"Eight years ago many tech leaders rightly condemned Trump's withdrawal" from the Paris climate agreement, said @BillWeihl, Facebook's former director of sustainability. "Their silence now is cowardly." https://t.co/baVLgb45aM

“Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models – and could rapidly accelerate global heating.”

Happy Monday from the Holy Sh*t Department of the #climateemergency:

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Thousands of people urged @CBS and Moderator @NorahODonnell to include a question about Helene and climate change. This morning 6 young people were arrested at CBS HQ calling for it.

Tonight, the 2nd question at the debate was exactly that.

This is a huge win.

Governor @Tim_Walz is a climate champion—full stop. In the last few years, he has put on a masterclass of how to meaningfully improve the lives of Minnesotans while tackling the climate crisis.

Scoop for @grist: For years, employees at Microsoft have been pressuring management to stop creating AI-based tools to help fossil fuel giants extract more oil.

With the company failing to budge, they're now speaking out publicly for the first time: https://t.co/d2BcIKg6XA

Scoop: Former Microsoft employees and internal documents offer a rare glimpse into how tech industry workers apply pressure to hold their bosses accountable on climate change. Thread 👇👇👇

For years, employees at @Microsoft worked internally to push for the company to cut ties with fossil fuels.

However, they were met with nothing short of gaslighting & greenwashing. 🤔

For the first time, they’re telling their stories from the inside.👇

[ElevenLabs @ElevenLabs]

At this year’s GreenBiz conference, there was one speech that stood out from the rest. Bill Weihl, founder of @ClimateVoiceOrg, highlighted the impact that vocal employees within companies have on climate policy, by speaking up so companies step up.

Bill, who lost his own voice to ALS, delivered his powerful speech using ElevenLabs. We’re honored to have played a small role in his work and are eager to find more ways we can use our technology to support others. If you, or someone you know, is battling ALS and can benefit from our technology, please get in touch: https://t.co/iBIhqBMjNp

“Some companies actually pass the vibe check internally, but by paying dues to the @USChamber they undo all [climate] progress. Big yikes!” 💯
