Youth in Lighthiser v. Trump are fighting to stop harmful fossil fuel executive orders and protect their rights. The Constitution must protect their lives before it protects corporate profits. I stand in solidarity with these young leaders. @youthvgov.bsky.social bit.ly/lvt-decisionpr

Key takeaways from the NY Climate Summit from MSCI. The energy transition is not slowing because it makes economic sense! #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis

Capital is driving (or chasing?) the transition: Markets are stepping in, differentiating winners and losers as the shift from fossil fuels to renewables gains ground where the economics already work.
Physical risk is here now: Extreme weather is already costing companies billions, pushing investors to apply geospatial analytics and assess exposures at the asset level before risks cascade into systemic shocks.
Carbon markets are maturing: International trading frameworks are emerging, with integrity and cooperation key to unlocking private capital — and likely to dominate discussions heading into COP30.

If you want climate facts, not the latest political fictions, here's where to get them: heated.world/p/trump-deli... @emorwee.bsky.social

Trump delivers dumbest climate speech of all time

The president's easily-debunked 10-minute climate tirade at the U.N. was so stupid and unoriginal, it was actually kind of funny.

Read every word of this.

Millions of Californians can now be profiled by the color of their skin and the language they speak, thanks to the Supreme Court.

This is not the slippery slope. We are already on the slide towards dictatorship.

Can America thrive in an economy without fossil fuels? Of course!

Life without fossil fuels looks inviting. It also looks desirable for pocketbooks.
