Friday news dump that sells out Ohio voters, spreads lies on natural gas being "green", and open up public lands for fracking.
Proud of the work @OECActionFund and others have done to pressure the Governor, it is telling he tried to hide this signing.

This is a great example of how cities can invest in a fighting climate change with its own infrastructure investments. Not only is this investment good for our environment but it’s good for the Columbus’ bottom line as it will pay for itself over time #itsalwaysinfrastructureweek
Led by @RobDorans, Council passed ordinance 2238-2021 to install a $30,134,734 cogeneration system at Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. The new system uses methane-rich biogas from the wastewater to create about half the electricity the plant uses. #CCC4U

Once again, *every single ad* we try to run for @degreespod on Facebook and Twitter is rejected because we mention climate change. We've tried every watered-down variation you can think of, and they still won't let us promote any of our climate podcasts.

Global warming's biggest impact locally? Heat waves.
Scientists say extreme heat days will increase exponentially in Columbus and elsewhere in Ohio, giving us Deep South-like summers by late century.

Thread: Introducing Climate Columbus, a new @nbc4i reporting project.
Here in Central Ohio, we're pretty insulated from the most disastrous effects of the #ClimateCrisis — hurricanes, wildfires, sea rise.
But we're not exempt. nbc4i.com/weather/climate-co…

Fundamentally, when a country approves a new coal, oil or gas extraction project, a new pipeline, or a new fossil-fuelled power station, they're doing so in full knowledge of exactly how much physical harm they are causing to us.
Will be useful for court records.
#IPCC
All 195 governments which form the #IPCC have approved every single word in the Summary for Policymakers as an accurate description of the underlying scientific evidence.
They all understand the evidence, the consequences experienced now & the substantial risks for the future.
Alex Slaymaker retweeted
I’m honestly struggling to find any words left to describe the full horror we face & the urgency with which we need to act to avert its worst
How many times do we need to repeat that time is running out?
What more can it take before political leaders act? theguardian.com/environment/…

When I say electric vehicles are the future, I’m not joking. Tune in for big news tomorrow.

And that's why this new IPCC report is so blunt. Climate change isn't just one more priority on our already over-crowded list. It is a threat multiplier that affects every single other priority already on it, from the air we breathe to the food we eat.

Kyle has been an invaluable voice in the Columbus Partnership’s racial equity discussions and will be a great participant in the Civilian Review Board. Surely, we can all agree that the loss of another Black life this week is a tragedy.

Today I testified before Ohio House and Senate committees to express my opposition to HB 118 & SB 52, proposed legislation that would create significant challenges for Ohio businesses and organizations by creating undue barriers to clean energy generation in Ohio. (1/4)

Black people get pulled over and don’t make it out alive. We can’t sleep in our own beds without being killed. We can’t jog without being killed. We can’t walk down the street with our hoodies up without being killed but they can do this???

hey @NewsHour thx for your coverage. but please stop referring to these terrorists as protestors.
it implies that anything they are doing is equivalent to folks who spend their time peacefully exercising their 1st amendment rights. this is a treasonous attempt at a coup.
