Thousand-year-old glaciers are melting away in the Himalayas. Hundred-year storms are becoming routine. The realities of climate change are undeniable. When will Congress finally acknowledge the devastation and do something about it?

Michael E. Mann@michaelemann.bsky.social · 2w agoIn #ScienceUnderSiege, my co-author @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I emphasize that legacy outlets like the @nytimes.com are a big part of the problem. Actual statement by editorial board in today's paper: www.nytimes.com/interactive/... could have been written by a fossil fuel industry PR flack:
Nepal's contribution to cumulative anthropogenic GHG emissions is virtually zero; the US accounts for a quarter with just 5% of the world's population.

Trump and his fossil fuel cronies are making millions from his illegal war of choice while families get tipped upside down at the pump and grocery story. This why we need to ban stock trading for Trump and members of Congress. Trump + Big Oil = One Big Criminal Enterprise

A look at what’s possible for thermal energy networks. BDC’s Yami Newell joined Illinois leaders in Vancouver, Canada, to explore projects using geothermal, waste heat, and sewage heat to connect buildings to shared energy systems. #BuildingDecarb #EnergySky #TENs

For people with asthma, the appliances in their kitchen can shape how they breathe at home. A first-of-its-kind study found fewer symptoms, ER visits & missed work/school days after participants replaced gas stoves with induction. www.cleveland.com/news/2026/07...
Gas stoves unhealthy for some asthma sufferers, Cleveland study suggests
The study was conducted by MetroHealth and Case Western Reserve University.

Thermal energy networks allow gas utilities to use workers, pipes & planning to deliver clean heating + cooling. Their cost recovery & regulation may require novel utility models that MA is exploring. @nysdps.bsky.social, please take note. h/t @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/geo...
As geothermal networks grow, so does the call for a new utility model
A bill in Massachusetts would create a framework for a geothermal utility, with the aim of heating and cooling buildings cleanly and affordably.

It's no surprise that @governor.ny.gov's poll numbers are sinking since she proposed dismantling New York's climate law to boost the fracked gas and oil industry. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social & @leaderasc.bsky.social shouldn't let her. news.gallup.com/poll/708050/...
Climate Change Concern Near Its High Point in U.S.
The 44% of U.S. adults who currently worry "a great deal" about climate change or global warming is near its 46% high point from 2020.

NY's @governor.ny.gov is trying to change the more scientifically robust greenhouse gas accounting to a version that distorts policy & investment decisions in favor of fossil gas. Incredibly short-sighted when CH4 is a key control for slowing atmospheric warming. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...
Commentary: New York must not cook the books on methane
A NYSERDA memo claims the Climate Act's greenhouse gas accounting method is out of line with scientific consensus. More than 60 scientists have sent Gov. Hochul a letter refuting that assertion.

NY's @governor.ny.gov is attempting to dismantle the state's climate law through the budget process. The administration’s stated rationale is untenable, its tactics are dubious, and if it succeeds even partially, the results will ultimately harm New York. www.syracuse.com/opinion/2026...

"This accounting change is not a scientific correction. It is a policy retreat disguised in scientific language. It would undercount New York’s climate pollution and allow the continued expansion of fracked gas infrastructure." 🎯💯
