New paper alert! With @thomasnhale and aldrick arceo, we tracked #Netzero pledges by govts and firms from 2015-23. We find a net zero “wave” – huge growth in pledges over time, but of varying robustness. 🧵 ClimateSky EnergySky GreenSky

Lots of buzz on CA’s latest lawsuit vs Exxon. It’s not overtly framed around climate change like most other cases. Rather it’s about public nuisance & consumer deception -- which may be a more successful strategy in defanging #BigOiloag.ca.gov/system/files...

"After years of improvement, American public attitudes toward Muslims and #Islam have declined in the past few months, and expressed public prejudice toward Muslims remains higher than toward any other religious, ethnic, or racial group studied"

I've had the great honor of sitting down with our future President, Kamala Harris, to talk climate policy. She is brilliant, dedicated, hard working, and beyond qualified for the job. She is going to deliver for us on climate. Let's win this election! LFG!!!!

Absolutely stellar pair of defensive wins against Big Oil and assorted forces of evil in California, only six days apart. Nice work to all who made it happen!

Fossil fuel interests are spreading misinformation that renewable energy is harmful, unreliable and worse for consumers.

How much is the oil industry really worth? "In a time when we will be working with a tough budget for the next couple of years, we need polluters to share the burden and pay for the damages their products have caused" If more bills like this pass, a lot less. Which is accurate. Voting tomorrow.
