Surreal that you can now just go ~*buy*~ the book I've worked on in some way for 5+ years, on what's fueled the climate crisis and what it might look like to salvage a more democratic, abundant future

Please do buy it, and enjoy poking around in my brain! https://t.co/e10OyIeoJC

This is by far the best deep dive into our current climate politics, which includes the truly scary point below.

Everyone read, please.

I went deep on RCP8.5, including a basic explanation of what it is and how it became the subject of a bad-faith culture war that Donald Trump is now posting about

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

empirically speaking it is important, in a warming world, to touch grass

The key to making people like AI data centers is to tell people they're stupid for not liking them

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

interesting how often "NIMBY" is used a euphemism for "the incentives baked into private property ownership"

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

Gonna become a “you can’t say anything anymore” guy but for climate change

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

Hard to say what comes next but touting the benefits of green asset value inflation really, really did not work politically

Unfortunately no magical combination of words is going to create a smooth, conflict-free glide path to decarbonization

[Astead @AsteadWH]

The new agenda from the Congressional Progressive Caucus makes no mention of climate change. And I can't remember the last time I heard about the Green New Deal. Has the left abandoned climate?

amidst the climate "debates" of the past few weeks, @break_downradio is an invaluable bastion of moral and political clarity https://t.co/vBNKu9rVsU

[Kate Aronoff @KateAronoff]

Wild how much DC punditry boils down to complaining that policymakers are talking to one tiny set of NGOs instead of another tiny set of NGOs

[Thea Riofrancos @triofrancos]

As always @KateAronoff nails it.

And check out the linked polling data from @DataProgress based on our agenda for green economic populism @cplusci https://t.co/3xO4F2a2xp

[Rithika Ramamurthy @rithika_ram]

Great piece that highlights polling by @DataProgress for @cplusci's Working Class Climate Agenda, which shows that Green Economic Populist policies—ones that link lowering utility bills and building public power to bringing down emissions—are wildly popular and wildly urgent.

“Democrats—who mostly aren’t talking about climate change—are continuing to debate whether they should talk about climate change.”

[Sandeep Vaheesan @sandeepvaheesan]

Spot on: "Populist policies to mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis are thankfully pretty popular. They’re also too big—and too threatening to elites—to be quietly enacted by politicians claiming their only concerns are affordability and lower energy prices."

[Searchlight Institute @SearchlightInst]

.@KateAronoff: The so-called “climate hushers” are right about some things.

The particular way that party candidates and lawmakers have talked about climate over the last several years clearly hasn’t furnished them with electoral majorities.
