There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

We might crowdfund if this is doable. Is it doable?

this is the best reframe i’ve ever seen about calling your politicians

I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices.
I bet you will be too.

Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh?

If you wonder how Germans in the 1930s and 40s couldn't see what was going on around them, AND you think the insurrection wasn't violent and seditious, YOU are the answer.

I don’t think there is evidence to support that claim. And whales certainly aren’t dying in those Iowa corn and soy fields.

Iowa, for one example, now gets more than 60% of its electricity from wind. It’s true that environmental damage occurs from the production of those windmills, but once they’re up and running, nothing needs to be extracted to keep them powering the grid. Your reasoning is flawed.
