Making plastic is the oil industry's exit strategy. Burning it creates incredible air pollution, and recycling it is sufficiently low-value that people burn it just to be rid of the stuff.
It's well past time to limit plastic manufacturing.

Biden has really sharply cut oil and gas leasing.
This is important because once a lease is issued, it's treated as a property right to drill and extract, which makes it much harder to fight.
It's by far the most effective leave-it-in-the-ground measure the President has.

Such a huge contrast between the big oil industry bets on continued increases in oil and gas consumption and the IEA report. That kind of levering up means that fossil fuel investors will lose big if we succeed in stabilizing temperatures. Makes it a really good time to divest from the fossil fuels industry if you haven't.

Just a reminder: the Republican version of the FAA reauthorization bill requires airports to keep on selling leaded fuel in perpetuity, and not replace it with an unleaded fuel which works in all small planes. Let your congressmember know you want lead gone
You can also ban leaded aviation gas locally, as some communities in California and Colorado are doing.

@npub1hgr…2e7r @npub1e2c…xwvg its worth mentioning that there is a very chance that the FDA will approve a quite expensive cure for sickle cell in the next year or so. Having a public registry of patients would likely result in pressure on government to ensure that they get treatment.

The New York Times (finally!) runs an article about the rather significant connection between the warming caused by dumping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the series of incredible wildfire years we've had.
Gift link skips the paywall for the next two weeks.

Unsurprisingly, it looks like #Alito has some major conflicts of interest when it comes to dealing with the fossil fuels industry, and not just a bribery-through-fancy-vacations problem.

It looks like the #smoke from wildfires in Canada has reached France, Portugal, and Spain.

The New York Times is running an article about how climate shocks are making large parts of the US uninsurable as their lead article. Other outlets covered the specifics of State Farm ending new homeowners policies in California first, but they're providing broader context.
Gift link makes access to the article free for the next couple weeks.

This is an interesting discussion between an LA Times reporter and the head of the California Coastal Commission on how property rights interact with sea level rise when you consider everything below the high tide line to be public.
