The attorney nominated by Eric Adams for NYC's top lawyer position was grilled at his confirmation hearing for his work getting Chevron off the hook for polluting the Amazon rainforest. I spoke with city council members who feel it's a "dealbreaker": exxonknews.org/p/a-dealbreake…

Randy Mastro, Mayor Eric Adams’ pick for top NYC lawyer, played a prominent role in helping Chevron escape liability for a toxic legacy of pollution in Ecuador. Some City Council members say that’s a “dealbreaker” for his nomination. exxonknews.org/p/a-dealbreake…

Gonna take a drink every time they say "climate" at the debate tonight, because I really can't be hungover tomorrow

How can a “climate candidate” be pro-fracking? Its frustrating that so many in the climate movement won’t admit that? It is true that she’s better than him on every climate issue but that, to me, is not the same as being a “climate candidate”. We don’t have a climate candidate.

The Department of Fossil Energy & Carbon Management is centering oil & gas and excluding skeptical voices from their outreach in communities next to proposed CCS and DAC plants. “a CCS PR program under the guise of a community workshop” So much for real conversations.🙄
