Thanks to American voters, we are back in the #ParisAgreement. America is once again poised to lead the world on climate action, working with our allies to build a better future for us all. Time to get back to work!

Today’s election results mark a significant turning point for the future of Brazil and demonstrate the power of democracy to advance progress for our planet and its people. (1/2)

Today’s decision is a disappointment, but it's not a surprise. It's the result of coordination by the fossil fuel lobby to dismantle progress toward climate solutions. This ruling does not mean we are out of options! We must call on Congress to pass climate legislation. 1/2

A superb choice by President-elect @JoeBiden of @JohnKerry as Climate Envoy. Kerry’s experience and passion are exactly what we need to restore American leadership abroad and repair the alliances that are crucial to solving the climate crisis.

As President, Joe Biden has been — and is — an exceptional leader. He is responsible for developing and signing the most significant investment in climate solutions into law. He helped our nation navigate a global pandemic, ushered in an economic recovery that has created good-paying jobs for Americans across the country, and restored America’s standing abroad. I know that he is not done delivering for the American people and will continue to serve this nation with wisdom and dignity in the coming months. In paving the way for a new generation of leadership, President Biden’s decision is a fitting testament to his profoundly consequential career. I applaud his selfless decision.

Nancy Pelosi has been the greatest, most effective Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives in American history. Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for your dedicated service and leadership.

.@JoeBiden has selected an extraordinary running mate in @kamalaharris! Kamala has made climate and environmental justice a top priority in her career in public service, and I know she will continue to be a strong advocate in the White House. #BidenHarris2020

The Inflation Reduction Act has the potential to be a historic turning point. It represents the single largest investment in climate solutions & environmental justice in US history. Decades of tireless work by climate advocates across the country led to this moment. 1/3

As a prosecutor, @KamalaHarris took on Big Oil companies – and won. As @VP, she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the most significant investment in climate solutions in history, the Inflation Reduction Act. That’s the kind of climate champion we need in the White House. With so much at stake in this year’s election – from strengthening democracy in the US and abroad, to expanding opportunity for the American people, to accelerating climate action – I’m proud to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

I’ve seen @Tim_Walz in action and have worked with him. He is a proven leader on climate and knows the issue inside and out. As Vice President Harris’ running mate, his climate credentials make him a valuable asset on an issue that demands urgent action if we want to build a better future for our country.

In America, no one person or political party can alter the unassailable principle that the rule of law prevails. Every vote must be counted in this election, and the will of the American people will determine the outcome. We must remain calm. Democracy will win the day.

Senators should reject Mike Pompeo’s nomination to be Secretary of State. He denies the climate crisis, and has been doing the bidding for fossil fuel interests his whole career. The American people deserve better.

Reminder: Despite President Trump’s best efforts, the U.S. cannot officially withdraw from the #ParisAgreement until one day after the next Presidential election. And then it takes just 30 days for a new President to get us back in. This decision is in the hands of the voters.

My statement on Today’s Decision by the Trump Administration to Withdraw from the Paris Agreement: bit.ly/2rKpCHo

President-elect Biden has assembled not only an “A” team to lead his climate agenda forward, but an “A+” team! Each appointee is ready on Day 1 to take on the urgent, existential threat of the climate crisis, while creating millions of new jobs & protecting frontline communities.

Today, President Trump will issue a series of Executive Orders that deny the climate emergency facing our country in favor of a phony “energy emergency”. These performative acts show the pervasive influence that the fossil fuel industry will have in the United States over the next four years. But make no mistake, the global Sustainability Revolution is unstoppable. As was the case in 2017, withdrawing the US from the Paris Agreement is a shortsighted abdication of leadership that will only serve to put our nation at a disadvantage. Clinging to the industries of the past instead of embracing the industries of the future may boost the short-term profits of fossil fuel companies, but it will come at the expense of the broader American economy - including American workers who risk being left behind. This is the first of what will be many attempts to ignore reality and try to stall the world’s unstoppable and irreversible move to a clean energy economy. But these proclamations are not reflective of our political and economic reality. These efforts to roll back progress – particularly the hugely popular clean energy investments in the Inflation Reduction Act – will be met with opposition from both political parties. That’s why, in the coming weeks, months, and years, climate leaders and activists must not be deterred or distracted. From extreme weather disasters like Hurricane Helene and the still burning Los Angeles wildfires, to the growing number of climate refugees, to competitiveness in the global economy, the climate crisis will have profound consequences for the United States over the next four years. If the new Administration won’t lead on this issue, it is up to all of us. Now is the time for Governors, Mayors, business leaders, investors, and activists to put their heads down and do the work that will advance the climate solutions our nation and the world so urgently need. We were able to keep up the pace of climate action during the first Trump Administration, and it is urgent that we take up the mantle once again.

