This a very clear, simple and engaging description of the Earth’s carbon cycle, and why it is now in such upheaval. https://t.co/cUtGojzXGE — PolitiTweet.org

My God, look at what this judge and the prosecutors had to go through to get corporate polluters at @CarnivalPLC to clean up their act. Rogue corporations are hard to restrain. https://t.co/pZf3kmTI7i — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, Cousin Vira Whitehouse, for your work years ago to make this happen. https://t.co/xtBtSFKvXx — PolitiTweet.org

100 years ago, Congress passed the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. Today is a reminder that we are capable of great things and sweeping change when people come together to advocate for their rights. #19thAt100 https://t.co/MnmCLhh02p — PolitiTweet.org

That’s the arc of humanity, from Pope Francis to #ChamberofCarbon. Ugh. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

In Aberdeen I warned Oil & Gas UK companies they needed to get a leash on their U.S. affiliates, & demand full accounting of secret spending for climate obstruction. Perfect example: #ChamberofCarbon chumping corporate members while taking secret fossil fuel money in back room. — PolitiTweet.org

And even for those scoundrels, climate action is safer path, if they would look at big picture. Drunk with short-term greed, powered with dark money, they are driving the world off a climate cliff. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

To be clear, even the "financial ledger" is on the side of climate action, unless you are the fossil fuel industry or its front groups like @USChamber or @ShopFloorNAM pushing years-long campaign of obstruction and lies. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Pope Francis warns climate disruption is "a dire premonition of much worse things to come, unless we act and act urgently." There is a "moral ledger" accounting ahead. https://t.co/iXXuhZntyX — PolitiTweet.org

This is why I fight so hard to protect the #ACA: earlier diagnosis, reduced racial disparities, and better access to treatment. #RhodeIsland families benefit from this care. https://t.co/QLaSh9DLke — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not so much whether a "23- or 24-year-old person" in the WH had this idea (if that’s even true), it’s whether the United States Navy COMPLIED. JPJ: ". . . for I intend to go in harm’s way." https://t.co/HOqgEBHY8i — PolitiTweet.org

I stand with the Juliana plaintiffs. When fossil fuel industry has corrupted exec and leg branches, judiciary is what remains. Kids have no vote, yet their future is at stake. #AllEyesOnJuliana https://t.co/4IGrhbUnX1 — PolitiTweet.org

NRA has only two time zones: one, it’s too close to the tragedy to do anything about guns; and two, it’s not close enough to a tragedy to need to do anything about guns. https://t.co/YxH8bB4leR — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

This day has been a long time coming & I’m thrilled to be here to officially open the doors of @innovatenewport, a business incubator that will help RI startups grow & add jobs. Proud to have worked with federal, state, & local partners to get this project over the finish line. https://t.co/KbhxI4qBdD — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

I had breakfast Saturday with a hero, Sister Jane Gerety; next thing you know, The New York Times calls out Sisters of Mercy: “radical, badass women who have lived lives devoted to social justice.” Yeah! https://t.co/9KKTjbhI32 — PolitiTweet.org

“The ocean is screaming.” Are we really too stupid to listen and learn? Or is it politics? This is the stuff #ChamberofCarbon has worked so hard to have us ignore. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Meanwhile, I count nine separate financial warnings so far this year on climate dangers, including one from, wait for it, BlackRock! Is BlackRock all in, or just greenwashing? — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Interesting. @blackrock forces @exxonmobil's (lame) climate risk disclosure, hires Obama’s Deese, then does no due diligence on (lame) Exxon disclosure and is outed as one of worst climate performers on proxies and investment. https://t.co/FKsjy2HeYx — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

It’s long past time for big players in our media landscape to wake up to the climate crisis. Pathetically, they are totally missing the story of fossil fuel $$$ to #ChamberofCarbon to buy climate obstruction, and widespread warnings of #ClimateCosts. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Month after month, the Sunday shows whiff at the plate. In May, there were only two total substantive segments on the climate crisis the entire month, one on @ThisWeekABC and one on @MeetThePress. Helpless. https://t.co/ESM5ruXZFi — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

But the climate-denying @WSJ editorial page can’t resist publishing another crank. Unbelievable. Literally. We need good coverage of the threat sea level rise poses to property values, and our entire economy. #ClimateCosts https://t.co/jIvyvyfPHJ — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

A glimmer from the @washingtonpost editorial page, too. https://t.co/Oo0jSAK39Z — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Even @USATODAY is starting to pay attention to #ClimateRisks. (BTW its editorial page did a great editorial some time ago.) The problem is that forces we set in motion today will have this effect in later years. It’s on us to act. https://t.co/Sod28NE11u — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Good short clip by Republican prosecutors on obstruction of Mueller investigation by Trump, and members’ complicity in Congress. https://t.co/mT6fBjZvEQ — PolitiTweet.org

My heart goes out to the victims and their families in the wake of the senseless shooting in Virginia Beach. I’m grateful for the brave first responders and law enforcement officers on the scene. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Reminds me of @HeartlandInst’s comparison of climate scientists to Unabomber. Once you’ve lost your moral compass and started lying for the fossil fuel industry, moral boundaries get hard to find. — PolitiTweet.org

Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse

Trumpster: “The demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler.” Seriously? Scientists are to CO2 as Nazis were to Jews? (Trump hired this guy into the White House AFTER he said this.) https://t.co/aeSQ7IV7bA — PolitiTweet.org
