Climate Families NYC

Big Tech Says Generative AI Will Save the Planet. It Doesn’t Offer Much Proof A new report finds that of 154 specific claims about how AI will benefit the climate, just a quarter cited academic research. A third included no evidence at all.

To claim something you need to be able to prove it.

Unless you're the #BigTech industry.

In that case, you can just tell everyone AI will solve everything and people will just throw money at you. #GreenSky

Yay! Shoutout to our musical mama sun @esthercrow.bsky.social

In a democracy, the war on Iran would not be possible.

Please note the climate criminals on this list. They are killing current and future generations by poisoning, environmental destruction, and bombing.

children gather around a large sun shape and paint it yellow and green on a checkered red mat

When it's dark, collective action lets the light shine in.☀️

So heartening to be together with 100+ families, Solar One & @dianaforqueens.com @claireforny.bsky.social in Queens today for our event in support of the #SUNNYAct for #Plug-inSolar & to tell Hochul: Don't Trump our climate law!

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Yesssss!

We are going to need Nuremberg Trials when this is all over.

We need school buffer zones for ICE not protests.

These bills will infringe on the rights of ALL New Yorkers.

We call on the entire @council.nyc.gov & @mayor.nyc.gov to reject these bills.

These bills will also make it harder for parents to do essential organizing to protect immigrant students and families from lawless ICE raids and will not make our schools or places of worship safer.

Also, there are schools & places of worship everywhere.

Climate Families NYC strongly opposes the "buffer zone" bills to "combat hate" introduced by Speaker Menin & CM Dinowitz.

These bills will infringe on student & parent first amendment rights & expose immigrant & students of color to unnecessary, risky NYPD enforcement.

New York climate goals face challenge as concern mounts about energy reliability The Public Service Commission is weighing a proposal to suspend or modify green energy transition goals.

While pretending to be a climate leader, @governor.ny.gov is trying to wreck our state's climate law. She is mini-Trump!!

Care about energy reliability? Ban data centers & build cheap renewables.

But no, she's in the pocket of big tech and fossil fuels. Hence this: gothamist.com/news/new-yor...

Someone should also mention to our Governor that states should lead on climate, she seems to have missed that boat!

As Trump Obliterates Climate Efforts, States Try to Fill the Gap

From:

Besides large solar farms, momentum is also building for small solar energy systems that can fit on balconies and in backyards. Lawmakers in 24 states have introduced bills that would allow homeowners and renters to install these systems, which produce enough electricity to power a laptop or small refrigerator. "Is it a silver bullet? No," Liz Krueger, a Democratic state senator in New York, said of the measures. "But is it an opportunity for a huge new set of solar systems, at a cost of $300 per unit? Hello, yes." The buzz behind so-called balcony solar units is bipartisan. In Utah, which last year became the first state to allow these systems, State Representative Raymond P. Ward, I, a Republican who sponsored the bill, said the concept had broad appeal. "People are like, 'Oh, I can just buy that and plug it in?"

Nobody told Kathy but apparently governors can save us money and push back on Trump's EPA by passing legislation for plug-in solar?????

Big tech is torching our kids futures- and lying about it.

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

The repeal of the Endangerment Finding is yet another assault on our children’s health & futures from a regime hellbent on hurting families for billionaires’ profits. Shame on every enabler, complicit institution, corporation & politician.

No one is coming to save our kids from this but us.

If he's trying to radicalize every parent in America by poisoning our children, letting them die by disease, and arresting their classmates, I'd say it's working.

What a year to be parents…As human beings and parents we are horrified by the contents Epstein files. The men who assaulted children or gave cover to those who did must be removed from power and face justice. We refuse to be numb to this. We demand justice for all of the victims.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

US leads record global surge in gas-fired power driven by AI demands, with big costs for the climate Projects in development expected to grow global capacity by nearly 50% amid growing concern over impact on planet

AI is fueling climate collapse. Are we really going to sacrifice billions for chat bots so so a handful of billionaires can get richer?

Fossil Fuels Failed During Winter Storm Fern Power plant outages in America's largest grid show we can't depend upon fossil fuels

"Winter Storm Fern is the latest proof America’s power grid can’t depend upon fossil fuels for reliable power, especially during extreme winter weather," writes @energyinnovation.org's @silviomarcacci.bsky.social: thepowerline.substack.com/p/fossil-fue... 🔌💡
