@wharton_sinkler @karl_danz Carbon Dioxide Removal (most likely)

Are climate targets now pointless? https://t.co/1NK0dzF9KW via @YouTube An unusually pessimistic post from Just Have A Think, but right on target.

@LionHirth Qatar? Increase the pressure (pun intended) on EU to buy their gas a high prices.

Sounds good, but waiting for the details. https://t.co/CrhH7xzDPS

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

This is PRECISELY why I keep repeating that it's not about saving the planet, it's about saving US; us humans and many of the other living things that share this planet with us. If we see it as competition, people OR the planet, many see insufficient reason to act.

My take on the IRA? It's a lovely big bag of carrots. Our new job? Getting states and utilities to eat their carrots.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Is the #InflationReductionAct enough to meet the US's Paris Target? This @rhodium_group analysis says, not quite: but it's a lot more than what we have now. So I say do it...and then do more! We'll never tackle climate if we make perfect the enemy of good. https://t.co/GWhLAVRLpN

Now, back to getting a #priceoncarbon!

[Larry Peranich @LarryPeranich]

@SaraJacobsCA We still need to get the IRA through the House. Please do what you can to make this happen. The climate portions of the bill are a good start, though we need more in the future.

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

34 years and 40 days ago, Jim Hansen broke the news of global warming to the U.S. Senate.

Finally, today, they act

It's late, it's deeply compromised, and it's also a great victory for all who have fought so long and hard.
Such thanks to all of you, and on to the next battles

Climate voters and advocates: Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel?
Make sure Democrats in Congress know that we share their vision.

Send your words of support to your MOC's.

It is striking how many daily headlines are talking about events that were exacerbated by climate change. Here is just a short rundown from today as an example of the many many ways climate change is affecting us HERE and NOW. Please add any I missed. (Thread)

[CCL San Diego, CA @CCLSanDiegoCA]

Come to San Diego's Climate Action Plan Review Committee on Wed, May 25 from 3 - 5 PM (via Zoom). Main topic: reducing GHG emissions by requiring new buildings to use electricity instead of natural gas.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[Larry Peranich @LarryPeranich]

More good climate news. https://t.co/2iLM2EOsku

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

OMG! We would love to see some American politicians do a commercial like this. #ClimateChange

[Larry Peranich @LarryPeranich]

GM will be 100% electric cars by 2035. Oil companies can see what's coming.

https://t.co/4RYrZrzUkA - U.S. can't make enough fuel and there's no refinery fix in sight

[Citizens' Climate Lobby @citizensclimate]

Oil is the lifeblood of Putin’s regime. Contact Congress and ask them to switch to clean energy so that we never have to fund the whims of a dictator again ➡�� https://t.co/ixBv2KeTYH
