plain not prepared for the climate that we have created. Our world is not built for the climate that we live in, and the biggest change is going to require acknowledging that fact.” https://t.co/Js78Ikv0Cu
