Interested in learning more about what assistance you can get from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act climate legislation to help you decarbonize so that you're no longer warming our globe? Webinar on September 7th.

“The findings came on the heels of the revelation last week by #GlacierMedia that #FortisBC, BC’s gas utility, demanded a report be altered to remove information that noted #HeatPumps and #electricity are more efficient ways to #decarbonize. The company also instructed the report’s authors to remove a section stating Vancouver’s municipal ban on natural gas in new buildings should be introduced province-wide.”

Biden's Inflation Reduction Act #IRA looks like it is going to reduce the USA's carbon emissions by 4%/year which is GREAT progress, but we've got to more.

Individuals, especially all the rich Americans, can help us to get to where we need to be though by choosing to #decarbonize now.

It has only been the last few years that a majority of Americans have started to accept our scientific consensus on climate change, but more and more surveys are suggesting it's finally happening.

The true test will be on how fast they #decarbonize though and of course on whether or not they vote for Democrats because if they don't than they don't they are climate science deniers.

Behind the meter solar is providing almost a third of the electricity powering this grid in New England. #WeCanDoThis #ClimateProgress

There's no better time to #decarbonize than now unless you already have!

Texas has 3.3GW of battery capacity operating today. That number is expected to double by the end of next year, a trend which will continue at least through this decade. #WeCanDoThis #Decarbonize

@the_Effekt
It is going to require for more of us to aggressively attempt to influence towards decarbonizing their lives in order to help hasten the demise of the fossil fuel industry by taking away their power, $$$$

Demonetize the #FossilFools so that everyone can #Decarbonize quicker!

When the gas- and electric-powered HVAC unit responsible for heating the sanctuary of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Davis, California, failed in the winter of 2016-2017, rather than prioritize comfort and rush to a fix, members layered sweaters, vests and outerwear against the cold during Sunday worship services.

“We spent a winter freezing,” so that we could #Decarbonize our church.

To #decarbonize the #housing sector, we need to go from 66 million fossil fuel #heatingsystems to zero over the next three decades. 
In order to achieve this goal, we need to phase out 2.4 million #fossilfuel #furnaces every single year for the next 27 years. This is where the math gets a little scary.

Who screwed up the DC area by installing gas water, heat, cooking, laundry into every house. This is going to take me forever to #decarbonize

There's never been more choice in the electric bicycle market than we now see, and #ebikes are a great way to #decarbonize your #commute, reduce #congestion and improve your #health to boot!

But how do you go about choosing a good one? We've got you covered!

We can do this unless too many people don't believe that we can #Decarbonize #ClimateProgress

The World Economic Forum has launched a global initiative to decarbonize the aviation sector, which is responsible for about 2% of global CO2 emissions. The initiative, called Clean Skies for Tomorrow, aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels, electric and hydrogen aircraft, and carbon removal technologies. The initiative also seeks to align the aviation industry with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

It's integral to the #ClimateDiary #ClimateChange conversation considering our need to #decarbonise (#decarbonize for us Americans) quickly!

Major investment by NZ Govt into helping #NZSteel #decarbonize steel production.

Media announcement today. NZ Steel's Glenbrook plant will install an electric arc furnace - halving its coal use - in what the government is calling the country's largest ever emissions reduction project.

Half of the coal being used at the site will be replaced with electricity to recycle scrap steel.
