It’s time for states, especially those in the eye of the storm, to lead where the federal government is failing, write @ElleJurca, Charles Slidders, and @barnabypace of @ciel_tweets. https://t.co/j7yb0cCO6o

Hurricane season has arrived in the US. As storms grow stronger, protections crumble — yet fossil fuel and insurance industry profits soar in the eye of the storm. Leaders must decide whose side they’re on.👇 Read my latest piece with @barnabypace.

Here's my latest. The cleanup in the Niger Delta, where people drink and fish in oily water, “failed completely” with “significant opportunities” for malpractice awarding contracts, a tranche of leaked UN investigations, emails, letters and minutes reveal

As a former Environment Minister responsible for environmental assessments I can't emphasize how bonkers it is that this mega CCS project won't require a provincial environmental assessment despite huge risks in terms of safety, impact, effectiveness, cost. All risk to Albertans.

FYI, this is how SpaceX, a private company, marks their emails in an attempt to have it exempt from the FOIA when they communicate with a govt agency.

Incredible stat:

A single container ship of solar panels can provide as much electricity as more than 50 large LNG tankers of gas – or 100 large coal ships

There's many more insights in IEA Energy Technology Perspectives 2024 – here's a selection 🧵

Fossil fuels account for 40% of global shipping trade by volume – but only 10% by value

Here's Raytheon getting charges with -- count 'em -- four crimes!

For arms trafficking, bribery and defrauding the government.

And...

No one goes to prison.

EHN reporting collaboration wins Lion Publishing Award!

The bilingual Altavoz Lab investigation documented failures of the Texas state air monitoring system and increased community awareness of pollution linked to Houston’s petrochemical industry.

Fact 1: The IEA, CCC and other expert analysts say heat pumps are the best way to decarbonise home heat

Fact 2: Dale has a commercial interest in biogas, which he claims is a viable alternative to heat pumps

Fact 3: Biogas is not, in fact, a viable alternative to heat pumps

Fact 4: Dale repeats a series of myths about heat pumps that are addressed in this mythbuster by @janrosenow

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage & neurological problems, from their reports — and in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves.

🚢 A damaged cargo ship carrying 20,000 tons of #FossilFertilizers from Russia is stalled off the coast of Kent 🇬🇧.

Its cargo of thousands of tons of hazardous #Toxic nitrogen-based fertilizer could lead to a disastrous explosion.

A thread 🧵👇

[Lindsey Jurca @ElleJurca]

On the heels of the hottest summer on record, the US is poised for a #petrochemical buildout that would add more emissions than all US commercial aviation.

@barnabypace and I wrote a piece on why this is a mistake we can't afford.

The fossil fuel industry continues to pocket massive profits and subsidies.

Meanwhile, everyday people bear the costs of climate catastrophe – from rising insurance premiums to lost livelihoods.

Those who shoulder the blame must foot the bill.

If this buildout proceeds, more than 7% of U.S. GHG emissions could come from the petrochemical sector, write @barnabypace and Lindsey Jurca Durland of @ciel_tweets. https://t.co/SFbm4YUSNm

☠️ Another petrochemical train disaster in Ohio 🚂

Evacuations are under order yet again in Ohio after a train car carrying styrene — a toxic, flammable petrochemical used to make plastics and rubber — was found to be leaking.

Our new analysis finds that the proposed US petrochemical buildout could cause massive new fossil fueled emissions, equivalent to nearly 40 coal power plants in annual emissions.

We've broken down the key findings in our blog.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 The US is poised for a massive #petrochemical buildout that could add annual emissions equivalent to nearly 40 coal power plants, undermining climate targets and locking in fossil fuel emissions for decades to come.
