The University of California system is a leader in climate science, but that is in jeopardy if it continues to serve as an R&D center for the fossil fuel industry. It's time to clean up the oil spill in higher ed! My op-ed out today in The Sacramento Bee: sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

Great interview of NaomiOreskes by @palumboliu. "[a]... consortium of people ... build an ideology that basically says we should trust the marketplace … to persuade people that government regulation ... will actually undermine freedom and democracy." creativeprocess.info/new-blog-82/sp…

Documents show that UC Berkeley is planning a 8MW fossil gas fuel cell which oxidizes methane to release CO2. That is NOT decarbonization or "clean energy". Sam Jackson Whiting & San Francisco Chronicle - can we get the facts straight? Sammy Roth, investigate? UCB claims to lead the UC.

.@joshualeifer✊: "The protesters are largely content with Jewish supremacy as long as it protects liberal freedoms for Jews. What they seem to want is to maintain both the material benefits of that inequality & the self-comforting illusion of democracy" nybooks.com/articles/2023/…

Proud of you all👊 It needs to be headline news, every day, that the best estimate from the IPCC for tipping points such as accelerated methane release from permafrost is 1.5 C of global heating, about 10 years from now.

BREAKING: Our blockade is working!!! We just turned away a government SUV from entering the White House Correspondents Dinner hotel in DC. Business as usual + Biden’s approval of massive new oil + gas projects is killing the planet. The solution is simple — #EndFossilFuels.

It's pretty incredible to see the institution ... hmmm... institutionalizing our win. We Chased Out Chase Bank! And now there is a Credit Union in its place - with minimal financing of fossil extraction. Stop the Money Pipeline @RAN

From net zero fantasies to leaving fossil fuels in the ground. From the psychology of skepticism to upscaling activism & advocacy. @palumboliu ably interviews me with a challenging set of questions. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

Strong writing by @jemersmith in the The San Diego Union-Tribune today! Whereas we have 20GW of rooftop potential in San Diego County, our investor-owned utility wants instead to build hugely expensive transmission lines to the backcountry, making profit from us ratepayers! sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environme…

The world’s on fire. I’m letting go of the cosiness of academia to devote the rest of my life more directly to putting the fire out - and to coping with what we can’t put out. 🔥

As a veteran of the fossil fuel divestment movement, this just makes me😭 Why is San Diego Community Power (our community choice aggregator) using JP Morgan Chase for a $150 million credit agreement? Chase financed fossil extraction by $450 billion since 2016. sdcommunitypower.org/wp-content/upl…
