One year ago today, I launched CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES, a newsletter about climate and culture. Proud of everything I've accomplished and excited for Year 2!

Highlights from Year 1 and notes on what's ahead. Very grateful to everyone supporting my work! climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ccg-turns-one

Phillips 66 will be the "Official Fuel Partner" of the 2028 Olympic Games, which were famously supposed to be "car free." Great work by Karen Bass, Casey Wasserman and all others involved.

Also this got announced *during COP31* climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/phillips-66-…

Updated w/statement from LA28:

"Delivering an Olympic and Paralympic Games of this scale requires fuel to transport athletes, fans & officials, power essential equipment and support the Torch Relays."

Yes, that means you need to give an oil giant the world's biggest megaphone!

UPDATED with a quote from @billmckibben.

"If they need the money, let the organizing committee at least be clear about what it means: Phillips 66 is the Official Carbon Dioxide sponsor of the LA28 Games."

BREAKING: The 2028 Olympics will be brought to you by Big Oil.

Yep, LA28 just announced its first fossil fuel sponsor, Phillips 66. Same company that's been polluting LA's air & water for decades and greenwashing its act at Dodger Stadium.
