@daveweigel What is raising costs for Americans right now?
Our dependence on oil and fossil fuels or wind and solar power?
English
Slotkin's been fairly lonely on this, opposing EV mandates and warning that Dems can't win back voters if they think they're raising their costs for a green agenda.

👀 Slotkin to @daveweigel: "The average American is going to struggle to care about climate change if they can’t figure out how to pay their rent... The environmental movement, in general, needs to adjust, and say: We can’t just be about stopping things." semafor.com/article/05/11/…

@daveweigel How many jobs has Trump’s war or wind and renewable energy cost?
How many good paying construction jobs got wiped out when he cancelled planned projects?
Maybe you could actually report on something like this instead of parroting the anti-environmentalist position here.

@eschor @daveweigel Hey you know what is raising costs for Americans and harming the economy right now?
Our dependence on fossil fuels.
You know what doesn’t increase when the strait of Hormuz is closed? The cost of wind and solar power.

@neeratanden @TaylorLorenz Neera Tanden: I wasn’t at the content creator event with Joe Biden.
The Biden White House: Neera Tanden and Joe Biden were at the content creator event.
Chuck (Taylor's Version)@Jamie_Maz
@NathanJRobinson this is the Biden White House page for the event. participants include Joe Biden and Neera Tanden. bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/whcec/

Hi @taylorLorenz - I wasn't at this with Joe Biden as I said. This was a mental health panel. Above you say I "asked people to raise their hands if they want to remove anonymity online." Any evidence for this anywhere? It's not in your notes. Since this event is online I'm sure no problem to find some evidence for the claims you made in this podcast.
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz
@neeratanden Hi Neera, here’s confirmation from the White House that u did actually attend the content creator event Biden was at and that you did host the panel. Here are your comments that I reported directly from your appearance. Here’s you on video from the event, hosting the panel.

All those people who shouted down the climate protestors blocking the road to burning man are now trapped in a flash flood.

🚨#BREAKING: Burning Man Festival Declares National Emergency as over 73,000 Campers are trapped Urged to Shelter in Place Amid Flooding Crisis 📌#Blackrock | #Nevada Currently, more than 73,000 festival attendees and campers are trapped with no access in or out of the Burning Man festival that takes place in Black Rock City, Nevada. This situation has arisen after a heavy overnight rainstorm transformed the once dry, dusty desert into an undrivable mud pit, causing disastrous conditions. Festival-goers have been asked to shelter in place and conserve food and water due to the poor conditions. Travelers were informed that burning man festival is closed, and anyone heading to the festival will be turned away, as a national emergency has been declared at the festival.

Smoky morning. In NYC it’s a whopping 100+ ug/m3. And even in Boston where it *looks* much better outside it’s still above 30.
For reference:
—> current health-based limit is 12
—> stricter proposed standard is 8
—> indoors at Harvard w upgraded filtration? < 5

Read the account of a trans student at BC who is not allowed to live in housing of her gender identity.
BC’s policies continue to cause harm to trans students in a multitude of ways.
In 2023 it’s not just unacceptable it’s infuriating.

@bcheights @BC_CSON Weird to have a major in "globa health and the common good" when you are still invested in fossil fuels.

Boston College will offer a new major in global public health and the common good administered by the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society and @BC_CSON bcheights.com/2022/12/01/bc-…

Is it getting hotter? You be the judge. ➡️ Global heat records in June continually being broken across the world as the global average temperature rises.

A huge thank you to @tiziana_dearing for asking about divestment and @BostonCollege’s sanctions against CJBC during yesterday’s @BCSchillerInst event! ❤️🌍
BC needs to divest from fossil fuel and stop punishing student activists for demanding action on climate change.
English
During this time @BostonCollege invested in and profited off of companies responsible for these deaths.

.@BostonCollege is investing money in these criminals right now.
Why let a little human suffering and destruction of the planet get in the way of making money.

How dire is the UN climate report? Listen to UN Sec. Gen. Guterres: “I have seen many scientific reports in my time but nothing like this - an atlas of human suffering. This abdication of leadership is criminal. The world’s biggest polluters are guilty of arson of our home."
English
"Between 2010 and 2020, 15 times more people died from floods, droughts and storms in very vulnerable regions including parts of Africa, South Asia and Central and South America, than in other parts of the world."
This is what BC is still investing in. bbc.com/news/science-e…
