The scientific understanding of human-driven climate change is much stronger today than it was in 2009 when the EPA first issued the endangerment finding. There is no scientific basis for the Trump administration's decision to repeal it

Thanks so much Wall Street Journal for the free advertisement for The #NewClimateWar (bookshop.org/p/books/the-...), my book in which you play a starring role. I suspect @naomioreskes.bsky.social is thankful for you mentioning her book too! 😃

Africa's solar additions in 2025 jumped 54% to 4.5 GW.
Africa likely adds ~6.9GW of solar in 2026 and ~31GW by 2029.
Africa's solar capacity likely exceeds its coal capacity of ~52GW.
Africa's hydro is ~47GW.
Solar attacks energy poverty.

Solar and batteries are cheap enough that most people can get most of their electricity from them, and save money. This equation gets better and better over time as their costs decline.

It never used to be possible to attribute individual weather events to climate change and map their full consequences. Thanks to the work of two pioneering climate scientists, it is now

I’ve been a ranked choice proponent for a long time.
You imply Malinowski and Sherrill love mass murder: Shame on you.
And I hope Mejia does great. But she got 30% of the Dem primary voters. It’s a little too soon to gloat.

"But what about China?" has been a throwaway comment made many times to justify inaction on climate change or criticise decarbonisation policies.
Well China is now by far the world's largest manufacturer, installer, and user of clean energy technologies.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and prosecute political opponents while he threatens to take over elections, Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

P.S. I don’t think Mejia is a particularly good fit for NJ11 overall. And I’d hate to see Hathaway win the general.

Fascinating! A bit strange that the legal contortions push this far -- why can't farmers just use their land to produce what they want to produce -- but here we are!
If solar is the “strangest crop,” should it be covered by right-to-farm laws? A 2021 review of policy in all 50 states shows that it is potentially covered but not with strong enough language to give agricultural land owners or solar developers certainty. closup.umich.edu/sites/closup...

A new permitting bill, the "FREEDOM Act", would stop the ongoing abuse against offshore wind & renewables.
FREEDOM creates permitting certainty by setting guardrails on each stage of agency abuse and backs the reform with strong remedies (fines, damages, contractors).
