For years, some big polluters were allowed to estimate their own emissions.

Now, the intrepid @lisalsong.bsky.social has found emissions at facilities were far higher than their estimates.

Terrifying reporting w/ incredible pics from @annie-flanagan.bsky.social that make me feel like I'm choking:
Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated
The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

I'll give it to the fossil fuel companies, they know how to force their way into every inch of cultural life. Watching the #LSU game and I can't stop rolling my eyes at the massive Venture Global at the 25 yard line. It's bigger than the SEC logo!

Yes, on-field ads have made it to Tiger Stadium. Here's why LSU sold its 25-yard lines.

“We found significant contamination,” Stolz said. “Essentially half of the people in our study had bad water.” Two of the wells registered “explosive levels of methane,” he said. “The homeowners had no clue it was that bad.”

The findings “suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less ‘empathy’ towards Black and Asian ones.”

For those gearing up for NYC Climate Week, consider that not all #decarbonization pathways are created equal. The fossil fuel lobby is not acting in good faith. No more sacrifice zones.

Know ideas not by their friends, but by their funders.

The Kochs are historically the main funders of US climate denial and fossil-fuel propaganda.

Now they're funding Abundance.

Do you really think Charles Koch believes the Abundance agenda will hurt fossil fuels?

Stand Together, founded by Charles Koch? Well, it's sponsoring the Abundance 2025 conference this September.

Guess who's speaking there!

It's. Right. In. Front. Of. Us. In. The. Open.