It's been a long time coming, but the Senate has finally advanced transformative climate legislation. Thank you to Senators Schumer and Manchin and to every Senator who fought to ensure that climate action was a priority in this bill. Now to the House and to the President's desk!

I was heartbroken to hear the news of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. Having known Joe for decades, I’m certain he’ll fight hard against this disease and will be lifted up by the love of his family. My prayers are with him and the entire Biden family.

Outraged. Horrified. Shocked. Appalled. Heartbroken. It’s hard to find just one word to express my feelings about the assassination of MN Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. One of the first roles Melissa ever took in politics was working for me in the U.S. Senate. Though she was only there for a short time, she had a lasting impact on our team. I can tell that the same is true of the many others who worked with her throughout her impactful career as a public servant and leading climate advocate. There is absolutely no excuse for political violence and everyone in public life must condemn this horrific tragedy. My prayers go out to her children and all who loved her. I am also praying, along with so many others, for the full recovery of MN Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

Today's GOP-led vote in the TN House disenfranchised nearly 150,000 voters whose representatives rightfully pushed to reform TN’s insanely dangerous gun laws after the horrific mass murder at The Covenant School last week. What a historically sad day for democracy in Tennessee.

COP28 is now on the verge of complete failure. The world desperately needs to phase out fossil fuels as quickly as possible, but this obsequious draft reads as if OPEC dictated it word for word. It is even worse than many had feared. It is “Of the Petrostates, By the Petrostates and For the Petrostates.” It is deeply offensive to all who have taken this process seriously. There are 24 hours left to show whose side the world is on: the side that wants to protect humanity’s future by kickstarting the orderly phase out of fossil fuels or the side of the petrostates and the leaders of the oil and gas companies that are fueling the historic climate catastrophe. In order to prevent COP28 from being the most embarrassing and dismal failure in 28 years of international climate negotiations, the final text must include clear language on phasing out fossil fuels. Anything else is a massive step backwards from where the world needs to be to truly address the climate crisis and make sure the 1.5°C goal doesn’t die in Dubai.

Great to see @GretaThunberg at #WEF20 today. Once again, I was struck by her potent and sobering call to action. Nobody speaks truth to power as she does: “Our house is still on fire. Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour.” nytimes.com/2020/01/21/clima…

What a week! @JoeBiden and an outstanding group of Democratic leaders celebrated the monumental legacy of the Biden-Harris administration, while @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz outlined their ambitious vision for the future. I'm excited to do all I can to help elect them in November!

I am wishing Jimmy Carter the happiest 100th birthday! We should all strive to live by his example, navigating the world with kindness, resilience, and empathy. Jimmy, thank you for your friendship, your leadership, and for always being true to who you are.

I offer my congratulations to President-elect Lula da Silva. The world looks forward to renewed leadership from Brazil in driving the solutions to the climate crisis and halting biodiversity loss. (2/2)

What a wonderful decision by the Conclave to choose the first American Pope! Leo XIV, when he was a Cardinal, urged the world to move “from words to action” on the environmental crisis facing the world. His leadership as Pope will be so crucial on this vitally important issue.

Congrats to @ReverendWarnock & @ossoff! Georgia has voted for what millions of Americans are demanding: Action on the climate crisis. Millions of new, good paying jobs. Green innovation. Protecting low-income communities from pollution. Let’s get to work!

President Trump is once again defying a majority of American citizens, states, and businesses. His offshore drilling proposal threatens our coastal communities, just to prop up a dying fossil fuel industry.

Jimmy Carter lived a life full of purpose, humility, and kindness. He had an unyielding commitment to building a more peaceful, safer, and more just world and a cleaner environment. He is also remembered around the world for the work he did over the 42 years after he left office. In everything he did, he led with heart, faith in God, and courage. I am grateful for the many years of his leadership and friendship. I extend my thoughts and prayers to his children, grandchildren, and all of the people whose lives he touched around the world who are grieving his loss. May he be at peace with his beloved Rosalynn.

