It wouldn't be Independence Day without Bill Moyers' recollections of the Freedom of Information Act's inauspicious signing "ceremony" and LBJ's less than gracious observations about the law securing the public's right to know. Happy 4th! Happy FOIA!! vimeo.com/127863951

#cop28 World leaders are celebrating new methane rules to tackle leakage of an exponentially lethal greenhouse gas. But none of these leaders thus far are willing to tackle the source of methane: the actual gas infrastructure they continue to expand, imperiling the planet.

NEWS #COP28: In a surprising move, the UAE and IEA have made a pretty darn ambitious acknowledgement—That we should phasedown fossil fuels by 2030. This is a strong signal that we may achieve the first oil and gas phasedown commitment ever in 30 years of climate talks.

Excited this week to start my new role as Senior Climate Policy Counsel with @Public_Citizen! Great team, lots of urgent work to do - including helping new boss @David_Arkush build out the legal theory to charge fossil fuel companies with climate homicide. theguardian.com/environment/…

New climate paper calls for charging big US oil firms with homicide

Authors of paper accepted for publication in Harvard Environmental Law Review argue firms are ‘killing members of the public at an accelerating rate’

Thank you @CAgovernor @AGRobBonta for providing the climate leadership the world so desperately needs! Historic case from world's 5th largest economy provides major momentum in the race to end deadly fossil fuels & preserve a livable planet.

Big Oil has been lying to us – covering up the fact that they’ve long known how dangerous the fossil fuels they produce are for our planet. It has been decades of damage & deception. With @AGRobBonta, California is taking action to hold big polluters accountable.

It has been decades of damage and deception. Wildfires wiping out entire communities, toxic smoke clogging our air, deadly heat waves, record-breaking droughts parching our wells. California taxpayers shouldn't have to foot the bill. California is taking action to hold big polluters accountable."

I joined the inspiring @Janefonda at a rally this evening in NYC outside a Wall Street fundraiser for President Biden. Her simple message: we must put our bodies on the line to save the planet. "Now is the time for civil disobedience."
