- Weird how quiet these guys are about the millions of acres of land that look like this due to coal mining.
This is not “saving the planet”. This is countryside vandalism. - Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects. I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars. Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy." 🧵
- Researchers just found that gas stoves are responsible for 12.7% of childhood asthma cases. Recently I read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality. I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests. Here's what I learned.
- During his election campaign, Lula pledged to protect the Amazon rainforest. In his first month in office, deforestation rates fell by 61%.
- I've been seeing a lot of people on the left and right talking about the 2024 election as if it was a landslide. So I made this chart to put things in context. Trump's win was one of the smallest in modern history.
- The world's largest climate and weather data archive is located in Asheville, NC. Due to an historic climate disaster, its currently offline.
- Huh that’s weird. Never could have seen this coming.
- Wow, the trade union that represents America’s 3 million construction workers just said the Senate’s big bill would be “the biggest job-killing bill in our country’s history.” They think it threatens up to 1.75 million construction jobs.
- Fact check: Literally none of our solar panels are coming from China.
- This is the man who will be leading America's top health agency.
- The manufacturing boom that started under the Biden administration is grinding to a halt under Trump.
