BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

So I guess Trump isn't going to yank nonprofit status from a bunch of green groups on Earth Day? Or at least, that's what they're saying as of this precise moment.

I've mostly stopped doing fact-checks of Trump claims about climate change, b/c most of them are so tired and obviously stupid. But this latest claim felt new—and potentially potent for parents of young kids. So I dove into the science of climate anxiety in children:

“Yes, they’re anxious. But they’re ignoring the cause of that anxiety, which is the failure of governments to act.”

Climate research doesn't fuel climate anxiety. Failure to act on climate change does. Canceling climate research will undoubtedly fuel climate anxiety among young people as well as adults. Great article here. 🔥

Democrats really need to start accusing Republicans of destroying children's mental health by not doing anything about climate change. Because that's exactly what the science says they're doing.

After weekend 1 of Coachella saw near-record-breaking heat and water lines 30+ minutes long, I'm thinking about why Massive Attack turned down performing this year. “It’s in Palm Springs. It’s a golf resort built on a desert, run on a sprinkler system, using public water supplies. Mental."

I gotta say, “women are going to space” sounds a lot nicer than “the ultra rich are taking hyper-polluting joyrides to space while the planet descends into climate chaos”

The stupid coup's stupid energy policy--coal is just a dirty, expensive, moribund way to make electricity, and it's also some kind of symbolic Ye Mannehood of Olde stuff that the right gets all sentimental about, while screwing over actual coal miners.

I can’t stop thinking about this framing when it comes to climate. And I don’t mean “doom” as in “I feel badly about this situation,” but as in “it’s too late.” Someone responded to my post about the impact of climate activism yesterday calling it hopium. Two people who follow me liked it.

I've been noting how storage is the fossil fuel killer for a while now. I believe I got that language from something @gregor.us wrote back in the day. The fossil fuel industry knows it and that is why they are trying to kill storage projects. They're too late. Investors figured it out.

If the feedstock for “sustainable” aviation fuel comes from food crops, as is allowed in the US, emissions relative to fossil fuels will increase because of the high land requirements & resulting deforestation. Achieving US 2050 SAF target via corn ethanol would require 120% of US corn land.
