I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Here's something that @speakermenin.bsky.social and @mayor.nyc.gov can agree on: Jersey and upstate industry shills don't get to tell NYC how to enforce its 55-year old law banning engine idling. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/17/p...

Bike lanes and sidewalk extensions speed emergency vehicle response times because there are no cars there. That’s the key.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

Opponents of a natural gas pipeline approved by Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York noted that the project would benefit a client of the prominent law firm where her husband works.

When @governor.ny.gov tells you she wants affordable clean energy, don’t believe it. She’s doing Trump’s work for him, selling you out to the gas companies raising your bills. NY needs to #BuildPublicRenewables, not pipelines!

The climate crisis is here and it’s not going away. NYC wasn’t built to withstand climate chaos. It’s up to us to build a sustainable, resilient city where tragedies like this never happen again.

Our fossil-fueled grid is heading for blackouts as soon as NEXT YEAR. This is why we can’t wait to build a full 15 gigawatts of public renewable energy. ⚡️ We can’t trust private companies to invest in the public good. We need public power.

Charlie Kirk wasn't from New York. He didn't live in New York. The shooting didn't happen in New York. In July he Tweeted "Was just in NYC all weekend with our family. Never felt safe. So many people in the city who don’t belong." Why did the New York Yankees have a moment of silence for him?

Governor Hochul @governor.ny.gov has an opportunity to reverse course and become a climate champion. Doing so would enshrine her in the pantheon of New York's greatest elected officials (and guarantee her another term). It's your choice, Governor! nysfocus.com/2025/07/29/n...

On a bad air day like today, it is especially dangerous when trucks, buses, and cars illegally idle. Shut the engine off, and go inside.
