Tariffs are the new climate science denial. Cherry pick your 1% outlier 'expert' (e.g. Peter Navarro/Dick Lindzen), reject the 99% expert consensus, insulate yourself in a bubble of like-minded deniers, and convince yourself that any day now reality will change and prove you right.

Big news: the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that Trump's EPA *can not* revoke California's waiver under the Clean Air Act. Now we'll see whether the GOP gives a shit what the parliamentarian says.

Several big companies stand up for energy tax credits in a letter to Michigan's Congressional delegation, arguing these tax credits help them "remain competitive in a rapidly evolving national and global market," attract $29 billion in private investment in MI's economy & create 127,000 jobs. 🔌💡

Canada's consumer carbon price is dead, not because it was bad policy, or because it was bad politics, as we often hear. It is dead because of misinformation, false or misleading claims intentionally spread to convince people it cost them money. The question to ask now: what will we do instead?

High-efficiency geothermal heat pumps are as cheap as gas or electric heating alternatives when built into homes from the ground up, say startup Dandelion Energy and homebuilder Lennar. They're building 1,500 homes in Colorado to prove the proposition: www.canarymedia.com/articles/geo... #energysky

More than 1,900 scientists write letter in ‘SOS’ over Trump’s attacks on science Members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine warned Americans of ‘real danger in this moment’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nice @us.theguardian.com article by @dharna.bsky.social, @aliyaute.bsky.social, and Oliver Milman on the data and efforts to convince House Republicans to defend the IRA, featuring @cclusa.org's lobbying efforts www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today is the LAST DAY to have all new and increased monthly donations matched by angel donors $4-to-$1! We smashed our goal and our stretch goal last week. We have until midnight PST tonight to crush our NEW stretch goal. Let's do this! ⬇️

Renewables accounted for 93% of global power capacity growth in 2024, and now comprise 46% of world-wide power generating capacity theprogressplaybook.com/2025/03/26/r...

there’s been this fragile optimism on #greensky about the nation’s first climate law under Trump 2.0. the thinking goes, the IRA will survive a GOP trifecta because it is sending $$$$ to red districts. today in @heatmap.news, @emilypont.bsky.social and i explain just how wrong that is now.

Trump 47 + 2 months What is happening to US clean energy manufacturing investments? My research students at @wellesley.edu and I are tracking it. By our count, in past month, 3 projects slowed and 4 advanced. Details below. www-the-big-green-machine.com/post-trump-s... 1/10

🚨 New report We modeled all 48 contiguous U.S. states and our analysis finds that repealing the Inflation Reduction Act will force consumers to pay more for #energy and will cost Americans jobs. Check out the state-by-state breakdown: energyinnovation.org/report/infla... #energysky #greensky

Breaking News: The EPA plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists.

RECORD | California and Nevada each surpassed 30% solar in their electricity mix for the first time in 2024, a first for US states 🇺🇸 Batteries were crucial to CA’s success, transferring a significant share of daytime solar to the evening. ember-energy.org/lat...

🚨NEW: climate inaction will cost more than a third of global GDP this century, but an investment of less than 2% GDP now will reduce harms by 90% - a "massive opportunity for humanity", finds a report from Boston Consulting Group and University of Cambridge.

A brand new episode of SHIFT KEY just dropped, and it's a doozy. @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social and @jessedjenkins.com are joined by Heatmap senior reporter @jael.bsky.social to chat about offshore wind's uncertain future under Trump. Listen below ⬇️

New REPEAT Project report: repealing federal tax credits and regs supporting deployment of electric vehicles would slow sales and threaten the economic viability of dozens of manufacturing projects taking shape across the country. zenodo.org/records/1500... 🔌💡

That's a wrap on CCL's annual Conservative Climate Leadership Conference & Lobby Day! 🎉 Thanks to our right-of-center volunteers who showed up and showed out on Capitol Hill last week to defend the Inflation Reduction Act clean energy tax credits and support a foreign pollution fee.

The first victims of Trump’s trade war? Minnesotans struggling to pay their skyrocketing electric bill. Minnesota cannot afford Trump’s billionaire-run economy. We have to put a stop to this madness. www.startribune.com/ontario-slap...

