Wow! A six billion dollar bridge with bad bolts. A two billion dollar bus station with broken beams. This is really not the region that knows how to get it done!

Answers to FAQs:
1) Yes, the sun's output varies slightly
2) Yes, the climate has changed before
3) Yes, we've considered that
4) Physics
5) No, we're not getting rich from this
The answer is still: humans are responsible for nearly all of the warming over the past 150 years

You won’t find the names of these two boys, killed in Israel’s bombing of Gaza on Saturday, in @halbfinger’s @nytimes report. They are Amir al-Nimra and Louay Kuhail. But to @nytimes their lives don’t count. nytimes.com/2018/07/14/world…

Port jobs shrank by 80% with the introduction of containerized cargo. If we can save the remaining jobs and make them safer, while improving efficiency and reducing pollution, that could be a good thing for all of us. Bit it's a lot of "ifs". x.com/infoweststate/status/1…

Oh my!! Oh my!! The American Medical Assn votes to divest from fossil fuels! The AMA "is saying to the dirty fuels industry what it said to tobacco a generation ago: You are killing our patients and we will not allow it anymore.”

When I hear of refugee families being detained, separated, and refused at our border, I am reminded that my great-grandmother's sister was turned away at our border, only to be sent to Auschwitz. We are repeating our dark past. x.com/Stl_Manifest/status/82…

This guys actions are clearly illegal dumping since he move the stuff to another place and left it. The fines for that are high. Aside form the fact that he stole the homeless guys stuff. The City should prosecute for dumping as start. x.com/Cocoluces/status/10056…

Disgusting behavior. The man who is living by the lake needs assistance, care, support, access to resources... tearing up his things leaves him at literal ZERO. This behavior is brutal and he needs to be held accountable bit.ly/2JvmbJQ

No one in the auto industry would have asked for these roll backs, except fools. American will lose out to foreign makers who are dedicated to zero and near zero emissions. All Trump can do is force is to buy lesser products for more money. x.com/NRDC/status/9958009040…
After meeting with the auto industry, Pruitt worked to weaken #CleanerCars standards that protect our climate and health, and is preparing to weaken fuel-efficiency standards for tomorrow's vehicles.

Hey Phil! There aren't enough good deeds you can do to offset forcing toxic coal on our community. Let's build a solar field at the Outer Harbor and make hydrogen from EBMUD waste water. x.com/NoCoalInOakland/status…
