Honored to be on a panel w/Senator @EdMarkey this week discussing ACTION because the stakes are too high to do anything less. #ClimateChange is here. And IT IS an emergency!

Thank you to @laryu for moderating. @SomervilleCity

New piece out in @SSIReview today—@oliversabot and I arguing that the world is pursuing market shaping for climate tech far too narrowly, and outlining a mental model for what the next wave of green market shaping needs to look like. A 🧵 https://t.co/4ZU6ieP0FR

@qwertnewto Super crisp fried dumplings. Lovely stuff and clean air to boot. Only “downside” is less waste heat in our kitchen.

No more gas will be burned in this house!

Really diligent reporting here on the pernicious influence of climate-denying gas utilities and AIM.

monster @shankman story out today: a peer-reviewed study touting the benefits of green hydrogen, a tech favored by the gas industry, was partially funded by national grid, enbridge, and other gas interests. and there's so much more. https://t.co/GtVAtUgtTj

@somershade1 Can I borrow them for a week or two?

@devincole They haven’t found me on Signal yet.

@trishofthetrade @BosFilipinos Same. It’s hard to imagine how we got to this place.

@nicolewhaat Amazing. I was there in early October and climbed at day break. I would tell 30 year old me to visit Florence and climb the Duomo! (And the clock tower.)

[Larry Yu @laryu]

@nicolewhaat I spy the Duomo cupola in Florence!

If Massachusetts were truly committed to #EnvironmentalJustice, it would #StopPeabodyPeaker. Communities surrounding the new fossil fuel polluter ALREADY have a higher prevalence of a multitude of chronic diseases. #DoYourJob @EEASecretary @maura_healey

@AskTSA Are folding trekking poles allowed in carryon?
Not the collapsible poles, but the folding poles that come apart into separate sections that can be inspected with the hollow insides visible.

[Joseph Kraus @hurrayforfacts]

The massive flooding drowning Nigeria - a country the size of France and Germany combined - is devastating. 1.4 million people displaced, hundreds killed.

But what makes it worse?

It’s not even the worst climate event to hit Africa in 2022.

For that, you need to look east… 🧭

@MattForWard1 You mean Barbara, yes?