I am saddened to hear the news of Bill Richardson’s passing. He was an exceptional public servant, a relentless advocate for those unjustly held overseas and a true friend. I send my deepest condolences to the Richardson family during this difficult time.

This comes at the end of a term that will be remembered for moving America backwards. To address the climate crisis, we must address the democracy crisis. We must harness this moment to galvanize change. My statement on WV v EPA: algore.com/news/statement-by… 2/2

A new UN report has confirmed that we are not on track to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. 
 This latest report card shows that we are failing, not because we don't know the answers — but because we aren't doing our homework.
 We need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels, dramatically accelerate climate finance, protect nature, and deploy renewable energy both rapidly and equitably. 
 Now is the moment when we must do all that we can to renew one of the key resources necessary for climate action: political will. theguardian.com/environment/…

Today, America looked into the abyss created by Donald Trump and my fervent hope is that even his enablers will now finally draw back in horror. And that today will serve as the beginning of healing our democracy.

There is no war on American energy. America should lead on clean energy! Smart leaders are tapping into this unprecedented opportunity. Doesn’t @RealDonaldTrump know that US solar jobs are growing 17X the average job growth? #SOTU

In the wake of the horrifying events at former President Trump’s rally today, we must join together to wholeheartedly and unequivocally condemn political violence. The former President and those affected today are in my prayers.

The President is imposing a rule that will increase pollution by nearly a billion tons of CO2 & result in drivers paying more at the pump. Bad policy & reckless timing as Americans cope w/ a pandemic exacerbated by air pollution. He must be held to account.theguardian.com/environment/…

The Trump administration justifies its rollback of methane standards by saying it will be a cost-saver for industry. But what about the costs to our health, and the costs of the climate crisis? We need to put people and our planet over polluters’ profits.

Thanks, @BillClinton. It was a privilege to serve our nation with you for those 8 yrs. Along with our team, we were able to do a lot of good for a lot of people.

I am not able to attend this year’s Democratic convention, but I will be voting for Hillary Clinton. (1/3)

I am proud to endorse my friend Joe Biden for President, and I'm looking forward to our virtual #EarthDay50 event at 2:30pm ET today. WATCH HERE: joebiden.com/live/

The movement continues. Please watch & share the new trailer for @aitruthfilm in theatres July 28th.#BeInconvenient

The great American poet Wallace Stevens wrote: “After the final no there comes a yes. And on that yes the future world depends.” Today, the US finally said yes to climate action. Let us embrace this moment as a tipping point for climate action – in America and around the world.

The devastation left by Hurricane Helene, including in my home state of TN, is a staggering and horrific reminder of the ways that the climate crisis can turbocharge extreme weather. Until we take serious action to solve this crisis, we will continue to see this climate chaos. yaleclimateconnections.org/2…

Thanks to President Macron for pledging to replace U.S. climate science funding. While you step up to fill the leadership void left by the Trump administration, America’s citizens, businesses, states & cities stand with you to meet our #ParisAgreement goals.

Our planet can't afford denial on climate or opposition to solutions. @HillaryClinton will work hard to solve the pressing issues we face.

Rosalynn Carter was a remarkable leader. Unwavering in her partnership with her husband, Jimmy, she built upon the work they did together by championing the causes of mental health, human rights, and the needs of children around the world. I was blessed to have been able to work alongside her on a number of issues and still fondly remember building homes together for Habitat for Humanity. My prayers are with the Carter family during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.

It's a mistake for the @DNC to refuse to hold a #ClimateDebate, on the most critical issue of this election. Why wouldn't the party listen to its voters and give a platform to Dem candidates' ideas on the #1 issue, to contrast with this President's denial?

One of my fondest memories with President Carter was joining him at a Habitat for Humanity project in Atlanta. Jimmy, your dedication to public service is an inspiration. Thank you for all that you’ve done for our country in your 99 years.

The President doesn’t get it. Solar & wind represent the fastest growing job sectors. Costs of renewable electricity are declining rapidly. There is a Global Sustainability Revolution happening & he’s boasting about more dirty & outdated oil and natural gas projects? #SOTU

Thanks @Trevornoah for having me on @TheDailyShow to talk about #24HoursofReality and how the climate crisis is impacting places like your home country of South Africa.

