Sean Casten13. That’s usually a metaphor, conflating the horrors of war with the much lower-stakes lives that most of us are fortunate enough to lead. But today, the entire @HouseGOP@twitter told us - both literally and metaphorically - that they don’t give a damn about the rest of the unit. /fin
Gernot WagnerOne of the most consequential climate decisions is playing out at...the IRS.
The IRA includes generous, uncapped clean hydrogen tax credits: 45V.
Done right, these $100s of billions in tax credits could be the biggest boon for the U.S. hydrogen industry and for clean electricity ever.
Done wrong, they could be a boondoggle larger than corn ethanol, driving emissions up, not down.

CelloMom On Cars"A group of European nations wanted the report to say that solar and wind electricity “is now cheaper than energy from fossil fuels in many regions”.
Saudi Arabia “strongly opposed inclusion of the sentence”.
The Bahamas’ representative called for the report to say specifically that #CCS technology, unlike wind and solar, is not getting cheaper.
But Saudi Arabia pushed back, saying that CCS and #CDR are “in fact unavoidable”. "

I spoke to journalist Sean Mowbray about important #myths about #ClimateChange to debunk. Among them are:
1. Climate change is not due to humans.
2. Climage change is a problem for future generations.
3. There's nothing we can do about climate change.
The most important things we can do now, which didn't make it in the article, are to stop burning #FossilFuels and start adapting for a 3°C future.

Tom RafteryBREAKING: NYT reports a Supreme Court "charity" took $190,000 in secret donations from @[email protected] when the company had cases (including Ecuador) pending before the justices. Other corporations also donated.
Horrifying. Why are these conflicts allowed?⤵️

Amy WesterveltImportant info already gleaned from this investigation includes: -evidence that yes, fossil fuel companies donate to universities to shape the narrative and the research agenda and to get a window into what environmentalists are talking about.
- details of the industry's manipulation of media
- evidence that it is knowingly pushing false solutions, trying to lock them in to extend the life of fossil fuels
Seems like a giant waste of money and time not to finish the investigation

The right-wing groups behind renewable energy misinformation
Across the country, NIMBY groups are organizing to block solar, wind, and other clean-energy projects, and to pass state laws restricting renewable energy development. Journalist Michael Thomas took a deep dive into the right-wing billionaires & think tanks behind these community groups. We discuss what he found.
