I run HEATED, a weekly-ish newsletter devoted to climate accountability journalism. Philly-based. She/her.

Literally could not have created a better advertisement for HEATED if I tried.

We have a new collaboration with @emorwee that takes a look at the oil and gas industry's strategy to dismantle climate policy and boost fossil fuel production during a second Trump administration. More here: https://t.co/BYfh4FFObs

Think I'm finally done here. Actually having fun on the sky app like it's 2019 again. See me there, same username 🫶👋

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

@MagWes @ThierryAaron I’m there too

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

Trump has already established an EPA transition team led by two former fossil fuel lobbyists with “years of experience in dismantling environmental protections”

The landowners said they were left with unplugged, abandoned wells that pose health risks, degrade the environment and hurt property values.

See, the Trump administration will protect access to clean air and water. Like it won't be widely available but definitely you will be able to access it somewhere

Elon Musk "has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won, dining with him on the patio at times" and "weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles," @kaitlancollins reports

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Video shows Elnur Soltanov, a chief executive of @COP29_AZ, discussing using the COP to drive "investment opportunities" in their state oil & gas company.

"We have a lot of gas fields that are to be developed," he said to the reporter posing as an investor.

@BBC has the story.

[John Morales @JohnMoralesTV]

I’m an atmospheric scientist not a journalist. Don’t expect neutrality on science policy. You’ll find little argument among climate scientists that the setbacks & abdication of American climate leadership expected in the next 4+ years could spell a fatal blow to staying below 2°C

@rmarg516 Thank you!

Trump’s re-election is the nail in the coffin for 1.5 degrees Celsius, the critical threshold past which the planet will experience significantly more extreme climate impacts, nine climate scientists and policy experts told us this week. https://t.co/nNT8xfW6vt

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

A note to Dem politicians and campaigns: You won't persuade voters with a one-off appearance on a popular podcast the week before the election (which is not a knock on Harris' campaign; she only had a couple months so they did all they could). The reason Republicans are winning over so many young people is because the right invests hours and hours, everyday, every month, every year in audience-building among its influencer class. We can't compete by sticking our candidates on an episode one time in October of an election year. Democrats need to embrace YEAR-ROUND progressive media (either directly political or political-adjacent) if we want to compete. But you cannot only remember independent media outlets exist 2 weeks before an election-- not in a media environment where the vast majority of Americans (and practically ALL persuadable Americans) are consuming content on alternative outlets.

@jijjle Thank you! It is, I love it so far

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

I have a new answer to the question, “What does media need to do now that Trump has been re-elected?” I think you guys are really gonna like it

[Rachel Donald @CrisisReports]

WTF with @emorwee

What a Trump Presidency means for climate action – with added humour because if you're not laughing you're crying amirite.

On Tuesday, voters in Washington state decisively upheld a landmark climate law that created a cap-and-invest program that has raised billions of dollars for clean energy and electrification projects across the state https://t.co/P9uzA3H4DD
