It you live in Los Angeles, shut your windows and turn off your vents to the outside — the air quality is hazardous.
You can visualize air quality in the @MyRadarWX map. The bull’s eye of hazardous air is directly over the nation’s second-largest city.
🤑🛢️CA oil majors @exxonmobil, @chevron, @shell: earning record-breaking profits and benefiting off taxpayer dollars.💸💸💸
The Water’s Edge tax break benefits Big Oil to the tune of $75M to $146M ANNUALLY.

Revealed: WSPA helped bury climate science in the ’50s. Funded by Shell, Chevron, Exxon, and SoCalGas, they launched one of the first-ever front groups to mislead the public. Their lies started with LA smog and continue today. #WSPAKnew #MakePollutersPay

🛢️In 1955, Los Angeles oil execs were warned that CO2 could have “considerable significance to civilization.”
Their response?
Delete, deny, destroy.
This is where Big Oil’s climate disinformation began. #WSPAKnew

BREAKING: Kern County just approved the first carbon capture and storage site ever in California. But there’s still time for @EPARegion9 to weigh in.

Big Oil wants to scare you into voting for @realDonaldTrump.
California just passed a bill cracking down on a scheme oil companies use to jack up gas prices before the election.
Don't fall for their dirty lies.

Thank you @Sammy_Roth for highlighting #AB3233.
We need @CAGovernor to sign this important bill, which protects communities from oil & gas pollution.

📢@EPA moves to make Exide a Superfund.
The toxic legacy of Exide lead emissions is staggering : $770 Million trying 2 clean it up. And more required.
We're all paying the price of @CaliforniaDTSC slow, inadequate permitting & enforcement decisions gov.ca.gov/2024/09/04/u-s-ep…

This heatwave, remember to thank Big Oil.
An extreme heatwave with severe intensity and potentially unprecedented duration is about to roast California over the next week.
Sacramento is forecasted to see 5 consecutive days above 109°F. The previous record was 3.
San Jose is forecasted to see 5 straight days above 100°F, tying the all-time record.
Even San Francisco will not be spared from the heatwave, with temperatures potentially climbing into the low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday in the eastern part of the city.
Redding and the hottest parts of the Central Valley could see 7-10 straight days above 110°F. Redding could hit 117°F on Saturday.
Death Valley is forecasted to see 7 consecutive days of 127+°F, including a high of 129.6°F next Monday, just shy of the highest temperature ever reliably recorded on Earth.

Thanks to frontline activists, SB-1137 is now in full effect. This historic legislation is set to dramatically reduce air pollution waged on Black, Brown and low-income communities—and better protect all Californians from harmful chemicals linked to neighborhood drilling.

Thank you @sengonzalez33 for your leadership on #SB252! The fight is not over to divest $14 billion from climate-wrecking fossil fuel corporations. We’re proud to work with such a climate leader! @FossilFreeCA @LastChance_CA

“It’s baffling that the state would green light new drilling in California amid repeated oil spills, dangerously high air pollution and intensifying climate disasters,” - @hkretzmann, @CBD_Climate

📢 CA, listen up! Did you know that 90 companies are responsible for ~2/3 of the emissions wrecking our environment, bodies, and future?
That’s why @SenatorMenjivar introduced SB1497 – to make the biggest fossil fuel polluters pay for climate harms they've caused. 🧵
Aimee Dewing retweeted
It’s finally time to make the polluters pay for the harm they have caused our communities.
AB 2716 "Low-Producing Oil Well Accountability Act by Asm. @ib2_real (D-Los Angeles) is approved by the committee and will therefore advance in the legislative process. It will fine oil wells $10,000 per day if they are near communities & producing less than 15 barrels per day.
