Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, has received at least $352,000 in 'contributions' from the oil and gas industry since 2019. And during that time, he switched from being a clean energy advocate to a climate change denier. Funny that. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

@txsharon.bsky.social and I write about how current plans to address the methane crisis in the U.S. oilfields are not going to get the job done. Also, I got a @bsky.app handle into Scientific American.

Methane’s Climate Crisis Needs More than Satellites to Stop Emissionswww.scientificamerican.com New regulations, and satellites like MethaneSat, very likely will not cut methane emissions. Natural gas industry economics will instead continue delaying their needed reduction

I've been digging into how, from the very beginning, the oil and gas industry courted Australian journalists -- and how they sought to use their skills to quell public dissent on environmental issues. Here's my write-up of the latest materials I found:

On Amazon's claim that it will soon achieve 100% renewable power for its data centers: "When we look at the locations in the US where Amazon actually operates its data centers, we estimate that Amazon only gets 22% renewable energy from the local utilities in those regions."

Wondering if anyone in Amazon management has responded to its employees' scathing critique of last week's sustainability report and PR blitz. Presumably investors and the SEC are paying attention? www.amazonclimatejustice.org/our-research

This would be a really unfortunate retreat by the Biden Administration. Lots of law firms are undoubtedly watching the energy companies' use of the new Loper Bright SCOTUS ruling to intimidate Treasury. If Treasury retreats, expect the law firm blogs to highlight this new path to deregulation.

This is not good. We're going to pay companies who claim to be making "clean hydrogen" but cause emissions to go up. Sigh. Good piece about bad news by @emilypont.bsky.social heatmap.news/economy/hydr...

Is there an explanation for why political journalists are so horny for a Trump win catalysed by an assassination attempt

The wagging tails and proud bragging about providing fascist imagery for a white supremacist movement is just particularly stomach churning. These people are really letting us know how they think and feel.

She really said, “Retire, bitch.” (The “bitch” isn’t stated but is strongly implied.”

There's a lower-stakes but similar thing in Australia where they frame crappy, pointless spats on climate as "climate wars" and do horse-race journalism around that instead of meaningful assessment of the issue

Dipping back into Twitter to lurk on assassination stuff and truly, from the bottom of my heart, unless you have massively curated lists, no one in media or politics should be microwaving their neurons on there.

I should be supporting Spain and not England, right?
