@CANIntl@harjeet11@mohadow 86% of the carbon emissions trapped in our atmosphere come from three products: oil, gas, and coal. The whole idea that here we’re fighting to have language of a phase-out of fossil fuels incorporated in the text, 30 years after climate negotiations began, is *absurd*. 4/8
Really good breakdown from @jeffsaintjohn of how choices by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s appointees are crashing California’s rooftop solar market. https://t.co/3Ts4OzbnXR
The largest loss of green jobs in modern history is now unfolding in CA. Companies that should be thriving, are struggling to survive. This is not the future. This is the worst past we've ever seen. @CAgovernor - We need your leadership here at home. SOS

Column: California strikes another blow against rooftop solar. I agree with @Sammy_Roth - this argument has been going on for too long. We need rooftop solar/ storage. It’s time to solve this asap. Climate depends on it. https://t.co/SFIik2Yytl
In my reporting on clean energy misinformation I've seen one argument over and over.
Wind turbines kill birds.
While this is true, it misses an important piece of context:
Fossil fuel power plants kill 35x more birds per GWh than wind turbines do.

CA can continue its legacy of climate leadership with #SB253 + #SB261
These bills focus on corporate emissions transparency, a game-changer for our climate strategy.
@GavinNewsom, please sign these bills & continue our tradition of leadership!
These are real scientists protesting. There's almost no one in the media speaking up passionately about this - apart from those you'd expect - so I cant see how we have any hope of saving ourselves. Most people are choosing the collapse pathway through apathy. It is what it is.
Youth of color are not just imagining but building a world where #NoOneIsDisposable. This movement is for and by youth. If you support our demands, share this message! ✊🏿 #EarthDay2023
SF Budget & Appropriations Cmt votes tomorrow on the 10-year schedule for GO Bonds SF uses to raise funds. Climate action is not on the schedule. @shamannwalton, insist on a #SFClimateBond in 2024!

It’s not just your stove! Your water heater and furnace emit PM and NOx pollution from burning gas - and can leak methane too. PM & NOx make folks sick! @AirDistrict has propose stronger rules to fix the problem. @ vote yes on the amendments to 9-4 & 9-6! @MyrnaMelgar
3 CA oil drillers:
- Put over $10 mil into undoing setback protections
- Have 3,186 wells within the setback

Big Oil’s ruthless attempts to overturn the setback rule are funded by the money they took from US at the pump.
Let’s protect our setbacks, stop their profiteering, and show them we won’t stop fighting.
California needs to quadruple its rooftop solar capacity, but the @californiapuc proposal discourages solar by slashing proven incentives. We need @GavinNewsom to step in and #SaveSolar to keep clean energy growing.
a new report on the state of climate action looked at 40 indicators of change and found not a single one is on track to keep the world from heating to the level at which world leaders promised to try to stop global warming 1/
“Unborn babies have air pollution particles in their developing lungs and other vital organs as early as the first trimester, new research has revealed.” https://t.co/rd0EquehIj
The “social cost of carbon” seeks to put a price tag on the damage to our environment caused by carbon dioxide.
And experts think we’ve been undercharging ourselves.
