Here's why #climate should care:
#SCOTUS on Thursday said pork producers may not proceed with their claims against a California animal welfare law in a ruling that may bolster statesโ authority to set their own climate regulations.
By my tally, Dems' effort to decarbonize the grid has been rebranded three times
First they touted a Clean Electricity Standard, or CES. Then they devised a Clean Electricity Payment Program, or CEPP, which they're now calling the Clean Electricity Performance Program, also CEPP

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of visual content @NASAPersevere has captured, take a breath and enjoy what it would sound like to sit on the surface of Mars with the rover:
Dark rocks. Light rocks. Hole-y rocks.
Ken Williford, @NASAPersevere deputy project scientist, describes some of the initial observations made by @NASAJPL teams about what the rover has captured from the Martian surface:
