@juliakane.bsky.socialReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialAttn: climate/energy reporters — EPA will propose a rule gutting methane standards in "days not weeks." @fieldnotes.co just posted our briefing on how the oil & gas industry has been working behind the scenes w/ the Trump admin to get this done.
@rebleber.bsky.socialnew story from me and @emdashsanders.bsky.social:
Attorneys for oil companies tried to convince SCOTUS that climate lawsuits should be stopped. Their arguments could reach into state-level cases against powerful industries beyond just oil and gas.
@emdashsanders.bsky.socialReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialI stared at Justice Kavanaugh for ~2 hours (only justice I could clearly see from my nosebleed SCOTUS seat) during the first case of the term: a hugely consequential bid by Big Oil to kill climate lawsuits
Here's @rebleber.bsky.social and my take on what happened pointsourcenews.org/boulder-exxo...
@pointsourcenews.orgReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialtoday the Supreme Court is hearing a major climate case over a Boulder county lawsuit against Exxon and Suncor over climate damages and deception; the decision can determine if the case proceeds to trial
@emdashsanders.bsky.social is reporting from inside the court! stay tuned for more coverage...
@pointsourcenews.orgReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialClimate reporters @emorwee.bsky.social and @emdashsanders.bsky.social met up at #ClimateWeekNYC to ask each other how they’re feeling about corporate greenwashing and AI’s lovefest with Big Oil.
Turns out, they had thoughts.
@rebleber.bsky.socialI'm a reporter and I'd be interested in learning more about this - [email protected]
@rebleber.bsky.socialIt's funny to me that Vox.com, literally owned by a Murdoch, is still advertising itself as "independent media" - via popups on home site
@rebleber.bsky.socialI'd love to learn more about this new journal! Who do you recommend getting in touch with?

@markgongloff.bsky.socialReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialUrban heat island effects are bad enough. Clustering data centers in cities, each of which can produce the heat of 54,000 houses, will make it exponentially worse, especially in already hot places like Phoenix

@emdashsanders.bsky.socialReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialSee you at noon!
@rebleber.bsky.sociala great new feature from @emdashsanders.bsky.social on the independent Colorado ranchers who want Big Oil to own up for climate damages, rather than leave the burden to local governments. pointsourcenews.org/the-colorado...
@rebleber.bsky.socialhey friends, I'm in NYC for Climate Week, my first time in a long time at this circus :) if it's been a while since we've met up, say hi!
@rebleber.bsky.socialI’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Joe over a decade ago and was grateful to reconnect at the SEJ/Penn conference a few years ago.
@rebleber.bsky.socialI worked with Dr. Joe Romm in my first job, on his site Climate Progress. I thought he was fearless then, and he remained so throughout his career. His writing inspired and taught me, and many many others. Saddened by this unexpected loss. web.sas.upenn.edu/pcssm/news/r...
@rebleber.bsky.sociala very touching tribute
@rebleber.bsky.socialOil companies have presented themselves "as 'good-faith' (their words) partners eager to act while at the same time working behind the scenes" to head off methane regulations
An important investigation out from @juliakane.bsky.social fieldnotes.substack.com/p/an-oil-exe...
@rebleber.bsky.socialGotta love seeing this much standout climate journalism in one place. It was an honor to be one of the judges for the 2026 @coveringclimatenow.org awards.

@pointsourcenews.orgReposted by @rebleber.bsky.socialAs climate lawsuits against fossil fuel companies get closer to trial, oil giants and a constellation of well-funded allies are deploying multiple strategies to try to undermine the cases or completely immunize the industry from liability. Here's a roadmap of all the ways they're doing it.
