@realDonaldTrump These fossil fuel toadies are so used to bullying others for the fossil fuel industry, that they have forgotten what it’s like to take on a real state. I can hardly wait for the D-I-S-C-O-V-E-R-Y of who’s pulling the strings behind this bad-faith effort. https://t.co/4FTvbVxxE9 — PolitiTweet.org

Speaking of creepy old men, looks like Trump couldn’t help jumping in . . . https://t.co/8GlEe20Ch7 — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuel liars ignore this problem, but that doesn’t make it go away. — PolitiTweet.org

Punchline: @bankofengland regulatory warning that “‘stranded assets’—the coal, gas, and oil that need to be left underground—amount to a 20-trillion-dollar ‘carbon bubble’ that far exceeds the housing bubble that sparked the 2008 financial conflagration.” — PolitiTweet.org

Tell me that doesn’t fit climate denial to a T. https://t.co/6wy7CsB232 — PolitiTweet.org

. . . and when this is the best Trump can do to defend his environmental record, that tells you all you need to know. https://t.co/f1wez9VJ7P — PolitiTweet.org

Under @realDonaldTrump, three quarters of Americans worried about environment. And for good reason. https://t.co/SVv7z7B3eR — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to join @mfgri Congressional Manufacturing Summit. I’m committed to making sure innovative RI manufacturers can compete in the global marketplace & support their workforce. https://t.co/NAMkj6h7Fh — PolitiTweet.org

Trump rollbacks on carbon pollution move U.S. towards 4C warming -- WAY past point of no return. @InfluenceMap shows @USChamber & @ShopFloorNAM driving this. WHY? Boards MUST answer. https://t.co/yZe2dt0O1J — PolitiTweet.org

Worse still, it’s systematic. This is how climate deniers roll. https://t.co/hUUxkawc5X — PolitiTweet.org

At some point, will old, right-wing men stop trolling Greta Thunberg? It’s really gotten gross. I guess when your morals have been corroded by years of climate denial, this doesn’t seem so gross to you — but folks, it’s gross. https://t.co/YXLAGyqZKG — PolitiTweet.org

@PostOpinions My bill with Sen. Grassley had a hearing, Chairman Graham is working on Judiciary markup, and we are coordinating w Banking Committee on reconciling Senate bills. Shell corporation sewer needs to be flushed clean. — PolitiTweet.org

@PostOpinions As Gen. Petraeus and I have said, this is the unattended security issue of our time. https://t.co/OXyYGSYdgo — PolitiTweet.org

.@blackrock is weird. They pushed @exxonmobil for climate report — good. They accepted a bogus Exxon climate report — not good. They are worst at voting proxies on climate — bad. And political effort on climate remains at zero. Seriously, guys? https://t.co/TLe3VCCZY4 — PolitiTweet.org

Equatorial storm belt loaded up with storms; Imelda hitting Texas with “major, catastrophic flooding,” per National Weather Service. Nuthin’ going on with climate though. . . pay no attention. https://t.co/Ds4c4Xsfoa — PolitiTweet.org

Set aside fossil fuel scoundrels, still up to no good. The REST of corporate America sucks, many supporting climate obstructors like @USChamber and @ceidotorg. America’s net corporate presence strongly anti climate action in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

.@alroker chimes in on climate change. Too bad corporate America won’t make climate a political priority. https://t.co/70VGt4dr4F — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

The open question is the members who still support top obstructors of progress like @USChamber and Nat’l Assn of Manufacturers. (Both IMO captive front groups for fossil fuel interests.) — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Obviously, I support the Climate Leadership Council on the merits, as my climate fee bill is very like their proposal, and I wish them well. https://t.co/Eqd2ldBf3H — PolitiTweet.org

This is what happens when you get an innovative mayor like @davidcicilline letting a brilliant woman like Hillary unleash her talents — RI surges to national leadership. https://t.co/sEP2hdfpYg — PolitiTweet.org

So far this year, Brazil’s Amazon region has seen over 40,000 fires. The air has gotten so thick with smoke in Porto Velho, a city in the upper Amazon basin, that over 400 children landed in a local hospital with respiratory problems in the first three weeks of August. https://t.co/wVCd4JMPqP — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrating 30th anniversary of #NationalRecoveryMonth at Bristol Rally4Recovery. I’m going to keep fighting to expand prevention, treatment & recovery programs. We need to make sure resources are there when someone struggling with the disease of addiction reaches out for help. https://t.co/4LeEJ0pKBS — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon not supporting Myron Ebell’s climate-denying “Competitive Enterprise Institute” would be a good start. We caught @amazon in the act. https://t.co/GUPpUMQZHY — PolitiTweet.org
