@ClimateCrisis

@ClimateCrisis Honoring late @RepMcEachin with a moment of silence, Chair Castor said: “In Congress, he changed the conversation on climate change. Environmental justice was at the heart of his work.... I trust that his example will inspire all of us to be faithful public servants.”

@USRepKCastor

In her opening statement, Chair @USRepKCastor lays out the importance of bold action.

@POTUS

2022 was the most important year for climate action in U.S. history.

The IRA was signed into law. @POTUS took numerous climate actions. But we can't meet our climate goals without state action — and that's exactly what happened in 2022.

THREAD of state clean energy wins 🧵👇

California led the charge on electric vehicles and climate funding, instituting the nation-leading Advanced Clean Cars II rule that requires all new cars sold after 2035 are electric 🚗

The state's last budget also included an unprecedented $54 billion to combat climate change.

Colorado continued to raise the bar for methane emission protections 🌎

✅ Adopted rules that nearly doubled oil and gas extraction site inspections
✅ Tightened standards for methane leaks
✅ Changed well clean-up rules to ensure companies cover costs

Abortion rights aren't the only thing on the line with this captured, extremist Supreme Court. The very future of our planet is as well.

#WVvEPA could be the most consequential environmental Supreme Court case in decades.

THREAD 🧵👇 vox.com/2022/2/23/2293…

@EPA

#WVvEPA is a Supreme Court case about the @EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act.

SCOTUS already ruled that the EPA can and *must* regulate climate pollution, but extremists have captured SCOTUS, putting our planet at stake.

@EPA

@EPA If SCOTUS sides with the West Virginia plaintiffs — who are arguing that Congress has not given the EPA authority to take action against climate change — it could hamstring not only the EPA, but other federal agencies that protect us from powerful corporate interests. #WVvEPA

@RepJoeNeguse

HAPPENING NOW 📣 @RepJoeNeguse is over on our Twitter handle to discuss how clean energy wins in his home state of Colorado can serve as a model for policies at the national level.

Hi! This is @RepNeguse 👋 tweeting with LCV to talk about #CleanEnergyForAll in Colorado and across the country.

This is a core issue for me: before taking office, I co-founded the non-profit New Era Colorado to engage youth efforts to #ActOnClimate using clean energy solutions.

@ClimateCrisis

In Congress, I am proud to serve on the Select Committee on the @ClimateCrisis and be a member of the climate action based caucus @SEEC. We listen to people across the country who are affected by climate change and develop legislative solutions to tackle the climate crisis.

Climate change deserves serious time during the #DemDebate in Detroit. We face an urgent crisis and candidates must tell us how they plan to #ActOnClimate.

Read up on on why climate affects nearly every issue facing the country, from healthcare to immigration (1/x)

Last month, 74 medical and public health groups came together to call climate change “a health emergency.”

They've asked candidates to “meet and strengthen US commitments” under the 2015 UN climate agreement from which Trump has vowed to withdraw.

The WHO has called climate change "the greatest health challenge of the 21st century.”

It affects healthcare on a personal level.

Doctors now explain to patients why breathing problems may be linked to longer allergy seasons associated w/ climate change
