Incredible news. Zooey Zephyr, my fiancée, was re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives, getting 83% of the vote. Many of you will remember her for standing up for trans people in Montana, and then getting censured and kicked off the House floor. I'm so proud of her.

It is an honor to have been re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives. And I promise to do as I have always done: fight for my constituents, stand up against those who seek to break democracy, and be a bulwark against the rising tide of American fascism.

This will be a really interesting discussion but I'm not sure about the career vs climate action framing, I think it's a bit more nuanced than that (and I'm sure the discussion will be)...

A rocketing bus fare rise hits young people, families and all those who can't afford a car. It entrenches years of unequal burdens, is the opposite of a progressive transport pricing policy, and means less for better travel across the country. Incredibly poor. #Budget2024

This is why it’s wrong to freeze fuel duty while hiking bus fares by 50%.

Air-pollution related deaths have REDUCED by 7% since 2016, and 59% of this reduction is due to reduced coal burning - change is possible!
English
But signs of progress!! Growing renewable energy (unevenly distributed) - 10.5% of global energies are renewable. Creation of jobs in clean energy industry, exceeding jobs in extractive industries.

Since 2021 there's been a DECLINE in government engagement in climate and health (but still better than 2016)

Listening live to todays key event... launch of #LancetClimate24 report. This comprehensively tracks progress on climate and health. Headline - it's pretty scary - most indicators continue to get worse... BUT so much we can do
Here's a thread of key findings per @MarinaRomanello

Fossil fuel companies have huge role to play... 114 of the biggest companies have EXPANDED production plans and on track to exceed Paris Agreement compatible levels by 189%. These assets will be lost, because we will transition. Need to redirect funds to healthier future...
English
But the action of governments and companies continue to put all of our health at risk...
Energy sector emissions grow year on year, and continue to be carbon-reliant. Huge impact of this on health (2.4 billion people rely on dirty fuels for energy needs, and 30% rely on biomass)
