What's it going to be? 💩or 🫂?

“People were reaching out asking me about what CO2 is,” Ozane said. But as a mom of six children, she was also scared and confused. “We know that this is colorless and odorless, so I just kept my children inside and made sure they were OK,” said Ozane. exxonknews.org/p/big-oils-fig…

Hi friends 🌱— live chat about plastics TOMORROW — w/ Food & Water Watch — details below. #PlasticPollution #PlasticsTreaty cc SEHN #envhist

Short version: I’ve spent the last two years traveling the American West for Los Angeles Times. I’ve seen firsthand that if we don’t embrace change now, while we still have a choice, far worse changes will kill us later.

The world’s coral reefs are in really bad shape right now.

We spoke to a top coral scientist about how to fix it — and contrary to what you may have read elsewhere, she said the answer is not “super corals” heated.world/p/the-only-way…

Lots of reports that Carl E. Heastie is attempting to kill #NYHEAT in budget negotiations. If you're wondering why he's standing with polluters over NYers and a majority of the Assembly, you're not alone.

Oil and gas companies are the 45Q tax credit’s biggest boosters but there’s almost no verification or accountability that recipients are actually capturing and storing carbon to reduce emissions.
