So honored to be named a Philly 40 under 40 by @CityAndStatePA! Looking forward to continue building the people power it takes to push good environmental and climate policy forward in PA! cityandstatepa.com/power-lists/20…

Congrats to our field director @flora_lucia for being recognized as a "rising star in Philly politics" on @cityandstatepa's Philadelphia Forty Under 40 List - cityandstatepa.com/power-lists/20…

RECENT WIN: We worked with @powerinterfaith, @votesolar, @CleanAirCouncil, @SierraClubPA, and @PSRPennsylvania to convince PECO to build a new 25 megawatt solar project! This is the largest utility solar project ever to be built to serve default service customers in PA history.


This feedback loop has haunted me for 13 years

As the Arctic warms faster than the rest of the planet, permafrost in that region is thawing and releasing carbon dioxide and methane. A new international study shows the thawing permafrost has been a net contributor to global warming in recent decades. go.nasa.gov/48NI2bV

Somehow this was the first thing I saw when I opened Twitter this morning and it was just what I needed

They want you to feel powerless and surrender and let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving.



Students waiting 2+ hours at Temple and 6+ hours at Lehigh to vote is unacceptable. Happy to see this massive youth turnout, but it’s way past time we give students the election infrastructure they need to make their voices heard!


Thankful we live in a state where @SenCappelletti could get the healthcare she needed and heartbroken that that is not the case in more and more states around the country.

Just days before voters go to the polls with abortion access a decisive issue for voters, State Sen. Amanda Cappelletti, a Democrat, is coming forward about her family’s latest heartbreaking loss. inquirer.com/politics/elect…

What if, instead of utility companies charging ratepayers $1.2 BILLION for hurricane-related costs, we made fossil fuel companies pay for the damage they are causing? #MakePollutersPay palmbeachpost.com/story/news/sta…


Philly hasn’t had rain in 30 days (with none in sight), while extreme flooding devastates Valencia. We need #ClimateActionNow

Scenes of piled-up vehicles in Valencia, Spain today after yesterday’s devastating flooding.

When we drill, we spill.

14 years after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, scientists are still finding new and disturbing things about the spill’s long-term impacts. New proposals to open up more of the ocean to drilling show that the lessons of the spill have not been learned. frontiergroup.org/resources/the-…

🧵: Yesterday, PennEnvironment released our updated report Renewables on the Rise 2024. So far, PA has been missing out on the renewable energy party happening nationwide, but it doesn't have to be that way!

Does anybody else think it's weird that we can't mobilize to stop climate change but within an incredibly short time span we've gone from having never heard of Chat GPT to building nuclear generators in order to feed its rapacious energy needs?

All the money flooding into AI is fueling a boom in hyperscale data center construction, and that has huge costs. It’s not just about water and energy, but companies are throwing their climate goals out the window — and even lobbying to change carbon accounting rules.



shouting from the rooftop 📢📢

We must not allow wasteful new uses of energy (like AI and crypto currency) derail our efforts to get off dirty and dangerous fuels environmentamerica.org/pennsylvania/c…



It's time to #cutmethane in PA!

Melissa Ostroff is testifying now, arguing that #Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection should treat the new federal EPA methane rules as a floor/bare minimum, and not a ceiling.

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurric…

➡️ NOW: An emotional hurricane #Milton update from @JohnMoralesTV as the storm hits Cat. 5 status. Take this seriously. We have you covered here on @nbc6

22 hours ago Milton was a tropical storm. Now it's a Cat 5 hurricane. This is what happens on an overheated earth.

Reminder: hurricane rapid intensification is a symptom of climate change, which is primarily caused by fossil fuels heated.world/p/calling-this…

Hurricane Milton is undergoing one of the fastest rapid intensifications ever observed in the Atlantic. It is now a 155 mph Category 4 storm, just 2 mph shy of Category 5 status. Not a single weather model predicted the storm would strengthen this quickly.



Flora Cardoni Reposted

The Gulf of Mexico is so warm that the models couldn't predict how strong Milton has gotten so quickly. This is not normal. This is a climate emergency.
