Show Notes

New Mexicos legislative session was disrupted by a brutal cold snap, leading to record natural gas flaring and venting from oil and gas operations. Despite warnings about persistent disasters fueled by climate change, lawmakers rejected a key climate bill due to concerns over oil and gas revenue losses. The session, however, approved funding for expanded earthquake monitoring in the Permian Basin and faced calls for modernizing the legislature to better handle complex climate challenges.
