📍 NYC Climate Week: “Gov. Newsom: If you can’t take on Big Oil, how can you take on Trump?”

We JUST dropped this banner because Newsom can’t claim climate leadership while siding with Big Oil billionaires.

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social—don't let Big Oil 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 your climate promises!
⏰ ”It’s time for @governor.ca.gov to start treating climate like a winning issue here in California, not just on the international stage in the lead-up to 2028.” @elliecohen.bsky.social of @theclimatecenter.bsky.social writes for @calmatters.org. Read here:
Opinion | Gavin Newsom could have made electricity more affordable and climate-friendly. Here's how
Gov. Newsom vetoed bills on virtual power plants, which deliver energy to the grid from such home devices as smart thermostats, solar panels, electric vehicle batteries and heat pumps.

✨NEW: @governor.ca.gov is right to emphasize affordability as a pillar of climate progress, but it’s puzzling when he vetoes cost-effective clean energy solutions. Read more from @elliecohen.bsky.social: https://loom.ly/KOCjhcY

🚨 Trump docs show plans to open California’s coast to oil drilling with lease sales starting 2027.
Trump’s “drill baby drill” agenda is back. Gov. Newsom says he’s a climate leader — this is a chance to prove it.

“Action is the antidote to climate anxiety.” — Dr. Wendy

After the “No Kings” rallies, Bay Area voices are calling for lasting civic engagement and climate accountability — not just protest, but power.

NEW: You can now see the invisible pollution in CA’s air.

Scientists at @ClimateTRACE built a global map using satellites + AI to track fine particulate plumes (PM 2.5) — the most dangerous air pollution.

For the first time in human history, CA’s Sierra Nevada will be ice-free.
New research shows the range’s last glaciers — Conness, Lyell, Maclure, & Palisade — are disappearing fast and could vanish by 2100.
30,000 years of ice. Gone in one human lifetime.

Winter is coming — and for many Americans, so are steep heating bills.
Electric-heated homes may see ~4% cost increases. The average bill could hit ~$976.

A just transition means affordable, clean heat for all.

CA’s wealth was built on stolen resources. Fossil fuel companies have taken nearly $1 trillion in oil & gas from Indigenous lands—leaving behind pollution.
A just transition means holding polluters accountable and returning land to its rightful stewards: https://bit.ly/483gW0w

Oakland just voted 7–0 to back the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund, joining 17 other CA cities demanding Big Oil pay for the damage they caused.
Cities are leading. Sacramento, take note. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3K7LXsg

AI isn’t neutral.
When it’s trained on fossil fuel PR, it parrots fossil fuel PR.

That means more hype for CCS + “natural gas”…and less truth about frontline harms.

AI must serve the people, not polluters.

There are still 90,000 unplugged oil and gas wells across the state that need to be cleaned up. And even though one third of these wells are idle, that doesn’t stop them from leaking methane and other dangerous toxins into our air.

While he rightfully stands up to Trump on the national stage, this is sadly the nightmare @governor.ca.gov just handed out to all of us back at home: 1000 of new oil drilling permits are on the horizon.

Every new drilling permit is another treat for Big Oil—and a trick on Californians’ health.

Children are more susceptible to damage from toxins b/c their bodies are smaller and still developing.

Low level chemical and air toxin exposure over long periods can significantly damage childhood development & increase cancer and asthma risk.

California needs to get off oil.

Fossil fuels don’t just heat the planet—they fuel fascism.

💰 Big Oil spent $450M influencing Trump + Congress
💰 $96M went to Trump + his PACs
💰 $19M from oil execs to his inauguration

Welcome to California’s scariest addresses —
Sponsored by Trump’s Big Oil cronies, and this year…even approved by @governor.ca.gov Newsom and the state legislature, who made a dramatic oil drilling expansion a core part of their legislative agenda.
Every door hides a health crisis.
October 29, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Gov. Newsom calls himself a climate leader.

But he’s fast-tracking new oil wells and blocking bills that make polluters pay.
If he can’t take on Big Oil, how can he take on Trump?

Tell @CAgovernor to fight for the people, not polluters.
October 27, 2025 at 5:36 PM
Carbon Capture isn’t a solution — it’s Big Oil’s scam.

❌ 80% of projects fail
❌ Taxpayers foot the bill
❌ Communities face new risks

California deserves REAL climate solutions: clean energy, good jobs, safe neighborhoods.

Every new oil well means more toxic air, more illness, and more broken promises.

SB 237 puts 2,000 new drill sites a year in Kern County — where pollution already kills and families are fighting to survive.

Gov. Newsom can’t claim climate leadership while sacrificing our health.

Stop air pollution & save taxpayer dollars! SB County’s Oil Phase-out plan is a health & economic win — ACT NOW to support it. Email the supervisors before Oct. 21: [email protected].

Gov. Newsom just handed Kern County to polluters.

With SB 237, he approved up to 2,000 new oil drill sites every year — poisoning families, worsening the climate crisis, & breaking his promises.

Kern County residents deserve clean air, not corporate favors.

📣📣 ACTION ALERT for Santa Barbara County!

On Tuesday, Oct. 21, the County Board of Supervisors is voting on our crucial fossil fuel phase-out ordinance that will reduce toxic air pollution and protect our community from climate disasters.

A massive fireball tore through Chevron’s El Segundo refinery last night — proof again that fossil fuels are dangerous and toxic.

@governor.ca.gov must stop caving to Big Oil and deliver a just transition to clean, safe energy. Our health + future depend on it.
