"There's a pretty clear path now to achieving Biden's emissions reduction goals" but doing so requires building out grid capacity, tackling workforce + supply chain challenges - @robbieorvis tells @Esthernow https://t.co/pPNqXWZyMT

[Esther Whieldon @Esthernow]

All too often the need for new technologies to achieve net-zero emissions is talked about in the abstract. Our 3-part podcast series aims to demystify carbon removal technologies. Check out part 3 on ESG Insider with @Lindsey_A_Hall and Jennifer Laidlaw https://t.co/04wOv3nJdL

Scientists are working with California farmers to test whether rock dust from mines can help decarbonize the agriculture sector. Hear about it on our latest episode of the ESG Insider podcast. @BenHoulton #climatechange @SPGSustainable1 @Lindsey_A_Hall https://t.co/04wOv3nJdL

Many supplies that other industries need to support their low-carbon transition will be transported on cargo and container ships fueled by fossil fuels. https://t.co/FxOMgcyATz

@Allison_Good1 Find some wild violets and their leaves (this is gross, but) chew them in your mouth and apply as a poultice to the area where the sting has happened and it'll go away. They have a cooling property for skin irritations. Or you can use some broadleaf plantain for the same purpose

Biden administration is mulling issuing an executive order on #climate finance at its April 22 summit per article by @zcolman https://t.co/t382r7QRzi Kerry mentioned he was in talks with banks on this issue during CERA week earlier this month. https://t.co/uXlIX1Gpgo

"The lead sheep has moved, the pack is shuffling, and very shortly, the herd will stampede," says @TimBuckleyIEEFA.

"That will be game over for any high emissions dinosaur who forgot to prepare a transition plan." via @taykuy @Esthernow @GaurangDholakia https://t.co/7CHu8cgqTe

Embedded in Biden's recent sweeping #climatechange orders are measures on #environmentaljustice and #justtransition. Check out my piece on why those elements are fundamental to the success of tackling climate change. @SPGMarketIntel https://t.co/PyXd6XM6Es

@Allison_Good1 wow.

Wow. POLITICO Acquires E&E News https://t.co/rnFZ1DsspY via @politico

[Esther Whieldon @Esthernow]

@emorwee For me the word is "posh". Not only is it a fun word to say "esp w a British accent" but it sometimes prompts me to break into song "P-O-S-H, P-O-S-H, posh," from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The denialism and humor of the scene makes me laugh https://t.co/jG56a21jeo

[Esther Whieldon @Esthernow]

Really great interactive piece here that demonstrates how income levels can really make a huge difference in pollution exposure. https://t.co/eJEWGTRPvD

[Esther Whieldon @Esthernow]

Great reporting by @ben_elgin on problems with carbon offsets. This is a big challenge because corporations will be turning to this option more and more as they pursue decarbonization goals. https://t.co/fsig9LwaxL

[Esther Whieldon @Esthernow]

A Biden victory could usher in new era of #environmentaljustice policies but advocates acknowledge they will also have to contend with the powerful fossil fuels lobby along the way. Ready my story with @Allison_Good1 https://t.co/egbSboykVD

[S&P Global @SPGlobal]

From @SPGMarketIntel: On the latest episode of #ESG Insider, hosts @LindseyA_White and @Esthernow interview @CFTCbehnam on how U.S. financial regulators need to step up in the fight against climate change: https://t.co/rr7hlSMZHJ

[Jeff Dukes @DukesJeff]

"Many of the nation's coal-fired power plants, often heavy consumers of water resources, are in areas projected to soon face water stress due to climate change." #Indiana is one highlighted area.

Nice to see this @taykuy & @Esthernow story using @PurdueCCRC's #INCCIA reports.
