If we can do this more, @WesternDsk founder @madmcgill says, climate change won’t be a culture war issue. Instead, the issue becomes “more about economic prosperity and resilience.” Hear her full remarks from CCL's last monthly call: youtube.com/watch?v=r2UrhRmG…

Solid Power is pushing the boundaries of electric batteries & we were thrilled to join them for the groundbreaking of their new facility in Thornton. CO is on the front lines of the climate crisis, and now we'll be on the front lines of the solution 👉 coloradonewsline.com/briefs/…

Everyone needs to understand that this is the whole point of the climate crisis.  Think it's hot now? From here on out, every year is likely going to be hotter than the last. Not scared yet? This might be the coolest year we have for decades to come.

Huge huge win, in Montana of all places, as a judge rules kids have a right to a safe climate. This state has more coal than any state in the country, and has never denied a fossil fuel permit--but change is coming! washingtonpost.com/climate-e…

“This is a monumental decision," said a lawyer for the young plaintiffs, and could influence similar cases in other states.

Breaking news: In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment” by promoting the use of fossil fuels. The court determined that a provision in the Montana Environmental Policy Act has harmed the state’s environment and the young plaintiffs, by preventing Montana from considering the climate impacts of energy projects. wapo.st/3OR7zZv

The news from Hawaii is tragic & terrifying. Like most extreme weather these days, there's a climate connection. "Climate change is increasing the likelihood of more extreme weather events like what’s playing out on the island of Maui," says @ClaireARush. apnews.com/article/hawaii-wi…
Maui's fire became deadly fast. Climate change, flash drought, invasive grass and more fueled it

.@CopernicusEU has confirmed that July was the hottest month on record. IPCC’s #ClimateReport released in 2021, shows that Earth’s climate has always changed naturally, but both the global extent and rate of recent warming are unusual. ➡️ bit.ly/WGIFAQ

This Austin car park got a solar upgrade. The panels not only shade cars and passangers they also power the building with 100% clean energy. Shouldn't every car park get a solar upgrade? We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables
