Welcome back to HEATED, and happy belated Earth Day! Longtime readers will recall that I’m usually not a big fan of this holiday, but this year I celebrated by being part of a climate game show hosted by environmentalist drag queen Pattie Gonia. More on that another time, but it was the best time I’ve had at a climate event in… perhaps forever? Also, I won.
Anyway, today’s newsletter is a written post, but if you’d rather watch or listen, you can click the audio link at the top of the newsletter or scroll down to the bottom to find the YouTube video. The audio and video versions also dig a little deeper into the oil industry’s disinformation campaign surrounding the bill.
Thank you for being here and enjoy (I guess?) the info! And if you didn’t do anything for Earth Day, one great thing you could still do for the planet is support independent, ad-free, billionaire-free climate accountability journalism.