The climate crisis is the most pressing challenge we face & we need an EPA director who understands that. Senators should vote NO on Pruitt.

My message to the climate community today: bit.ly/2fDx1zK

I am profoundly saddened by the loss of Joe Lieberman. First and foremost, he was a man of devout faith and dedication to his family. My heart goes out to Hadassah, Hana, Matt, Rebecca, Ethan, his sisters, and all those grieving his loss. Joe was a man of deep integrity who dedicated his life to serving his country. He was a truly gifted leader, whose affable personality and strong will made him a force to be reckoned with. That’s why it came as no surprise to any of us who knew him when he’d start singing his favorite song: Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”. And doing things Joe’s way meant always putting his country and the values of equality and fairness first. His fierce dedication to these values was clear even as a young man. When he was about to travel to the South to join the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, he wrote: "I am going because there is much work to be done. I am an American. And this is one nation, or it is nothing.” Those are the words of a champion of civil rights and a true patriot, which is why I shared that quote when I announced Joe as my running mate. It was an honor to stand side-by-side with him on the campaign trail. I’ll remain forever grateful for his tireless efforts to build a better future for America.

On Christmas Eve, 50 years ago, our world was forever changed with ‘Earthrise’. After a tumultuous year, this powerful photo gave us a new perspective on our shared home. In 2019, let’s remember how fragile Earth is, and how much more we have in common than what divides us.

For climate advocates across the country, the outcome of this election means that all of us must find ways to redouble our efforts and find bipartisan solutions to the climate crisis that create jobs, promote prosperity and safeguard the future of humanity. In a moment such as this, it is important to remember that all major reform efforts, from civil rights to the climate movement, suffer dark days. And this is surely one. We can mourn a loss, but we can’t linger in despair. Our planet doesn’t have time for that. Now more than ever, this movement needs engagement and leadership from all corners of the country. During a down moment in the struggle for civil rights, Martin Luther King, Jr. said something about overcoming days like this: “If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” We know the line to solutions is never straight or easy. But we have won major victories in tackling the climate crisis and reducing climate pollution in our country, and we will again. My greatest source of hope comes from the courage and commitment of grassroots leaders and advocates in the U.S. and around the world who are relentlessly pushing for progress. Onward.

At #WEF23 I've been encouraging business leaders and policymakers to rapidly accelerate our transition to a net zero economy. I was thrilled to reconnect with my dear friend @MarinaSilva who is helping to transform Brazil into a true climate champion.

The chances for real progress at COP28 were badly damaged early this year when an oil company CEO was appointed to lead the negotiations. And now investigative journalists have confirmed some of the worst fears of those who criticized that absurd appointment with the shocking news that the President-designate has been using the meetings he has set up with nations around the world to sell more oil and gas. At the same time, the fossil fuel company he leads (the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) has been preparing to launch one of the largest expansions of oil and gas production of any company in the world — timed to begin immediately after COP28 concludes. Using international climate talks as leverage to shore up support for pumping more oil and gas at a time when we urgently need to phase out fossil fuels is — to say the least — utterly appalling.

All of us as Americans must condemn the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk in the strongest terms possible! In our nation, acts of political violence are attacks on democracy itself. I urge all Americans to join in a commitment to help steer our democracy away from the hatred and hyper-partisan divisions that have become all too common, and steer instead toward open, good faith debate among those with whom we disagree. My prayers are with the Kirk family.

People from every ideology are being convinced by new, startling climate assessments, and by Mother Nature. I have enormous respect for @MaxBoot. It's time to hold our elected leaders accountable to the reality we are facing. wapo.st/2FHGN4a?tid=ss_tw&ut…

It's time to join together in support of this bold #ClimateAction – and then accelerate our efforts to continue our work to move away from the dirty energy economy of the past and toward a sustainable future. 3/3

No deal is perfect and we need many more actions to solve the climate crisis. Yet, this bill is a long overdue and necessary step to ensure the US takes decisive action on the climate crisis that helps our economy and provides leadership for the world by example. 2/3

Today marks 1 year since President Trump announced plans to withdraw from the #ParisAgreement. Tomorrow marks 1 year since the rest of the world rejected this idea & doubled down, & American cities, states, & businesses started stepping up to fill the leadership void. #StillIn

I encourage @POTUS to try again on his response to the terrorism we witnessed in Charlottesville, VA this weekend.​ ow.ly/EJiK30enoHm

Good for Chris Wallace for asking serious and well-researched questions about the climate crisis in tonight’s debate. Millions of Americans are feeling the impacts today. Wallace has good news judgment, professional courage and INTEGRITY.

