Got 10 minutes to tell us about the climate issues and solutions that matter most to you? https://t.co/fQSmQAh6H0 We’re updating Seattle’s Climate Action Plan, which maps out strategies to reduce pollution, prepare for climate impacts, and build a healthier city for everyone.

Gas appliances are the fracking tailpipes in our homes, releasing harmful pollutants just like giant power plants. That's why we need to move to #HealthyHomesNY and clean energy. Watch & take action now at https://t.co/uitEe74FPh @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins #CarlHeastie

The Biden administration is giving $366 million from the federal infrastructure law to Native American tribes and rural areas for clean energy projects, @JenGranholm announces at tribal energy summit in Southern California: https://t.co/PLXdh1F0yW

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

My Administration is pausing pending decisions on new Liquefied Natural Gas exports.

During the pause, we'll take a hard look at the impacts of exports on costs, energy security, and climate change – the existential threat of our time.

We're committed to getting this right.

Yes, wind turbines kill birds.

But fracking is a lot worse for birds. Even before the climate change part.

I looked at a new study comparing avian harm from building wind farms to drilling oil & gas wells. The difference is stark. My @latimes column: https://t.co/2QL6bkBiWu

A deadly expedition in 1973 on one of the world’s great mountains. A persistent mystery. Nearly 50 years later, a camera emerges from the ice.
Thanks for reading/watching Ghosts on the Glacier

Natalie has released a video for "Sister Tilly" from her new album, 'Keep Your Courage.' The track is dedicated to Joan Didion & pays homage to the generation of women who came of age in the 1960s & '70s.

President Biden announced an initiative to train more than 20,000 young people in skills crucial to combating climate change, such as installing solar panels, restoring coastal wetlands and retrofitting homes to be more energy-efficient. https://t.co/qHFH0M666n

[IPCC @IPCC_CH]

#IPCC's latest report 👉 https://t.co/zAMzd12lR7 shows that current policies are not on track to limit #globalwarming to 1.5°C.

Tomorrow, the @UN Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres convenes a Climate Ambition Summit at #UNGA to accelerate ambition, credibility & implementation.

"Studies have repeatedly found the negative health impacts of fracking," writes The Inquirer Editorial Board. "Instead of safeguarding their constituents, legislators have ensured the fallout continues." https://t.co/SuISngx4oM

[John Armstrong @jharmstro]

Clear, extremely important reporting by @HirokoTabuchi about a new peer-reviewed study about the #climate implications of #natgas. https://t.co/BPxhpAXBt5 @nytimes

[John Bistline @JEBistline]

🚨New paper🚨 In last week's issue of @ScienceMagazine, we conducted the first multi-model study to understand potential costs, benefits, and impacts of IRA.

Here's a 🪡 of key findings…

This is a HUGE win for Washingtonians. Electric heating is cleaner and healthier—protecting our climate, while keeping residents safe from harmful emissions. More states should follow suit. https://t.co/irP6Vdcw4L

BREAKING: Los Angeles is the latest city to ban fossil gas in new homes to fight climate change. With today's unanimous City Council vote, most new buildings will likely come equipped with electric heating and stoves in the next few years: https://t.co/1bOvNrt7Jl

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Fossil fuel interests are now cynically using the war in Ukraine to try to lock in a high carbon future.

A shift to renewables is crucial to mending our broken global energy mix & offering hope to millions suffering climate impacts today.

West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency has received relatively little attention beyond legal circles, @ElizKolbert writes, but its potential ramifications are profound. https://t.co/jDwPrcD8f3

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Svalbard, Norway, though seemingly timeless, is perhaps the closest thing we have to a ticking clock. Climate change all but guarantees an eventual collapse of its vulnerable ecosystem.
