Excellent story by @ZachFuentesABC7 who interviewed me yesterday regarding Treasury guidance change on the EV models eligible for IRA incentives. https://t.co/vwjDw0VWlK (min 28:30) This change is just a starting point as car makers are increasing manufacturing here in the US 1/
Confession time: I've now been to the Hollywood Climate Summit three times, and I always have fun. It that OK? Is climate change allowed to be fun?
Anyway it's my favorite climate conference and I tried to explain why: https://t.co/Or5xv3H9xl
🚨 "Climate has always changed."
Correct.
And because climate has always changed, scientists know what natural climate change looks like.
They know what changes from solar cycles look like.
They know what volcanic forcing looks like.
They know what orbital cycles look like.
And today's warming doesn't match any of them.
What it DOES match is a planet trapping more heat as greenhouse gases rise.
The fingerprints are everywhere:
📈 The lower atmosphere is warming while the upper atmosphere cools.
📈 Nights are warming faster than days.
📈 Land is warming faster than oceans.
📈 Oceans are accumulating record amounts of heat.
📈 Ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice are retreating worldwide.
Most importantly:
Climate models using only natural factors fail to reproduce the warming we've observed since the mid-20th century.
Add human greenhouse gas emissions and the models suddenly match reality.
"Climate has always changed" is true.
But it's not evidence against human-caused climate change.
It's evidence that scientists know how to identify what is causing climate change.
And after testing the alternatives, the answer is the same one reached by NASA, NOAA, the IPCC, and virtually every major scientific academy on Earth:
Human activity is warming the planet.
That's not a hoax.
That's the conclusion the evidence leaves standing.
📈This just in: Scientists at @UCSanDiego's Scripps Oceanography reported that carbon dioxide levels at Mauna Loa Observatory reached 432.00 parts per million (ppm), an increase of 1.8 ppm over May 2025’s measurement of 430.2 ppm. @Keeling_curve ⤵️

I often get asked: what impacts would a shutdown of the Atlantic ocean circulation #AMOC have? A short overview is found in this expert report. Impacts include e.g. widespread domestic food insecurity in Northern Europe and strain on global food systems.

When we first heard of Plug-In solar, we had the same question we've heard from a lot of you: "So, what exactly IS it?" Take a look for yourself 😎 and use the link in bio to ask your state Assemblymember to vote YES on SB 868 to bring safe
Plug-In solar to California!
First CBS News. Then the Washington Post. Now NPR?
They still have climate reporters, but they laid off their chief climate editor — who helped break the #ExxonKnew story — and folded the standalone climate desk.

The blokes at Stepchange Show have produced an epic history of the US grid, "the largest machine ever built," and it is TRULY GREAT. I think it is THE best single piece on the arc and accidents of history that results in our unique American power system.

Give it a listen and share widely. This will be required listening in all my future Introduction to Electricity courses at Princeton. A+ work Ben Eidelson and Anay Shah. 👏
Hard to believe I’m even writing this.
Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.
Now that I have read thru the opinion this jumped out at me:
Huge kudos to Abbe Lowell of L&A for the examination of Matt Floca which the court heavily relied upon in its decision
Nobody does that better than Abbe! Proud to call him and his L&A team friends & colleagues
Today, I led a NJ delegation letter demanding that Secretary Mullin and Acting Attorney General Blanche take action to immediately end the inhumane conditions at Delaney Hall and ICE's retaliatory tactics against detainees and advocates. What I saw there earlier this week and continue to see is absolutely unacceptable. Delaney Hall must be shut down immediately.
South Carolina’s failure to redraw its congressional map to dismantle the state’s lone majority-Black district is not a small victory – it is a titanic one, @marceelias said.
“At least in that one state, for this one election, Black voters will continue to be able to elect their candidate of choice.”
While Trump has spent years yelling at windmills like a modern-day Quixote, American workers were busy building the future.
He might try to slow us down, but clean energy is too durable to be derailed by one Don’s ego. https://t.co/97StcjtnIB
NPR. CBS. Washington Post. The climate desk is vanishing. Here's the data.
NPR's climate desk: gone. CBS gutted its team after reporting a hurricane was intensified by climate change. WaPo laid off 14 climate journalists - 75% of the desk. Broadcast climate coverage collapsed 63% in 3 years per Media Matters. Records fall every week. People die in heat waves. Someone has to cover this.

Trump is shoveling millions of taxpayer dollars into private prison companies like GeoGroup that run Delaney Hall. They would rather boost profits of corporations than make groceries or gas more affordable.
That's the choice on the ballot this November.

BREAKING: The USPS said it’s planning to crack down on mail voting by sending ballots only to voters who are registered with the federal government.
The new proposed rule represents an alarming step toward implementing Trump’s attack on mail voting ahead of the midterms. https://t.co/W1IVNEdYqR
BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!
Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined
Kudos to our wonderful client @RepBeatty
& my colleagues @DDAction_ & Washington Litigation Group
This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption
