Insurance companies like State Farm profit by making the problem worse (underwriting multi-billion-dollar fossil fuel projects) and refusing to pay out after disaster strikes. It's time to #InsureOurCommunities. Not fossil fuels. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/califor...

LA County files lawsuit against State Farm over January 2025 wildfires

The county alleges in its legal action against State Farm that the insurer engaged in unfair business practices after the January 2025 wildfires in Altadena and Pacific Palisades.

Last night at 11:29 p.m., California just barely passed a law making it easier for farmers in drought-stressed regions to convert their land to solar projects. Big win for climate! It should not have been so hard. My behind-the-scenes story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/chaos-energy

Will California build solar on drought-stressed farmland? A late-summer nail-biter in Sacramento.

In honor of the new UN climate report, which spreads the entirely unsubstantiated myth that we can remove and sequester enough carbon from the atmosphere to cool the whole planet down again, here’s a paper that looks empirically at one component of this myth. And it’s not pretty. #EndFossilFuels

A geologist and a systems engineer walk in to a bar... ...and start arguing about whether we can actually pump enough CO2 underground to hit net zero. That's more or less how this paper got started with @hdaigle.bsky.social. Read on to find more: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

During the last decade, an average of 8 in every 10 U.S. coastal flood days were due to human-caused sea level rise. These floods put coastal communities, economies, and ecosystems at increasing risk. bit.ly/4it3Znv #climatematters via @climatecentral.org

Analysis finds that human-caused sea level rise is driving a surge in coastal flooding across the U.S., putting coastal communities, economies, and ecosystems at risk.

Truly, I don’t understand why corporate democrats like Newsom have multiple personality disorder even on climate-pollution reducing programs that also cut energy bills. You’d think this program would be a no-brainer given rising energy bills, but the gov isn’t backing it. 🙄😬

Trump's donor just got $900 million of our tax dollars in his latest scheme to cancel offshore wind projects & boost fossil fuels “Even by MAGA standards, this seems exceptionally dodgy.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

How wind projects got replaced by a $900 million payday to a Trump donor’s firm

The Trump administration’s latest deal to abandon an offshore wind project and redirect investment into fossil fuels stands to deliver a windfall to one of President Donald Trump’s major donors.

This story reports the Mamdani admin will study the impact. Yet they won’t learn much by delay. Each day, progress is lost as landlords defer energy efficiency work. Mamdani should fulfill the public interest stance he promised, not continue REBNY’s wins under Adams. therealdeal.com/policy-pro/n...

The NYC pension funds are worth ~$300 billion – the largest in the country. Currently, NYC invests ~$50 billion with BlackRock. NYC’s Comptroller, Mark Levine, has announced a search for new asset managers for the pension funds, with “limits on carbon” among the factors he’s considering.

HUGE NEWS: Superpolluting firm BlackRock just lost ANOTHER $525 million in Dutch pension funds due to concerns over its funding of coal, oil, and gas. This is a massive win for Dutch pensioners – not to mention all living creatures on Earth. 🧵

Here’s a cool example of a large residential building reducing energy waste and pollution to comply with Local Law 97: ✅ good jobs ✅ lower energy bills ✅ less pollution The real estate lobby keeps trying to kill it, but local law 97 is delivering🎉 currently.att.yahoo.com/att/avoid-yo...

The thing that’s weird about this political stance is that the job on climate change is pretty darn clear: scream from the mountaintops that we’re way behind. “Winning slowly” = losing because there’s no do-over.

Higher wholesale prices are highly likely to lead to higher prices. The cost of gas is the biggest factor to consumers. This is likely to be unevenly distributed regionally & between sectors. Residential users typically pay more. oilchange.org/publications... Click in the article to read the PDF.

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.
