Big win! New EPA rules will help protect our health and climate by cutting methane pollution from oil and gas operations. Thanks President Biden! #cutmethane #txclimate

Finally, this heat dome is 5x more likely due to climate change. We have loaded the dice & increased the odds (and continue to do so) of killer heat waves. It's plenty bad now, but we'll experience greater frequency, duration, & severity over time. #txlege #txclimate

New drought stats are out and the trend is not our friend.

For DFW, every day in January has been above normal for temperatures. And no real rain in a month.

La Niña is flexing right now.

Dove into the 2022 data for DFW. Monthly average, temps were above normal for 9 of the 12 months. Paired with the annual dept from normal precip for the year, looks like La Niña verified.

For the first time ever, the state of Texas has completed a greenhouse gas inventory. TCEQ has identified priority measures which could reduce GHGs by 174 million metric tons (MMT) from 2025 through 2030 and 592 MMT from 2025 through 2050. #txclimate epa.gov/system/files/d…

👀 How much water 💦 is #SATX using? Average production this past week was 𝟑𝟐𝟎.𝟖 𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐬 per day — the highest in the past 13 years! #txdrought #txclimate

Congrats to City of Austin for winning $1 million grant from U.S. EPA to coordinate action on climate change with other local governments #txclimate

Excited to hear Prof Michael E. Mann at the “Climate Science: The Good, The Bad, and The Wicked” Conference. #txclimate

It’s not even summer and water is already running short in parts of Texas. #txlege needs to understand that Texas is in the crosshairs of #climatechange . #txclimate texastribune.org/2024/04/18/sou…

No state could reduce pollution more than TX - 12.4 MMT of CO2 avoided in 2033 - by ending mandates on parking, minimum lot sizes, setbacks; legalizing ADUs; and other land use reform #txclimate

This is fine. #txlege #txclimate

This historic federal investment clean energy will help low-income and disadvantaged communities across Texas—cutting power bills AND climate emissions. #txlege #txclimate houstonchronicle.com/business/energ…

#ERCOT treats 2011 as an outlier. It was not. Mild/average summers are now outliers. Planners need to *expect* extremes from here on. The climate has already changed & the rate of change is increasing. Climate denial puts us in danger. #txclimate #txlege

TX will receive over $400 million in #SolarForAll funding! This historic federal investment in clean energy will help low-income & disadvantaged communities across Texas reduce power bills + climate emissions while also reducing stress and demand on the grid. #txlege #txclimate

More than $400 million in federal Solar For All money is coming to Texas. Texans need access to this clean, cost-saving energy, and Texas needs these strategies to fight #climatechange . #txlege #txclimate houstonchronicle.com/business/energ…

“Climate change will not wait for us to act. If we’re not willing to invest in our future, extreme weather will only get worse and the reliability of basic things like clean air, fresh water, and available electricity will diminish.” #txclimate
