🧵 World, I’m sorry to share the terrible news that anti-fracking activist and justice leader David Braun has died. David was charismatic, brilliant, and big-hearted. Both joyful and full of sorrow. You can see both in his smile here. He was my friend and brother-in-arms.

Analysis | Abandoned wells are a huge climate problem

Oil and gas wells that have been drilled and abandoned are at risk of leaking methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
