Carbon pricing works! "Under Canada's carbon pricing, households were 3 times more responsive to a change of gasoline price from the carbon price than to just fluctions. They expected it to be permanent, so they made bigger changes." - Marc Hafstead #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate @cclusa.org

The rumors of carbon pricing's demise are greatly exaggerated. - Marc Hafstead #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

"How are we going to create a [carbon pricing] policy that's going to create enough constituents to keep that policy from being overturned?" - Marc Hafstead #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

"Within a day of all these letters to the editor and op-eds about the Fix our Forests Act, I was receiving emails from members saying 'We want to talk about this bill.'" - Jen Tyler Grassroots action works! #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

It's really helpful to see this big-picture timeline of CCL's action on permitting reform, and how the individual actions they've asked us to do throughout the past year ladder up into a larger strategy. Thanks Jen Tyler! #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

PLEASE CALL CONGRESS ON MONDAY, JULY 27!! I am in Washington, DC, to talk to Congress about bipartisan climate and energy solutions with Citizens Climate Lobby. Please go to and click on Take Action icon. www.cclusa.org/callcongress #GrassrootsClimate

"Solar tax credits create haves and have-nots. We need an alternative way to bring down the cost. If we matched the cost of solar in Germany and Australia, both of which require union labor, then solar would by less than 8 cents per kWh in this country." -- @jigarshahdc.bsky.social #CCLinDC

Permitting reform is something that everybody wants for their own personal reasons. I think our [clean] technologies are better, and if we have a level playing field, our technologies are going to be the majority of what gets built. - @jigarshahdc.bsky.social @cclusa.org #CCLinDC

"The people who profit from division are counting on us to not see the best in others. Refusing polarizing isn't just being nice; it's a very smart tactic. It can solve climate change faster than the alternative, which is remaining partisan." -- Ricky Bradley #CCLinDC

"Convincing us that we can't overcome partisan politics is part of the playbook. When we feel hopeless and powerless, we're less likely to act. You reject that framing, and I applaud you for that." -- Ricky Bradley #CCLinDC

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

Major #carbonpricing news this month: The EU has "fully implement[ed] a functioning border carbon adjustment policy." In order to trade certain goods with Europe, "importers must now pay for the greenhouse gas emissions contained on their products." www.clearbluemarkets.com/knowledge-ba...

"To use current policy scenarios in order to justify the repeal of current policies (as the EPA is attempting to do) rests on a fundamentally flawed premise. If the world actively repeals climate policies – which the US proposes doing – it would potentially push us to a higher emissions scenario."

I have a new post over at The Climate Brink on how the recent DOE report on climate science and the EPA's proposed overturning of the endangerment finding used and misused my research: www.theclimatebrink....

"Be you. Bring your most beautiful self to these meetings. Bring your CCL values to these meetings. And thank you for standing up for climate." -- @karinaframirez.bsky.social #CCL2025

"There's a sense of urgency here. There is a chance that members will sit on this bill and wait until another catastrophic wildfire hits." - Nyasha (Nya) Osifeso at #CCL2025

Loggers are trained on preserving old-growth forests. There has been some movement to reduce some of those standards, in order to move faster, and this is where we have to keep working with the logger training community to keep those standards in place. - Ann M. Bartuska, Ph.D. #CCL2025

There are some community-based programs where people are taken through a forest to see and really understand the impact of forest management practices. One thing that people enjoy is, under controlled conditions, setting a little prescribed burn themselves. - Ann M. Bartuska, Ph.D. #CCL2025

"The Senate version included a lot more input from community groups and organizations, and it's a stronger bill because of that. That's what got us to a yes." - Nyasha Osifeso of Environmental Defense Fund on #FixOurForestsAct #CCL2025 #GrassrootsClimate

"There are landscapes where 10,000 acres isn't a lot. And there are landscapes where 10,000 is a hell of a lot." - Danielle Watson, on right-sizing projects, and the updates in #FixOurForestsAct to categorial exclusions #CCL2025

"The Senate Bill is a clear improvement over the House bill." - Nyasha (Nya) Osifeso, on the #FixOurForestsAct #CCL2025

"Forests can go up in flames if treatments that are necessary are delayed." -- Nyasha (Nya) Osifeso #CCL2025

New tracking technology lets us analyze a fire in real time and determine within 20 minutes if it's a beneficial fire and we should let it burn, or whether we need to fight it. Fix our Forests Act has funding for that technology. -- Ann M. Bartuska, Ph.D. #CCL2025

Danielle Watson of American Forests is highlighting her colleague Kendall DeLyser's report on the latest science on forestry management bof.fire.ca.gov/media/daimp0.... #CCL2025 #FixOurForestsAct

"Every decision that we make, even decisions to take no action, those are management decisions." -- Danielle Watson on forest management at #CCL2025

Jenn Tyler: Given the influence of the administration, how effective are our conversations with members of Congress? Brandon Farris: Thankfully, President Trump also wants permitting reform. He wants it for oil and gas, but you can't do it without 60 votes in the Senate. #CCL2025

Jenn Tyler: What do you say to Democrats who are worried about permitting reform in this moment? Brandon Farris: I would say, it has to be bipartisan. Make sure your voice is heard. #CCL2025
