200+ families just marched to @governor.ny.gov’s office to condemn her cowardly, shameful decision to sell out our kids futures to appease Donald Trump and approve the Williams pipeline. We aren’t backing down and we WILL hold her accountable.

There was a hint in 2024 that China's Carbon emissions had peaked due to their massive roll out of renewables, which continues. Now the data from the first half of 2025 confirms that CO2 emissions in China are decreasing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🌊🔋
CO2 emissions in China have decreased from a peak in March 2024 to June 2025. The reduction is due to the deployment of massive amounts of renewable capacity, particularly solar PV.

There was a lot of “you’re doomed” talk when the real estate lobby sued to overturn local law 97 & the gas lobby sued over the city & state bans on gas in new buildings. Headlines + stories implying they’d win. But these were bs cases without legal merit. Now, we’ve won all 3 cases.😀
