Why is Trump making so many concessions to Russia now? I think it's three things. #HighStakes

As the network's climate coverage greatly decreased under Weiss, CBS also aired segments discounting scientific warnings and downplaying consequences of federal climate policy.

Always, always, always with these guys it’s the thing that benefits Russia. Trump/Russia, anyone?

If you need a refresher about the issues involved in release of Vol. 2 of Jack Smith’s report, you’re not alone. The case was briefed months ago, but has been sitting on the court’s docket waiting for oral argument. I wrote about it back then: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-pas...

Basic truths as we head into Climate Week: 1. Trumpsters lie and fossil fuel corrupts. 2. Free-to-pollute is lethal to climate safety. 3. The CBAM is vital to safety.

We made the mistake of accepting “ambitions” instead of actions (like making polluters pay as they should) and we’re now paying the price for that. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/u...

A district court ruled that the Trump administration must reinstate a $7 billion grant program that funded solar panel installation for low- and moderate-income families.

“The United States will no longer limit the planet-warming pollution that power plants pump into the air while burning coal and gas” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/c...

Eeeew. Do their positions come with kneepads? Maybe gilded ones? Trumpsters all have to be uber-macho, until it comes to Putin. Then it’s submission. Too creepy. One day we’ll know what Trump/Russia was.

I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

You get energy affordability by getting off fossil fuel. Clean energy is least expensive on the grid. Clean energy has less “negative externalities” (pollution). Get enough clean energy and you get free electricity periods of the day. Our offshore is 9 cents/kwh in 18-cent grid.

Want to take a look yourself? Here are websites that show satellite imagery of U.S. methane leakers. ⬇️ data.carbonmapper.org#1/30.8/50.5

It matters when huge methane leakers get busted by satellites. Of course Republicans in Congress went out of their way (changed Senate rules!) to protect our worst methane leakers (aka their stinky fossil fuel donors). www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This administration continues to show its disregard for protecting free expression. After 17 years of teaching science at West Point, Dr. Adam Kalkstein was ordered to cut information about the human causes of climate change, according to a new lawsuit filed against the U.S. Military Academy.

🧵THREAD - 1🧵 New York Times reports "hundreds of millions of gallons" of #fracking wastewater bubbling up in Marietta Ohio: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/29/c... @justinmikulka.bsky.social predicted this in 2014: powering-the-planet.ghost.io/injection-we...

Nordea, the largest Nordic bank, figured out that they don’t want to tank their business by investing in LNG: reclaimfinance.org/site/en/2026... Surprise, we've been saying this for years with @justinmikulka.bsky.social: powering-the-planet.ghost.io/the-simple-m... When will other banks wise up?

"We are given only a limited number of truly perfect summer days in our time on Earth. One of the more insidious cruelties of fossil fuel greed is how it slowly strips those days from us... perhaps without us even realizing what we have lost." heated.world/p/another-su... @emorwee.bsky.social

New ocean temperature record set as fossil fuel keeps dumping zettajoules (look it up — big-ass number!) of excess heat into the ocean every year. “Nothing to see here,” say the polluters. They lie. marine.copernicus.eu/press/press-...

"Including emissions from the energy sector ​and from gas flaring and methane, global emissions rose by 1.1% to ⁠41 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent. The U.S. accounted for 36% of that increase, with ​total emissions growth of 3.2% year-on-year, compared with 0.3% in China."

“I don’t know if they actually believe that they’re fueling the world or doing anything good. The reality on the ground is they’re devastating a community.” — James Hiatt, For a Better Bayou New investigation into Venture Global's LNG.

This is a devastating photo. That woman in Nigeria is being exposed to high levels of toxins that increase cancer and heart disease risks and can give you plenty of issues in the meantime.

The orange Dear Leader can’t abide that he blew it (blue it?) at the Reflecting Pool, so he invented a fake “vandalism” narrative, and now Park Police are having to arrest harmless tourists to puff up the phony narrative, Soviet-style.

Just like we recently saw at LNG Canada, and Golden Pass LNG in TX, and what we've seen at all of the LNG facilities we have visited, clouds of emissions coming from Freeport LNG in Texas yesterday. @txsharon.bsky.social was in Freeport yesterday sharing our research on this terminal.

“I asked him if he would come back out and test it to make sure it’s safe before I bring my dogs home. He said that wouldn’t be necessary. I’m not sure I understand that,” Chirozzi explained. The oil and gas industry operates with reckless disregard for human health, the environment and climate.

Hilarious piece! Hilarious piece about a new MIT study of health and environmental impact of EVs versus internal combustion engine autos. The mockery of those spreading misinformation or lies about EVs is well deserved. www.jalopnik.com/2195847/mit-... #energysky

This is what it looks and sounds like at the Colossus data center. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSWg...

Anthropic, Google and Cursor agree to pay Elon Musk money to operate polluting gas turbines near Memphis neighborhoods to power their AI efforts.

If you know how oil industry self-reporting works, this is a deal breaker. "Applicants would also have to demonstrate through a self-reported technical report that their projects protect groundwater resources and drinking water supplies."

We have a President who is petrified of the truth getting out about his long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. Many questions remain. 🧵

Rhode Islanders know the therapeutic feeling of being out on the water. Great to see Gnome Surf Therapy helping more people experience that for themselves. Bravo!

@Reuters.com has published a database intended to help audiences and the wire’s journalists understand how climate change is impacting global temperatures anywhere in the world, on a daily basis. Check it out!

We have blindly accepted air pollution from fossil fuels and toxic exposure from pesticides. Even though the risks are real and they are known.

“It’s simply too expensive,” said Guerrero, an independent advisor who previously worked for Schlumberger, Chevron and Hess Corporation. “Unfortunately there’s too many companies in the industry that are not going to do the right thing until they’re forced to.”

Gaslit will be in selected theaters soon. @txsharon.bsky.social is featured in this documentary and this new trailer.

All of the oil states are having their own toxic crises. Seems to be an industry trait no matter what the local regulations require. Many involve water contamination. The industry has nowhere to put all of their toxic waste water without causing big problems. Oklahoma version.

Dustbowl 2.0.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Corrupt fossil fuel industry got Senate to gut the methane fee that would have made this happen. www.wsj.com/opinion/natu...

When I called the O&G industry a mafia, Range Resources threatened me with defamation in a deposition. 🤷‍♀️ It's okay when they call themselves a mafia. That's just telling the truth.

Have you watched "This Is Not A Drill?" "...a brilliant film, about some of the most inspiring activists at work in America today, people I've seen up close taking on and winning impossible fights. Now you can see them too and sense how it's done." - @billmckibben.bsky.social

Shot/chaser. Trump/Russia.

If anyone tells you we shouldn’t fight Big Oil on climate change, ignore them!

Sharon took this film crew out in the Permian to explain to them why we burn and release so much methane. They correctly call her a "badass" And by our count, they only had to bleep out her word choices one time.

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Not much mercury likely where the creepy fossil-fuel billionaires live... they’re cool taking the profits and poisoning other people's kids.
