I run HEATED, a weekly-ish newsletter devoted to climate accountability journalism. Philly-based. She/her.
Literally could not have created a better advertisement for HEATED if I tried. Sign up to get angry: heated.world

Stepping outside on an 80 degree November day realizing not only that Donald Trump will be president for the next four years, but that this will be the coldest November for the rest of my life
We have a new collaboration with @emorwee that takes a look at the oil and gas industry's strategy to dismantle climate policy and boost fossil fuel production during a second Trump administration. More here: fieldnotes.substack.com/p/big-oils-pla…
Think I'm finally done here. Actually having fun on the sky app like it's 2019 again. See me there, same username 🫶👋
The landowners said they were left with unplugged, abandoned wells that pose health risks, degrade the environment and hurt property values. wvgazettemail.com/news/energy_an…
Trump has already established an EPA transition team led by two former fossil fuel lobbyists with “years of experience in dismantling environmental protections” I interviewed activists about where we go from here: heated.world/p/trumps-envir…
My partner works for Wisp. Can confirm this is true. whnt.com/news/americans…

See, the Trump administration will protect access to clean air and water. Like it won't be widely available but definitely you will be able to access it somewhere
It is an honor to join President Trump’s Cabinet as EPA Administrator. We will restore US energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the US the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water.
Elon Musk "has been seen at Mar-a-Lago nearly every single day since Donald Trump won, dining with him on the patio at times" and "weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles," @kaitlancollins reports
Video shows Elnur Soltanov, a chief executive of @COP29_AZ, discussing using the COP to drive "investment opportunities" in their state oil & gas company. "We have a lot of gas fields that are to be developed," he said to the reporter posing as an investor. @BBC has the story.
I’m an atmospheric scientist not a journalist. Don’t expect neutrality on science policy. You’ll find little argument among climate scientists that the setbacks & abdication of American climate leadership expected in the next 4+ years could spell a fatal blow to staying below 2°C
@JohnMoralesTV “I found it sadly fitting that on the day that may cast the greatest doubt about the future of a livable planet, …” A little biased, are we?…
A note to Dem politicians and campaigns: You won't persuade voters with a one-off appearance on a popular podcast the week before the election (which is not a knock on Harris' campaign; she only had a couple months so they did all they could). The reason Republicans are winning…
Trump’s re-election is the nail in the coffin for 1.5 degrees Celsius, the critical threshold past which the planet will experience significantly more extreme climate impacts, nine climate scientists and policy experts told us this week. heated.world/p/15c-is-dead-…

I have a new answer to the question, “What does media need to do now that Trump has been re-elected?” I think you guys are really gonna like it
WTF with @emorwee What a Trump Presidency means for climate action – with added humour because if you're not laughing you're crying amirite. Listen to the full episode now: planetcritical.com/p/wtf-emily-at…
On Tuesday, voters in Washington state decisively upheld a landmark climate law that created a cap-and-invest program that has raised billions of dollars for clean energy and electrification projects across the state ow.ly/NN9y50U2a0E
As a digital culture researcher, I think there's something to say about the influx of tradwife/homesteaders in creator economies, and how they've irrevocably changed the way young white women are imagining their roles in political participation.
Can we please all stop saying Harris tacked to the "center"? Liz Cheney and Mark Cuban are not the "center". They are the TOP. Harris tacked to the top, playing right into Trump's narrative that Dems are the party of the elite and the GOP is the party of working people.