My statement on the passing of Senator John McCain.

The carmakers are reneging on a fair deal – in order to be bailed out by taxpayers, they agreed to strong emissions standards. Following through on this deal is critical to responding to the urgent threat of the climate crisis & ensuring that carmakers compete in future markets.

One of the most important lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic is that when scientists are warning about a looming threat, we all ought to listen. Today, the @IPCC_CH is once again sounding the alarm on the climate crisis and their warning is clearer than ever.

Brilliant decision for @TIME to choose @GretaThunberg as its Person of the Year. Greta embodies the moral authority of the youth activist movement demanding that we act immediately to solve the climate crisis. She is an inspiration to me and to people across the world.

Pope Francis will be remembered forever as the People’s Pope. He was a tireless champion for climate action because of his unwavering conviction that to truly care for one another and protect the most vulnerable among us, we must halt the destruction of God’s creation. His humble leadership on the climate crisis sparked a moral movement that will continue to light the way forward for humanity. His advocacy of social and economic justice inspired billions around the world. I am grateful to have known and worked with him. May God grant him eternal rest in heaven.

I call on the Trump Administration to make this Inconvenient report public. ow.ly/beu030efZWp

In its first week, the new administration has taken many steps to roll back climate progress. One I want to draw extra attention to is the repeal of an environmental justice Executive Order I was proud to champion in the Clinton-Gore White House. The video below shows a day's worth of harmful particulate pollution flowing into a part of America known as "Cancer Alley." 66.9% of residents of Cancer Alley are Black. The poverty rate is nearly 50% higher in Cancer Alley than in the country as a whole. It is one of the most heavily polluted areas in the United States and the town of Reserve, Louisiana has the highest cancer risk in the U.S., at 50 times the national average. Decades of discriminatory practices have turned low-income communities and communities of color across the country into dumping grounds for pollution. Environmental justice isn't part of some imaginary "woke agenda." The Executive Order that was repealed last week focused on ending discrimination, not perpetuating it. This is a disappointing setback for those who seek to put an end to this longstanding injustice. But environmental justice advocates are among the most active and effective voices in the global grassroots movement for environmental protection and climate action. I look forward to continuing to lock arms with them in our struggle for a cleaner future.

Thanks to the journalists, advocates, and citizens for exposing Mr. Pruitt as a destructive, unethical, and wasteful head of the #EPA. We must remain vigilant to ensure EPA is held accountable for doing its job and addressing the climate crisis.

Here’s a real national (and global) emergency: Greenhouse gas emissions have started increasing again. We need to urgently step up efforts to solve the climate crisis while there’s still time. nyti.ms/2H315pu

Americans are demanding a #ClimateDebate. It’s up to the DNC to give them one. DNC members: don’t hide from this opportunity to let candidates showcase their big ideas and solutions to the greatest threat facing our country and planet.

My statement on today's executive order: bit.ly/2mN1hic

Today, we lost a giant in the struggle for a better future, Jane Goodall. I deeply admired her advocacy for our natural world, which was both fearless and tireless. Her groundbreaking research helped increase humanity’s understanding of and respect for the animal kingdom and our natural world — and our understanding of ourselves. Jane could command a room with her wisdom and inspire a global movement with her compassion. I am proud to have called her a friend and will miss her terribly. May she rest in peace and may we all strive to continue her important work.

The decision at #COP28 to finally recognize that the climate crisis is, at its heart, a fossil fuel crisis is an important milestone. But it is also the bare minimum we need and is long overdue. The influence of petrostates is still evident in the half measures and loopholes included in the final agreement. Fossil fuel interests went all out to control the outcome, but the passionate work of millions of climate activists around the world inspired and motivated delegates from many nations to loosen the industry’s grip. Whether this is a turning point that truly marks the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era depends on the actions that come next and the mobilization of finance required to achieve them. We must ask ourselves how much longer will the world have wait before all nations summon the political will to overcome these narrow special interests and act on behalf of the future of humanity. It is up to all of us to hold our leaders accountable to their promise to transition away from fossil fuels once and for all.

