Infrastructure bill

Truly, things will only get worse.

Many effects of global warming are already "locked in." The UN's IPCC report says some changes are now "irreversible" for at least centuries: ▪️ Sea levels to rise 6-12 inches by 2050. ▪️ Heat waves 5x more frequent. ▪️ Greenland ice sheet "virtually certain" to keep melting.

For IPCC day, here’s how to get your Member of Congress onto Green New Deal bills (from a Congressional climate staffer) (1/4)

This seems like a good time to remind folks that the modeling done around the last climate half-measure we nearly passed (Waxman-Markey, aka Cap and Trade) showed that it’s most ambitious implementation would have still left us with 4+ degrees of warming.

Oh yes. This is new social housing in Paris. (The one w the lights one.) Deets in the thread. As @holz_bau puts it: “This is what climate action looks like.”

Sending all of the praise to Sarah Fitz, Pamela Conrad, Madeline Kirschner, and Chingwen Chen for assembling American Society of Landscape Architects’s excellent new climate advocacy guide. asla.org/uploadedFiles/…

The US spends more on police than all but 2 countries in the world do on their military. And one of those is the US, which spends more on its military than the next 10 top countries combined. We spend $100,000,000 an *hour* to police the world, including ourselves.

Sometimes I think about how different we'd be if we didn't have to spend all that fucking emotional energy so many days of our lives

Hey guys, wherever the news cycle goes, these next couple months are likely our first and best shot to pass climate legislation in time. It’s brutal and covid sucks but let’s stick together and let’s fucking win. Please don’t give up. So many are counting on us. We can do this.

Seems like if fossil fuels drive the climate crisis, fund wars, tear through Indigenous lands, endanger Black lives, blow up, are priced By OPEC, pollute oceans, cost more than renewables, cause earthquakes, and are in limited supply, maybe they don’t do much for energy security

We did vote, assholes. Do your jobs.

As it turns out, the moral arc of the universe only bends toward justice if massive amounts of everyday people decide to yank it in that direction

I urge you to read every single tweet in this thread

Tell me again why it’s unserious for leftists to propose nationalizing energy companies. It’s only the two biggest economies in Europe that are doing it.

This rules

I remember how folks stepped up to help Texans when you left them cold and hungry during the freeze. We will welcome these families too. They have so much to offer. You do seem to be struggling at your job, though. Maybe you should consider if this is the right work for you.

It's quite something that the world's top scientists put out a synthesis report that essentially says civilization as we know it will end unless the world comes together to stop rapidly expanding the fossil fuel industry but to instead rapidly end it, and almost no one cares
