I mean…
The floor speech comes during a pivotal moment for US climate politics.
Among all the big bad things happening on our planet, there's one Big Good Thing, the sudden, startling rise of solar energy.
It changes the power dynamic, in every sense of the word 'power.'

The bill remains awful, but tiny sigh of relief here. This could have killed the clean energy industry.
Come hang out with us for a happy hour on Wednesday!

The Trump administration plans to eliminate the research arm of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.
Reliable long-term weather forecasting is key to protecting communities from extreme weather.
I’m proud to re-introduce the FORECAST Act with Senator Wicker. This bill ensures public health, safety, and peace of mind when there are disasters on our doorstep.

The European Commission is delaying the release of the bloc’s 2040 climate target until “before summer” while Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra struggles to find support for the pledge to slash emissions.
A push by Donald Trump’s administration to repeal a barrage of clean air and water regulations could deal a severe blow to US public health, a Guardian analysis shows.
A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth.
An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs.
No pay wall.

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.
“Clearcutting these beautiful places will increase fire risk, drive species to extinction, pollute our rivers and streams, and destroy world-class recreation sites.” Trump’s timber order is based on nothing but lies, greed, hatred, and monumental ignorance.

Thank you, Representative Pettersen, for continuing to show up for CO-7. We wish you had been allowed to proxy vote during this special time for you and Sam, but we are thankful for your leadership and determination to represent the district.
In the region of the US with the most congested electricity grid, where new clean power is most desperately needed, Trump is killing offshore wind.
Why? Who wants this? Who voted for it?

What can we do about the Trump administration’s actions that are hurting climate and clean energy? (Freezing IRA funds, curtailing NOAA’s work, etc)
CCL's perspective is: Lean hard on Congress.
Here’s Executive Director @kerestes.bsky.social — watch her full message at cclusa.org/febcall.
Exactly — NOAA’s data and research is vital.
Hindering NOAA's work would have catastrophic consequences for the fight against climate change and jeopardize the safety of American communities nationwide.
Our volunteers are contacting Congress about it, and you can too: cclusa.org/noaa
Climate change communication in the real world — Science Moms has an ad during the Super Bowl this year!
Our research shows that 70% of adults in the United States believe global warming will harm future generations.
