I run HEATED, a weekly-ish newsletter devoted to climate accountability journalism. Philly-based. She/her.
- This tik tok singlehandedly renewed my passion for the environment
00:00 - As a climate reporter I am often asked, what gives you hope? And the answer is, unequivocally, Gen Z climate tik tok
00:00 - Mike Lee, infected with coronavirus, shouting "the purpose of government is to protect life" without a mask is a real 2020 mood
- Man, I try to never stan a politician, but when the debate moderator interrupted Bernie Sanders' climate change comments to say "I want to stay on trade" and Sanders responded "they're the same" I felt years return to my life.
- I am near speechless. An Exxon official admitting, on camera, how the company works to prevent effective climate action by using third party “whipping boys” so no one knows it’s them. These recordings should be played on every TV station in the world.
- If you let any story cut through all the Twitter noise today, please let it be this: At least six local news websites across Alabama and Florida have been secretly taking payments from power companies to run stories attacking clean energy + other policies
- New study out today asserts 50% of temperature increase & 32% of sea level rise was caused by just 90 companies
- NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy, who claimed he could speak truthfully on climate change b/c he's not "bought and paid for," has a $50M+ stake in an investment firm dedicating to drilling as much fossil fuels as possible. The main fund is literally called DRLL.
- Under Twitter’s new ad rules, environmental groups can’t pay to spread pro-climate policy messages. But Exxon can pay to spread tweets claiming a widespread political conspiracy against it, and touting its pro-climate credentials
- The founder of EPA's environmental justice office quit yesterday after 24 years at the agency. Here's his resignation letter.
00:00- Rep. Ilhan Omar: "People see, like, our celebrity status. They see, like, the amount of support we have outside and oftentimes they forget how challenging it is to be an environment that, like, doesn't expect you to succeed."
