@TIME @GovKathyHochul does not deserve to be called a Climate Leader. We demand that you rescind this distinction as a Top 100 Climate Leader from your list.

We're hitting the streets of Brooklyn, collecting pledges from New Yorkers not to vote for @GovKathyHochul if she bends to pressure from @realDonaldTrump to build fracked gas pipelines. #NoTrumpPipelines

@GovKathyHochul parents have to pick up their children from school because the odors from Seneca Meadows Landfill is making them nauseous. Protect our kids and shut it down now!

@21MMforthe21st @CornellBitcoin the NCAC would like to meet with you and the club to discuss the human and climate impacts of PoW mining. Let us know when we can chat.
It’s official! @CornellBitcoin had its first ever meeting yesterday, February 8, 2024 (block height 829,572~). It was “Welcome, Intro & Definitions Day.” At most events, I’ve found people sit far away from each other and rarely in the front row….this was not the case

Passage of New York’s Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act (CLCPA) in 2019 engendered disharmony between preexisting laws and statutes and the lofty goals of the CLCPA. The Stop Climate Polluter Handouts Act would go a long way toward ameliorating this troubling tension.
Time to end fossil fuel subsidies in NYS ($1.6 billion annually) @GovKathyHochul! Please put #StopClimatePolluterHandouts (S3389/A7949) in your Executive Budget.

Bitcoin was meant to be a global revolution, to circumvent the power of traditional finance & put power in the hands of the people. Instead it's become a global climate disaster increasingly powered by the same traditional finance system it was meant to supplant. #CleanUpBitcoin

Bitcoin is polluting our planet, and frontline climate activists like @CCofNavarro are fighting back to protect their communities from companies like @RiotPlatforms who are profiting from Bitcoin’s growing (and completely unnecessary) air, water, & noise pollution #CleanUpBitcoin
Targeting high water use, energy waste, and round-the-clock noise, skeptics are challenging #Bitcoin efforts in Navarro County and the state of #Texas, the author of ‘Let Them Eat Crypto’ writes. #blockchain #crypto #energy #climate @PeterJHowson

Extending the life of Seneca Meadows landfill isn’t just a Finger Lakes problem. @GovKathyHochul ‘s hometown took nearly 41 million gallons of PFAS laden leachate that was dumped, untreated, into the Niagara River. Time to shut it down.

#Bitcoin is the growing climate problem you’re not paying attention to. Last week, we revealed how major banks, asset managers, and payment processors are accelerating Bitcoin’s climate destruction. tl;dr: @BlackRock and @Chase are the worst offenders. https://t.co/d5lDe6Vbq5

Bitcoin consumes as much electricity as entire countries, and 62% of the electricity used for Bitcoin mining globally in 2022 came from fossil fuels. Bitcoin’s energy-hungry technology has revived...

Some more Bitcoin myth-busting: ❓ Advocates of expanding Bitcoin mining sites will claim economic stimulus and jobs as a local benefit. ✔️ This never pans out. THREAD:
