I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

It’s called “Your Guide to Climate Action” and early readers are LOVING it

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

I'm glad so many people showed up to protest on June 14th. I wanted to suggest one thing motivated people can do that will help with the long term structural changes we need: If you have fossil fueled equipment that is approaching the end of its life, replace it with an electric version.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

A quick poem for No Kings Day:

He's mean, he's a bully - as corrupt as they come
He says he's a genius (though we all know he’s dumb)
But power he got, cause the system is broke
It no longer works, for regular folk

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Hey climate scientists - question for ya!

Is it fair to say that the planet's temperature has risen by 1.5C since the industrial revolution?

Saying 1.5 feels more accurate than the typical ~1.3 that people say, given where we're at right now/the trends/chances of dipping below 1.5 again.
April 8, 2025 at 3:53 PM
Climate science question! (will help w a book)

We crossed 1.5C for the first time on an annual basis in the last year or two

What's the lowest temperature expected over the next decade? (range? best guess)

Will we dip below 1.5 again? If so by how much? And ~how many more times?

Just 200 Americans regulate 1% of U.S. GDP.

They are the state-level public utility commissioners, and they will be crucial over the next 4 years. We spoke with @charlesxhua.bsky.social about who they are, what they want and why YOU should talk with them: heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

@climatehuman.bsky.social - question for ya (for a climate action book I'm writing)

Is *reversing* global heating possible this century?

I've heard you say that the heating we cause is irreversible for thousands of years. I've heard others (e.g. Michael Mann) say that..

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky
