Russo called climate change a "serious concern." But he also said there's too much focus on climate and not enough on dirty air and water. "This is all bullshit, it's a distraction," he said. "It's like everybody hides behind global warming." https://t.co/n12cIQkQiO

Trump has picked his longtime environmental consultant Ed Russo to lead an environmental advisory task force. Russo wrote a 2016 book called, "Donald J. Trump: An Environmental Hero." https://t.co/nBI20FQZMr

He suggested then that he'd make a good EPA spokesman. "If I was an EPA spokesman, as soon as the first question came up, 'Do you believe in climate change?' No, hold the phone, stop, what happened to global warming, everybody? I would stick to that until their brains melted."

.@theAAG Place names may seem simple, but they carry deep meaning & controversy. Renaming Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' could spark global tension, significant costs & nationalist worldview. Is it worth it? Thanks @rbravender for chance to contribute https://t.co/nREFLO0LVe

I asked @elonmusk whether he’d like to scrap EV tax credits under the IRA.

He said: “I think we get rid of all credits.”

This #ElectionDay, @rbravender and I break down how the coming transition could get bumpy

One nugget — if we don't have a obvious winner by next week, both Harris and Trump could have their own separate transition teams visiting the agencies

Just over a year after Greenpeace USA hired Ebony Twilley Martin as its executive director, she quietly left the group this month. Greenpeace says only that she "has transitioned from her role." Her allies say she was sidelined after an internal fight.

Worth noting that this ad appears to have been posted before Biden dropped out of the race and retooled for the Harris campaign. h/t @KevinBogardus

[Robin Bravender @rbravender]

The vice president’s campaign is seeking a “utility player” who can “break through the noise” about climate change.
