@ElizKolbert @DoctorVive "It’s now a case study of sorts of how so-called red state voters can defy conventional wisdom by supporting progressive measures, while repeatedly electing conservative lawmakers who explicitly reject them."

@ElizKolbert @DoctorVive I live in Missouri and NPR has been highlighting disconnect between the preferred policies and the candidates chosen by the voters. https://t.co/01ohfcwXsz

New UNEP emissions gap report highlights a "massive gap between rhetoric and reality" and calls for a "quantum leap" in ambition to deliver Paris goals, as the world is way off-track today.

I've always thought we needed a way to make fossil fuel companies pay for climate disasters.

This bill does it.

With data for July from @CopernicusECMWF, the odds of 2024 being the warmest year on record has increased to over 95%. This is despite July coming in (slightly) below 2023 levels in that dataset:

Our best estimate is that 2024 will be 1.57C (1.50C to1.63C) above preindustrial.

August 1st is Earth Overshoot Day. In just 7 months, we've used more resources than our planet can regenerate in a year. We need 1.75 Earths to sustain current consumption levels. 🌍📉 #EarthOvershootDay #Sustainability

Global surface temperatures from @BerkeleyEarth are now out for June. It was the warmest June on record for land, oceans, and the globe as a whole by a sizable margin (~0.14C), and came in at 1.6C above preindustrial levels.https://t.co/z7qNwZIuqS

Flamingos are not pink.

They are born with grey feathers, which gradually turn pink in the wild because of a dye called canthaxanthin obtained from their diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae.

This is a baby flamingo.

The stuff in Project 2025 on climate and fossil fuels is even worse than you would imagine. As Michael Mann said, this would be “game over for climate progress.” If you care about a livable future, it’s worth understanding what’s in this radical right blueprint. Buckle up.
