It’s hard to imagine a better use for AI than @EvidenceOpen. Daniel Nadler and his world-class team at OpenEvidence are building what I believe will become an AI-era treasure—a life-saving resource for doctors, patients, and their families. I can’t imagine the future without

I'm thrilled to share the @speedandscale 2024 Global Climate Tracker. It shows where progress toward net zero has been made, where it's lagging, and what we need to do to get there in time. Dig in. https://t.co/ME3oErBLuJ

It’s one thing to announce a net zero target. It’s a another thing entirely to sign contracts to deliver on it. Huge props to JPMorgan for inking some major carbon removal purchases. We’re stoked to go put another 28,585 tCO₂ underground @CharmIndustrial

The bank will invest more than $200 million to purchase credits from several companies, boosting an industry that has removed only small amounts of carbon.

Thank you @POTUS for signing the historic #InflationReductionAct into law and making clean energy more affordable for all Americans. This new legislation will cut U.S. emissions by 40% by 2030 – getting us closer to our climate goals and helping us secure a habitable future.
The Inflation Reduction Act will help save money on prescription drugs, cut health care premiums, cut energy costs, take aggressive action on climate, and make large corporations pay their fair share in taxes. We got it done.

The catalyst for my involvement in climate action was my daughter, Mary. She held me accountable all those years back, & she continues to push me to act with @speedandscale. This moment is for Mary, her generation, and all those to come. Father to father, thank you @brianschatz.

The Inflation Reduction Act is groundbreaking policy for the U.S. and the world in the fight on climate change. Let’s get this done—with speed & scale.
🚨 Projected to reduce carbon emissions roughly 40% by 2030, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is amazing progress on congressional climate legislation. 🚨 Here’s a breakdown of just some of the bill's actions by our @speedandscale OKRs. ⬇️

With so many factors involved, it can be hard to keep track of exactly which indicators are moving in the right direction. A new site collects the data in one place.
