Lots more to do on protection; lots more to do on plastics pollution; lots more to do on illegal and pirate fishing; lots more to do on ocean acidification from fossil fuel emissions.    thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

Biden administration must accelerate ocean protection

With only 21 months left in his current term, President Biden’s ocean conservation accomplishments still fall far short of his rhetoric and promises.

Revealed: 1,000 super-emitting methane leaks risk triggering climate tipping points

Vast releases of gas, along with future ‘methane bombs’, represent huge threat – but curbing emissions would rapidly reduce global heating

To do its work right, a methane task force should coordinate with state, local, tribal and private lawyers, so the fastest best legal remedy can be brought against the leaker.

And it would do no harm for the US to lead an international effort to spotlight big methane leaks. The EU just put up a satellite for that.

“The fossil fuel industry gets somewhere between $10 and $50 billion in U.S. subsidies every year.” Actually, if you count polluting for free, IMF says the subsidy is $660 BILLION per year. grist.org/economics/the-ipcc…

The IPCC says we need to phase down fossil fuels, fast.

Here's how the U.S. could do it.

E&E News: 8th Circuit delivers climate blow to Big Oil

Democrats are working to advance President Biden’s Budget—which would lower costs, protect Social Security, and make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. MAGA Republicans are working to raise costs for families, ship jobs overseas, and cut investments in the middle class.

Anyone heeding Trump’s “death and destruction” call should consider the present living accommodations of hundreds who answered Trump’s previous call to violence. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Trump warns of ‘potential death & destruction’ if he is charged in hush-money case

The post-midnight posting on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, was his latest — and most explicit — allusion to violence that could follow an indictment.

On ‘woke’ ESG: “A lot of this is the fossil fuel industry scared witless that they’re going to be outcompeted by renewables and that the big asset managers are going to realize that and move their money there.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Don’t be fooled by the GOP crusade against ‘woke Wall Street’

Everything Republicans are saying about ESG investing is bogus — and so is the idea that they've undergone an ideological shift.

You might want to grab a seat for this one 🧵 Yesterday, @POLITICO revealed that @CPInst hosted a “retreat” to teach GOP staffers how to conduct "aggressive oversight of the Biden administration.” In other words, dark money is now training GOP staff to do dark money’s bidding.

13 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became law. The ACA gave millions of Americans access to insurance for the first time and protected those with pre-existing conditions — much to the GOP’s chagrin. Despite countless Republican efforts to repeal it, the ACA is here to stay.

A great goal! Any other convenience stores want to compete to see who can build the largest EV charging network? :-) Our EV network needs to be accessible within communities, not just along highways. I look forward to learning more about 7/11's plans. greencarreports.com/news/113…

7-Eleven wants its EV charging network to be among the largest

The company says it plans to build "one of the largest and most compatible electric vehicle charging networks of any retailer in North America."
