In 2024, manifestations of a changed climate "continued to be felt increasingly across the world, even as the clean-energy transition continued to gather pace against formidable headwinds."
The #DoomsdayClock statement sidebar on climate change:

ALT White text on black background: "Major climate indicators showed 2023 to be the warmest year in the 174-year observational record, with the highest measured level of ocean heat content, the highest global mean sea level on record, and the lowest measured Antarctic sea-ice extent—and 2024 is on track to be even warmer." —The Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The logo is in the bottom right corner, with the phrase "It is 89 seconds to midnight."
The Climate and Clean Energy Plan invests in communities, protects health, and slashes climate pollution. Rolling back climate progress would be a disaster for our communities: Congress must #StandStrongForClimate to protect a healthier, safer future for all!
No one should die at work and extreme heat can be deadly! We’re proud to join over 85 health organizations in sending a letter urging @OSHA_DOL to finalize and implement its heat standard to protect workers. Read it here: bit.ly/Letter-OSHA

Kids are especially sensitive to the harmful pollutants released by oil & gas, yet they have no voice in the decisions that harm their future. This Act is essential to protect their health, hold fossil fuel companies accountable & ensure a safe, clean environment for the future.
This shouldn’t be controversial: big polluters should pay to clean up their mess, and those who pollute the most should pay the most.
Today I reintroduced my Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act to tackle the climate crisis and hold big polluters accountable. It's time to make it law.

🧵A powerful moment in Oslo today: Nihon Hidankyo accepted the #NobelPeacePrize.
As co-chair Terumi Tanaka stated: “We must not allow the possession of a single nuclear weapon. I plead for everyone to discuss how to eliminate nuclear weapons and demand action from governments."
Today, we celebrate the hibakusha for the #NobelPrize but not just that. Today we also celebrate their resilience. Without their stories and unwavering dedication, the UN treaty banning nuclear weapons (#NuclearBan) wouldn’t be a reality. #HoldtheMemory🖼️
It's clear given the elections that the challenges to planetary health will be expanding—from climate policy rollbacks to growing nuclear risks. This demands bold action, and you are key to our response. Consider donating to PSR Maine this #GivingTuesday
