Former Governor still on a mission to defeat climate change and building a better future for everyone. Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and organize.
Marjorie Taylor Green is right in saying that someone is changing the weather. It’s the fossil fuel companies. Bigly. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
Have you noticed the incredible frequency of flash floods this summer? The scientific community has. It’s a bad summer for a president to be doing everything he can to retard the clean energy growth required to defeat climate change. cnn.com/2025/07/20/cli…
Having worked in Congress to fund the Incredible science coming out of the LIGO facility, it is maddening that what Einstein predicted, gravity waves, Trump wants to leave unobserved with the confidence this unbelievably complex science requires. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/s…
Trump is now trying to hide both the Epstein files and the climate change files. The first may not threaten human civilization, the latter does. Trump administration says it won't publish major climate change reports on NASA website as promised seattletimes.com/nation-world/t…
You won’t hear about this fire in my area while flash flooding sweeps multiple states, but it is notable because it is in western Washington, the -previously- wet side. Floods. Fires. No places are safe from climate change now, not a hundred years later. facebook.com/story.php?stor…
The sirens are blaring, warning us of more flash flooding, and grief itself cannot blind us to this reality. We need more than grief, we need action against the fundamental cause of increasing disasters.
As flash floods ravage multiple states we all have inarguable warnings that intense precipitation events are increasing because for every 1 degree C increase, air can hold 7% more water. More climate change, more floods. c2es.org/content/extrem…
Pollution from burning fossil fuels causes acidification of the oceans, which can destroy oysters. If you like oysters, you should hate the Republican’s big ugly, oyster killing bill, as it strips the nation of our protections against this threat. seattletimes.com/nation-world/i…
What is beyond dispute is that Congress is understaffed with legislators who know that climate change is increasing the frequency of intense precipitation events. Ignoring science at the behest the fossil fuels industry is deadly. texasobserver.org/climate-change…
When you caused a vacancy in the “warning coordination meteorologist” position when the Texas flash floods hit, you have a lot of explaining to do, Trump. Killing climate science kills people. cnn.com/2025/07/05/cli…
North Carolina. Texas. When will floods finally wash away the climate change denial in DC that is now washing away America’s economically productive clean energy industries? nytimes.com/2025/07/07/wea…
It is hard to make the Texas flood tragedy worse, except to know that on the same day Trump signed a bill cratering solar and wind energy that is vital in the battle against the climate change making these torrential rains more frequent. nytimes.com/2025/07/05/cli…
A bill that is based on the grossly false belief that wind energy is a hoax, is a “beautiful” bill, the same way the Titanic was a “beautiful” ship. huffpost.com/entry/donald-t…
Here is today’s news on the climate front on the day the Trump cult guts America’s clean energy transformation, thereby simultaneously handing the economic growth advantage to China and the environmental advantage to the beast of climate change. cnn.com/2025/07/03/cli…, on
Solar eclipses are not usually harmful, but this eclipse of solar energy by a large orb of ignorance in the White House and his cult followers will bring nothing but the darkness of higher electricity prices and a cold winter of joblessness. cnn.com/2025/06/30/cli…
You have to ask what possible motivation the Republican’s have to kill cheap, efficient, and clean solar and wind energy, except blind ideology. Unguided ideology snatching defeat from the jaws of cheap energy victory.
New... 'Kill shot:’ Senate GOP megabill would impose new tax on solar, wind. The change would require projects — even those not getting IRA credits — to navigate complex requirements that prohibit sourcing from China, or else pay. w/@kelseytam, @jamepdx subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025/0…
While EV’s come on strong, more range, more models, more sales, Trump is illegally trying to stop progress in Washington State by tubing the California clean car rule, which we use. Why should Washington State have to slow down and wait for Mississippi? virta.global/global-electri…
Seldom has one bill killed more jobs, more quickly, in more industries than Trump’s dirty energy bill. cnn.com/2025/05/21/cli…
We are all pulling for Joe Biden. He deserves it after being such an advocate for cancer research that is now so promising. We are hopeful that the effort to cut that research at universities is beaten back, and he does well.
