Covering Climate Now@coveringclimatenow.org · 3d ago

@emorwee.bsky.social talks with Future Earth Catalog about why she left mainstream journalism to write authentically about climate, fossil fuel advertising, the right-wing billionaire takeover of US media, and finding joy in individual climate action:

Emily Atkin Is Not an Optimist

The founder of HEATED on fossil fuel advertising, billionaires taking over media, and what removing plastic from her life is teaching her about systems change.

While Big Oil makes billions from fueling climate change, U.S. communities are paying billions to recover from its impacts. In the first half of 2026 alone, the U.S. experienced 12 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters. There must be accountability NOW.

🚨 NYDN: @senatorharckham.bsky.social Sen. Liz Krueger, and Sen. Kevin Parker stand up for NY's climate commitments and put @governor.ny.gov on blast. The climate law isn't making energy prices spike — that would be the fossil-fueled status quo. www.nydailynews.com/2026/03/12/k...

Keep N.Y.’s climate law; it is working

The price of natural gas is skyrocketing, something that New Yorkers getting their home heating and electric bills after this winter’s cold snap know all too well. Unaffordable rate hikes have been…

👀 New letter from 29 NYS Senators (>2/3 of the Dem caucus) to Hochul this morning: “We categorically oppose any effort to rollback New York’s nation-leading climate law… and urge you to stand strong in the face of misinformation that seeks to blame the CLCPA for the energy affordability crisis”

March 5, 2026 The Honorable Kathy Hochul Governor of New York State NY State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Re: Upholding New York’s Leadership in the Fight Against Climate Change Dear Governor Hochul, At a time when the Trump Administration is doing everything possible to tear down decades of progress in the fight against climate change, it is incumbent on states like New York to reject this new wave of climate denial and put forward bold policies that will save New Yorkers money, reduce pollution, and protect a livable climate for our constituents and our children and grandchildren. That is why we, the undersigned senators, categorically oppose any effort to rollback New York’s nation-leading climate law, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, and urge you to stand strong in the face of misinformation that seeks to blame the CLCPA for the energy affordability crisis that fossil fuels have created. Climate change remains one of the greatest threats that our constituents - and societies across the globe - have ever faced. New Yorkers are already living through extreme weather events that run the gamut from searing heat waves to Arctic cold snaps, and they are already paying the price1, with their dollars, their homes, their health, and even their lives. The climate crisis is driving up the cost of home insurance, of health care, of groceries, and of countless other daily necessities2, and every delay in taking action will only drive those costs even higher. Confronting this crisis is a generational task and a legacy issue for every elected official, and it is inseparable from any credible effort to address the high cost of living. At the same time, there is no question that we must address energy affordability, capacity, and reliability. But while President Trump and the fossil fuel industry want New Yorkers to believe that we must choose between those needs and climate action, nothing could be further from the truth. The recent three-page memo from…not include any price guardrails, with a completely unrealistic carbon price34. As such, the analysis simply cannot be treated as a serious contribution to the debate. In reality, rolling back the CLCPA will not save our constituents money because it is not the cause of increasing costs. It is the fossil fuel status quo56 that has created the affordability crisis New Yorkers are now suffering from, and it is bold action to deliver renewable energy and energy efficiency that will give them relief, saving money for individuals in the immediate-term and for all utility customers in the medium- and long-term7. When it comes to energy generation capacity, renewables can be deployed cheaply and quickly to meet our needs8. And over the last year, through heat waves and polar vortexes9, renewables have proven that they add much-needed reliability10 to the grid, reducing price spikes in the process, like those driven by wars in Europe and the Middle East. Between us we carry significant legislation on a broad number of policies large and small that will reduce New Yorkers’ costs and move us toward our science-based climate targets. We stand ready to work with you and your administration to implement comprehensive climate policies that truly meet the needs of this moment – but we cannot support abandoning our commitment to climate progress.

Stop the wealth hoarding. Billionaires should not exist. Trump is working with Musk - who is “worth” 380 billion dollars - to shut down jobs and take money from the poor and middle class and give it to the rich. If it sounds unbelievable and evil, it is.