Congratulations to @lopezobrador_ for his election as Mexico’s next President. Earlier this year we met to discuss his commitment to the climate crisis. Mexico can and should play a leading role in driving clean energy solutions & increase its ambition under the #ParisAgreement.

We will host Climate & Health Meeting to fill gap left by canceled CDC summit. ow.ly/5ijV308ogrK

What we should remember today and every day: We share Mother Earth as our only home. There is no Planet B. Happy #EarthDay everyone! Beautiful photo courtesy of @NASA’s #DSCOVR satellite.

.@TheDemocrats’ decision to sabotage a #ClimateDebate is extremely disappointing. Voters all over the U.S. are demanding we focus on the biggest threat to our nation and humanity’s future and prioritize solving the climate crisis instead of continuing business as usual.

In his speech today, the President erroneously pointed to natural gas as a clean energy solution. Fracking is a losing game – it produces a dangerous carbon fuel that’s worsening the climate crisis. 1/4

The awe-inspiring "Blue Marble" photo was taken 50 years ago today, yet each time I see it, it serves as a fresh reminder of our planet's beauty and fragility. This is humanity's only home, and we must do our best to protect it.

Throughout her life, Ethel Kennedy was a tireless champion for human rights. I will always admire her commitment to her faith and family. My condolences go out to the entire Kennedy family. Photo: @PatrickMcMullan

Tearing families apart and putting kids in an Archipelago of Cages is not the America that we know and love. We are at a fork in the road: one way is right; the other wrong. The President is long overdue in ending this cruel & inhumane policy.

Today marks the beginning of a new commitment to self-government by, of and for all of our people. Here’s my statement on @JoeBiden’s Presidential Election Victory. algore.com/news/statement-fr…

Save trees! (plus a global transition to clean energy, of course).

The Larsen C ice shelf has broken away from Antarctica, a jarring reminder of why we must solve the climate crisis. ow.ly/ez3x30dzd7z

Stephen Hawking's historic breakthroughs in science advanced humanity’s understanding of the universe even as the extraordinarily courageous life he led inspired us all. He will be greatly missed and will never be forgotten.

Ron Klain’s dedication to public service is unparalleled. His brilliance in navigating complex challenges, prioritizing the needs of the American people & delivering on @POTUS’s vision have made him an all-time great @WHCOS. This country is better off thanks to his leadership.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Robert Redford. His generational talent as an actor and director entertained and enlightened audiences around the world for decades, and his passion for independent film and documentaries played a historically crucial role in transforming them into powerful tools for change. And most significantly, he used his skills and extraordinary popularity to focus public attention on the fate of humanity and our planet.  He inspired people around the world to take action to protect the environment and address the climate crisis. I feel lucky to have called him a friend. To Sibylle and his family, to his friends and his fans, may we hold his memory close and may we each do our part to continue his work.

Five years since Hurricane Sandy, and dangerous storms continue to batter our coasts, with bigger downpours, flooding, and lives forever affected. We can, and we must act with urgency to solve the climate crisis. #Sandy5

US Senators who care about solving the climate crisis should oppose Tillerson today.

I offer my condolences to Lynne, Liz, Mary and the Cheney family as they grieve the passing of former Vice President Cheney. As a father, I was inspired by his fierce support of his daughter Liz’s honorable and patriotic leadership.

Today is the 15th anniversary of the release of An Inconvenient Truth. I’m inspired by those who've worked for decades to solve the climate crisis. We're finally crossing the political tipping point. So let's persist, #BeInconvenient & secure a sustainable future.

Fossil fuels are subsidized 38x more than renewables globally. Now the Canadian government wants to spend billions more of taxpayer dollars to increase its country’s contribution to the climate crisis. This is not in the public interest. We must keep fighting to #StopKM.

The fossil fuel industry has started to say the quiet part out loud a little more often: they want to continue pumping fossil fuels forever. And, of course, they are still pushing phony ‘solutions’ intended to delay real climate action. I explain in my latest from @TEDTalks. ted.com/talks/al_gore_what_t…

Using water cannons in subfreezing temperatures is inhumane. Justice requires non-violence by all. #NoDAPL

Today’s EPA announcement ignores the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis and sidelines the EPA’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry. Weakening safeguards that reduce greenhouse gas pollution will harm American competitiveness in a global economy that is moving away from oil, gas, and coal and will increase the suffering of communities that are overburdened by the dirty co-pollutants caused by burning fossil fuels.
