Genuinely (pleasantly) surprised to see this...with thanks to so many for their dogged pressure.

Really sad news about a tenacious climate advocate, blogger, and communicator. His Climate Progress blog was truly must-read content for year. Joe was truly one of a kind and will be missed by many. May his memory be a blessing.

I'm not in his district here in Portland, but I just want to say - @mitchgreen.bsky.social is one of the more thoughtful, curious, creative, and genuinely principled politicians I've ever met. If I were in his district I'd be voting to reelect him with bells on.

The rule they are overturning was predicted to give $120 billion in public health benefits by 2047, with projections that by 2035, it would would prevent up to 1,200 premature deaths, 870 hospital and emergency room visits, 360K asthma attacks, 48K school absence days and 57K lost workdays each year

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Started drafting a thread about 9/11 and...I just don't know. My story's not unique. My thoughts scattered. My sadness is vague and wandering. We lost innocence that day, maybe forever? We lost truth in the months that followed. What lessons have we learned? I'm not so sure.

Imagine being upset about a convenient feature that allows you to leave your keys in your pocket and not worry about locking them in the car. Then imagine you've confused this feature for another that saves money at lights by disabling your engine temporarily. This is how stupid Sean Duffy is.

David Turnbull @dturnbull.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

This is multiple levels of dumb. First, Zeldin didn't get rid of the stop/start button, so Duffy is showing he doesn't know what he's talking about. Zeldin the "autostop" feature which stops an ICE engine when at stoplights and similar moments. Second, getting rid of the "autostop" feature is dumb.

A Trump official diverted firefighting resources to a fire on his private ranch. He got 9 aircraft for the 7-acre fire while the 90,000 acre Grasshopper fire in Oregon got about the same. These guys kneecapped wildfire prevention and now they’re diverting what few resources remain for personal gain.

Proof we got RFK lying on the record during his confirmation hearing (a crime). RFK should be referred to the DOJ for criminal investigation, and when Democrats retake the Senate, he will be at the top of the list of Trump officials I will hold accountable for endangering American families.

There are so few things in this world, and particularly in this country, that feel like that are just genuinely, purely good. There's always a catch, always a caveat. But Dolly Parton was one of the few that was just, purely, good.

This tracks. When we bought our Portland home in 2018, my wife who grew up here was unconcerned about a/c. Afterall, growing up here her family home didn't have it. Turns out, we need it and we're glad our home has it. Even 8 years ago it was a new selling point. Now...basically a necessity.

It's a Bluesky post so one must not blame him for the simplicity...but the question to answer is a lot more complex than just "where are the pro-clean-energy influencers?" Or, at the very least, it's a "Yes, and" from me anyways. Either way, the Heated article is long, but a must-read.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Thankfully we aren't (yet) dealing with extensive smoke here in the PNW, although given the winter we had it feels like it's only a matter of time. Sending solidarity to those across the country waking up to yet another day of orange skies and claustrophobic feelings.

Joining the chorus lamenting the demise of @eenews.bsky.social at the hands of Politico. The ClimateWire/GreenWire/EnergyWire/AM/PM newsletters were all fundamental to following climate policy in DC early in my career. E&E's current & alumni reporters are truly tough to beat. Sad to see it go.
