My latest at @heatmap.news , on how aggressive climate action is now woven into the Democratic agenda at all levels. For instance, all the Dem governors mentioned as successors - Whitmer, Newsom, Pritzker, Shapiro - are moving strongly on climate (though Shapiro a little less so).

"But the logic of carbon credits may not be totally aligned with the point of carbon removal." Read @emilypont.bsky.social on the identity crisis facing carbon removal, with help from @freyachay.bsky.social and @roberthoglund.bsky.social:
