What would happen if you flipped your org chart upside down and thought of it like a biology tree instead of a computer science tree?
My @igniteboulder talk explores this surprisingly old idea: youtube.com/watch?v=5gO3ky2E…
Loved talking permitting reform with Shane Londagin. @citizensclimate is excited that @SenatorHick is deep in negotiations for a bipartisan permitting reform bill that will help America build clean energy faster, with certainty and robust community input. #CCLinDC

Great to meet with @SenatorBennet office and @citizensclimate today about permitting reform and forestry. We're optimistic good bipartisan deals can get done this year so we can deploy clean energy faster and keep wildfires at bay.

Glad to see Congress has the same motivational block in getting things done without a looming deadline. #CCLinDC @citizensclimate

Yeah, but does your city's Little Italy neighborhood look like this?

Great meeting with @SenatorHick staff and @citizensclimate @CCL_CO about Fix Our Forests Act and permitting reform. There's solid bipartisan movement on these bills that will make America cleaner and more prosperous for the long term.

Great meeting with Abbie Callahan with @RepJoeNeguse and @CCL_CO about funding and permitting clean energy and healthy forests #grassrootsclimate
Today I'm joining 850 #grassrootsclimate advocates talking to Congress about clean energy and healthy forests with @citizensclimate
On Capitol Hill today with 850 other #grassrootsclimate advocates talking with nearly every office in Congress about clean, affordable energy and healthy forests. @citizensclimate meetings build relationships for long-term policy wins.
The budget bill will increase energy costs for Coloradans and the state will lose clean energy and manufacturing jobs. I urge @RepJeffCrank @repgabeevans @RepJeffHurd @RepBoebert to vote no on clean energy taxes and preserve the existing tax credits.
Weather and atmospheric prediction from Colorado @NOAA workers is crucial for keeping people in eastern Colorado safe from thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes. Please help defend this important work @RepBoebert
I run a private weather company and can confirm what Josh is saying is true. If it's a weather forecast, an app, TV weather graphic, Doppler radar stream, or weather model map, the raw data is coming from NOAA.
The US experiences more severe weather than any other nation on Earth. NOAA has been up to the task (death tolls have been falling due to improving tech, timely warnings and collaboration with local meteorologists). Firing 800-1000 experts from NOAA is a giant step backwards.
The tornado, hurricane and flood warnings you receive at home aren't automated. They come from local NWS meteorologists with many years of experience. Best forecasts are man + machine. NOAA was already short-staffed.
These cuts will make it harder to keep your family safe when skies turn threatening. Hype? Wait for it.
This isn't efficiency. It's insanity. A potentially deadly edition of FAFO.
Colorado employees of @NOAA do crucial work on weather, forest fires, and water prediction. A prosperous western Colorado relies on this data. Please help defend this work @RepJeffHurd
BREAKING: Mass firings of probationary federal workers begin at NOAA, including many in Boulder

As a first responder and pilot, @repgabeevans knows how important weather and atmospheric data are to the safety of Americans and the ability of emergency services to work effectively. The Coloradans working at @NOAA provide a great service to America.
We need to understand who at NOAA is being fired and why.
Gutting NOAA without any plan weakens Colorado’s ability to respond to wildfires or track the West’s worsening drought.
Science and weather services for Americans is not government waste. Firing the hardworking Coloradans who do this work with no strategy or communication is wrong.

I love the dotted line Google Trends projection that searches for Auld Lang Syne will be super high this January. #NewYearsEve

I just learned that "great gross" is the term for 1,728 items, but I think it's smaller than a great googly moogly.
Loved meeting with @SenatorHick team. Let's get the Energy Permitting Reform Act across the finish line this month and accelerate America's clean energy transition.
Let’s LOBBY! #GrassrootsClimate advocates from #citizensclimatelobbyCO had an early start on Lobby Week, met w/the amazing @SenatorHick Team, Trevor Odelberg, Julia Barry (honorary shoutout to @Erb_Tom10). THANK YOU for a great discussion about climate conservation opportunities!
Had a great meeting with @BoulderCCL and a Tajik delegation of climate and environment folks. Their big ask was to have the U.S. engaged in international climate work like COP. Thanks Boulder Dushanbe Sister Cities project and @citizensclimate volunteers!