1/ Really heartbroken to learn that Kevin Drum, a long time blogger and essayist for @motherjones.com has died after a long battle with multiple myeloma. Here's a note from his wife Marian, who's also set up a memorial page on Facebook. jabberwocking.com/health-updat...

the model predicts 50% BEV end of '26 #BEV #alwaysbecharging #China @leraffl.bsky.social for President :D ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Meet the 21 House Republicans who want to save the Inflation Reduction Act's energy tax credits (that's three more than last year, btw).

Goode morning with good news: UK's fully electric EV (BEV) sales surged 42% in February 2025, compared to February 2024. BEVs were 25.2% of UK auto sales. BEVs and Plug-in hybrids total 33.9% of sales, up from 24.8%. UK is 7th largest auto market. #energysky cleantechnica.com/2025/03/08/e...

20 House Republicans sign letter urging the party not to repeal "sector-wide energy tax credits" and "avoid undoing... private sector investments which will continue to increase domestic manufacturing, promote energy innovation & keep utility costs down" subscriber.politicopro.com/f/?id=000001... 🔌💡

Take it from a trans climate journalist: anti-renewables bills are *the new thing* in Republican states. And it risks completely derailing the energy transition, no matter what Trump does. My latest for @heatmap.news #greensky #climatesky #energysky heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

‘I’m Heartbroken’: CA Scientists Left Adrift by Mass Federal Layoffs at NOAA Their stories are similar and heart-wrenching. The early-career federal workers are planning marriages, recently signed mortgages and were saving to buy their first homes. @kqednews.kqed.org www.kqed.org/news/1202979...

Hi - I'd like to share this story of what is happening at NOAA GFDL, where some of my colleagues and I worked until the mass firings at NOAA last week. "...the birthplace of weather and climate forecasting"

AMS President-Elect Alan Sealls on CBS: "The more you cut, the less likely the Weather Service is able to keep up with [daily and severe weather]. ... Whether you're looking on TV [or] at a weather app, NOAA is the foundation of all of these forecasts." Watch: www.cbsnews.com/video/what-n...

SCOOP with @kirstenkorosec.bsky.social: Volkswagen's new super-cheap EV the ID EVERY1 will be the first in its portfolio to use Rivian's software -- the result of the recently-inked joint venture between the two companies. techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/v...

Anticipated 19 GW of added global offshore wind capacity in 2025 would nearly double the previous record of 10.2 GW set in 2023. China is the nation of 'energy dominance' in this arena, as in most clean technologies. The US is falling behind and risks becoming 'energy dominated' #EnergySky

The actual news is pushing hard into Onion territory now. Cancel NCEP's lease?? "The modeling center runs the computer models used in day-to-day weather forecasting, and ensures that weather data correctly goes into these models and that they are operating correctly." www.axios.com/2025/03/03/d...

Strong & clear statement by @ametsoc.org: "Recent terminations within the government workforce for science are likely to cause irreparable harm & have far-reaching consequences for public safety, economic well-being, & United States' global leadership." www.ametsoc.org/ams/...

Today, a broad coalition of scientific professional societies who represent over 92,000 scientists are speaking out against the politicization and demonization of Federally funded science and government scientist jobs. It was an honor to help the Union of Concerned Scientists with this! 🧪🌎

We are speechless. 🌊 We lost so many from the #OceanAcidification #mCDR team and so many other #NOAA departments today.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

EEE and API … Welcome to the Resistance! subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

There is a new study out in Nature about the Atlantic overturning circulation. I will be curious to see the media reporting on this. If you wonder why, read my blog article on it! 🌊 www.realclimate.org/index.php/ar...

NEW: Official advisers CCC say UK shld cut emissions 87% by 2040 ⚖️Net cost of net-zero 73% less than thought 💷Total cost to 2050 = £108bn (~£4bn/yr, 0.2% GDP) 🏡🚗H’hold energy/fuel bills to fall £1,400 🔌Electrification is key THREAD + charts www.carbonbrief.org/... 1/10

OK, time to pull out some of the key seventh carbon budget charts, with a focus on heat... www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

My big offshore wind @heatmap.news feature today has a LOT of scoops in it. One of them? I was told National Labs are under “strict guidance” not to answer questions from reporters about the Trump administration. #greensky #climatesky #energysky heatmap.news/energy/trump...
