Climate change DEFINITELY affects hurricane:

STRENGTH: Warmer water is hurricane food

RAINFALL: Warm air holds more water vapor

SURGE: Warmer water expands, warmer ice melts, sea levels rise

PREDICTION: hotter seas mean faster intensification

Charlie Kirk's extremism was fossil fueled Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today.

Charlie Kirk was no exception.

I used to read all sorts of ads on my Dead Pilots Society podcast and I stopped because it started to feel icky. I really don’t miss the $47 a month or whatever measly amount it brought in. My dignity is worth more for sure.

The EPA is required to protect the American people from dangerous pollution. Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin are abandoning this mission.

We will use every legal means available to challenge it. We'll see the Trump administration in court.

Today, the Trump admin announced its decision to repeal the endangerment finding – the single most important provision authorizing the US government to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions and fight climate change. This unprecedented decision is reckless, detached from reality, and will cost lives.

Court Upholds Landmark Rule to Electrify Water Heaters & Boilers Southern California standard is nation’s first to electrify industrial boilers, cutting smog-forming pollution by a staggering 5.6 tons per day

GOOD NEWS: Southern California's landmark rule to electrify industrial water heaters and boilers was upheld in federal court! Big win for 17 million Californians in the Los Angeles area breathing dirty air.

Grant Park in downtown Los Angeles, full of union members peacefully singing and talking and carrying their signs.

For those who live elsewhere, this is the heart of downtown #LosAngeles. My friends are here. My union is here (sup @wgawest.bsky.social). My teenager is here. People are passing out pastries & singing & praying. All we want is for our neighbors not to be kidnapped off the streets.

#AQMDChatter - this feels like a December 2015 moment at South Coast AQMD. The fossil fuel industry overplayed their hand and those who actually care about health were able to achieve even greater things. On Monday, we get back to work. Board members that voted “no” will understand we don’t give up.

#AQMDChatter - heading into the summer break, the AQMD Board has adopted zero consequential emission reducing rules this year. Today, the Board could have saved 2,490 lives, but chose not to. I think breathers should head there in August and ask the Board’s what’s up.

Where We Go from Here on States’ Zero-Emissions Cars and Trucks Progress Republican Senators won a temporary delay in our shift to zero-emissions using an unlawful maneuver, but states should be emboldened to quickly shape new tools to clean their air My first boss after l...

Know anyone in Los Angeles? Tell them to join us Sunday to say 🖕 to Musk and a bunch of Trump billionaires at their fancy-pants conference. We're laying a marker: if you invite Elon to your event, we'll be there too 🤘 #teslatakedown

🚨BREAKING: The California Coastal Commission just issued a $18M fine on Sable Offshore Corp. to restore the coastal environment from damage caused by illegal pipeline construction work in Santa Barbara. This is the kind of climate leadership we need!

Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

We're suing. Earthjustice is representing Inflation Reduction Act grant recipients & holding the Trump administration accountable for illegally freezing funds that were meant to benefit communities.

How Trump Has Undermined U.S. Climate Policy President Trump has quickly transformed America’s approach to the environment, withholding funds and stretching the limits of presidential power.

Front page of today's NYT:

"This is not the kind of stately tennis match of the usual switch-over in administrations. This is full on Fight Club," said @abbiedillen.bsky.social, President of Earthjustice, on the Trump admini's blitz on environmental regulations.

Earthjustice is fighting back.

How Trump Has Undermined U.S. Climate Policy President Trump has quickly transformed America’s approach to the environment, withholding funds and stretching the limits of presidential power.

In a few short weeks, President Trump has severely damaged the government’s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

What will it take to make progress on the environmental crisis now? Ask the team of lawyers who sued Trump in his first term.

“Everything needs to have an offensive dimension,” says Abigail Dillen, president of our longtime environmental partner,

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Trump wasted over 5 BILLION GALLONS of reservoir water that was meant for California's summer citrus-growing season. None of that wasted water reached L.A., where the fires, by the way, were already under control (and had nothing to do with water shortages). This was no mistake. This was SABOTAGE.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Dow futures drop 500 points after Trump hits Canada, Mexico and China with tariffs: Live updates Stock futures tumbled Sunday night to kick off a new trading month as investors weighed new U.S. tariffs on goods from key trade partners.

Stock market futures way off due to Trump's reckless tariffs. We are entering a very dangerous period for the US and the world.

Russian-backed Trump/Musk now attacking:
- The US government itself
- Our economy and the American people
- Our most important allies, destroying alliances
- The developing world thru illegal gutting of USAID
Our reputation is being destroyed, along w/our economy, alliances and our government.

January 2025 was quite unexpectedly the warmest January on record at 1.75C above preindustrial, beating the prior record set in 2024.

This is despite the presence of La Niña conditions in the tropical Pacific, with the El Niño event of 2023/2024 long faded. www.theclimatebrink....

Acting on Trump's order, federal officials opened up two California dams The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.

Dear California farmers and Congressional representatives:
Trump has just literally thrown millions of gallons of #water away that farmers were counting on this summer, purely to brag that he could.
That #cawater cannot be captured or used now by anyone.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
