Big Oil is using native advertising to "disguise their ads in news outlets" and promote "controversial technologies like carbon capture as climate solutions, portray fossil fuel companies as climate-friendly, or misrepresent their role in the energy transition" finds author @commscholar.bsky.social.
These ads are poisoning trust in media
‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.

As Trump betrays people and the planet, I’m headed next week to the U.N.’s COP30 climate conference in Brazil.
I’ll be joining our international partners to strengthen California’s climate commitments and showcase how our climate action is creating more jobs, cleaner air, and lower costs.

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

Was hopeful when the former owner of Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, passed away there would be a change in their politics. Ken Langone is no better. Hence, it seems they green light ICE in their buildings. #boycottHomeDepot
The Home Depot continues to allow ICE to terrorize the communities they pretend to serve. Let’s show them the same kindness we did to target!

California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply.
The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand.
While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.
