Orphaned wells are a climate and public health nightmare. The oil industry continues to dump *billions* in cleanup costs onto taxpayers and is fighting reform efforts.

In 2022, I spoke w/ Navahine, the lead plaintiff, about the lawsuit for @gristnews.bsky.social.

"Though it feels a bit overwhelming, she said, 'I do know that it’s the right thing to do. And I really hope that it makes an impact.'"

It's safe to say she and her peers have made an impact.

Despite today's grim milestone with the world passing 1.5C over the past 12 months, I see some reasons for cautious climate hope. We stand both on the brink of severe climate impacts, but also on the brink of a rapid energy transition away from fossil fuels.

We often say that CO₂ emissions from shipping are hard-to-abate but 40% by weight of what we ship is fossil fuels so it should get easier when we decarbonize.
