🚨 Next week, the Senate will take up consideration of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, a global treaty to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Here's why that's a big deal...

Avid foodies, even environmentally-minded ones, all seem to balk at the idea that you can cook well without gas. Well, @MelissaClark is a fan of induction, what other endorsement might you need?

As the perils of gas stoves become more apparent, there’s ever more reason for cooks to turn to these flameless, easy-to-clean ranges.

I've seen this shift within my own community of start-up friends. We need all the best 🧠 working on the #ClimateCrisis!
A YC partner told me about a new pattern they're seeing: a lot of the smartest and most ambitious founders are working on companies addressing climate change. There are 25 in the current YC batch.

The #CleanEnergy transition is here and it's not turning back
Duke Energy Corp. intends to close the rest of its coal plants by 2035 and more than double its renewable capacity by 2030 as part of a massive — and expensive — clean energy push. https://t.co/3agNsPP00c

.@NOAA estimates that weather disasters have cost the US $750B in the past 5 years ($145B in 2021 alone). Context: #BuildBackBetter invests $555B over the next 10 years for addressing the #ClimateCrisis. We can't afford to not act. https://t.co/vCXzg7A3HB

2021 was the second consecutive year with 20 or more billion-dollar disasters in the US, totalling more than $145 billion.

In the 1980s, there was one billion-dollar event every four months, on average. Now, there's one every ~3 weeks. Why? Three reasons: increasing exposure, increasing vulnerability, and the big one, increasing severity and/or frequency of weather extremes fueled by a warming world.
The U.S. experienced 20 #BillionDollarDisasters in 2021: 8 severe weather events, 4 tropical cyclone events, 3 tornado outbreaks, 2 flooding events, 1 drought/heat wave event, 1 winter storm/cold wave event, and 1 wildfire event. https://t.co/JsagEAt3P5

🎄Merry Christmas! May any coal in your life be found just in your stocking and not your electricity source. ⛄
This is huge! India halting all new coal power plants even as electricity demand is projected to grow 3x would a game changer for climate. The US, on the other hand, with far more resources & far less dependent on coal can't even commit to phasing it out.

Sometimes the #ClimateCrisis feels overwhelming. Always important to step back and acknowledge that the organizing and political pressure are working and we are getting wins that felt unimaginable a decade ago. #ClimateJustice

OMG it’s Friday already! Now what’s happening at #COP26? For the dazed and confused here’s a thread which I hope might help explain the issues on this last day of the conference (except it won’t be - it’s obvious now this will go into Saturday). 🧵 /1
