The job of an environmental lawyer usually is not very glamorous. But then sometimes it is! Excited to represent the @SierraClub legal team with Joanne Spalding in Rolling Stone today. Every single lawyer on our team- no exaggeration- does amazing, heroic work.

Meet the badass environmental lawyers who are fighting President Trump's planet-wrecking agenda -- and winning.

A rare good-news story in Trump's Washington, by me https://t.co/9CXDdpND0k

.@SierraClub's document trove from Trump 1 is publicly available, and easily searchable, here: https://t.co/u0ZWJFqGaB Looks like many of the same political hires we #FOIA -ed the first time around may be back (not Pruitt😉) https://t.co/O1rXItGd4T

The Pirkey coal plant in east Texas was demolished today, after years of @SierraClub advocacy. SWEPCO announced retirement for the plant back in 2020, but it finally came down today. One more TX coal plant down, 13 remaining. Go @BeyondCoal! https://t.co/2cKqKevyf7

Were there heatwaves & hurricanes & floods before climate change? Yes, of course there were! And I can *assure* you--atmospheric scientists are well aware of that. But none of this negates the reality that we're seeing now--which is unfortunately not a fluke, but part of a trend.

Reminder: hurricane rapid intensification is a symptom of climate change, which is primarily caused by fossil fuels https://t.co/KyJd4hTs2m

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

The air quality stripes project renders the correlation between fossil-fuels and poor municipal air quality clear as day.

But how many eye-catching graphs must be published before those in power take their responsibility to the public seriously?

Incorrect conclusions are being drawn from this recent Science paper on the effectiveness of climate policies around the world.

What does the paper actually show?

Important @Guardian coverage coverage of our brand new joint report with @greenpeaceusa, Permit to Kill, which shows the expansion of fracked gas exports, called LNG, is responsible for scores of premature deaths and nearly $1 billion in annual health costs. https://t.co/Ue9VJjtMBs

Not "one-eighth of an inch" over 400 years, as Trump says — the National Ocean Service predicted that sea level along the U.S. coastline is projected to rise 10-12 inches from 2020 to 2050. https://t.co/A2eRueeS9l

Governor @Tim_Walz is a climate champion—full stop. In the last few years, he has put on a masterclass of how to meaningfully improve the lives of Minnesotans while tackling the climate crisis.

Michigan used to have a rail system that was double the density of France's, and now its biggest city Detroit sees 3 trains per day instead of 200+.

Trenton Channel coal plant, shuttered as the result of @SierraClub @Earthjustice @EPA legal actions and relentless pressure from the local community, will become the site of a large battery storage project. https://t.co/JJa8cN32xz
