A bad look for @Arcadis_NA to share a lobbying firm w/ National Fuel—which is blocking the #NYHEAT Act and locking NY into using more gas—when Arcadis has a contract for flood mitigation and trying to keep this from happening in Lower Manhattan again. See the full @fminusing @twittlesis report on NY’s double agent lobbyists who work for climate and fossil fuel clients

Oil derrick sculpture made of post-wildfire materials. Share the Derrick!

[F Minus @fminusing]

Sculptor Lou Bernadette made this oil derrick from materials salvaged from OR's 2020 wildfires for our protest of @PDXArtMuseum employing #fossilfuel lobbyists. Check out the @fminusing lobbyist list and tell us where to put the derrick next!

Congratulations to @planet on the new SuperDoves as well as the first Pelican prototype making it to orbit today.

The US National Wetlands Inventory is now available as a cloud-native #geospatial format (GeoParquet) on @source_coop 🔥. A big shoutout to @jedsundwall for making it so much easy for me to contribute the first dataset to https://t.co/pmLiTpQD6V🫰Check out the link below on how to access and visualize the data using #leafmap, #duckdb, and #lonboard. Enjoy large geospatial data analysis and visualization in the cloud without have to download data to your computer 😎

Great deep dive into the overture data. I think this dataset is going to keep getting better and better. I’ll be interested to see a follow up post from Mark in a year or two.

[Chris Holmes @opencholmes]

I just released a new tool! A command-line interface (CLI) that takes an AOI (as GeoJSON) and downloads all the buildings from @OvertureMaps or Google Open Buildings datasets to your computer, in the format of your choice (gpkg, shp, etc) Get it at https://t.co/l7pkjNg6Wf...
