By grounding climate action in the everyday math of household energy bills, Democrats may have finally found a way to make climate policy feel less abstract — and more like a winning issue. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4677...

Trump thinks cutting regulations will save you money. Nope. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4672...

🚨Just launched: @vox.com's most ambitious biodviersity reporting project of the year. @benjij.bsky.social went to Madagascar to find out what it takes to save one of the world’s most unique ecosystems — and learned that the answer begins with putting people first. www.vox.com/climate/4649...

In very very likely a first for @vox.com, this story is also available in Malagasy, Madagascar's national language. Ny krizy ara-politika sy ara-tontolo iainana ao Madagasikara. Mety hanampy ny famerenana amin’ny laoniny ny haran-dranomasina ve? www.vox.com/climate/4654...

The consumer backlash to data centers is here. Right now, you’re paying more for your electricity because of AI data centers you’ve never seen — and that may never be built. Advocates for ratepayers in Maryland are pushing back. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4650...

Your electricity bill is rising. Naturally, you’re mad about it and looking around at who to blame. But it’s not a who, it’s a what — and the recent AI-driven data center construction spree is at least partly the reason why.

Madagascar has some of the world’s most unique animals, like lemurs, chameleons, and tenrecs. Yet many of them are now struggling to survive, amid years of climate extremes and political unrest. Reporter @benjij.bsky.social explores what’s driving an environmental crisis — and what might fix it.

Coming out of silence to share a story that's very meaningful to me — a look at what's going on in southwest Madagascar. Coral reefs that sustain entire communities are failing, despite decades of conservation. It highlights the need to rethink how conservation works. www.vox.com/climate/4650...

Whether a new drug called lenacapavir actually makes a dent in the HIV epidemic will depend less on science than on politics. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/zFB4vE

The Houston toad, once common across southeast Texas, is now so endangered that its best shot at survival involves assisted reproduction and some very determined humans. It’s weird, hopeful, kind of beautiful — and it just might be working. @vox.com: www.vox.com/the-highligh... @longreads.com

Wildfires aren’t just getting bigger. They’re getting massively more expensive. A new study shows the most destructive fires are happening more often, fueled by climate change, urban sprawl, and decades of fire suppression. @umairfan.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4635...

The surging price tag of wildfires, in one chart Wildfires are getting worse — and a lot more expensive for the rest of us. Umair Irfan for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4635...

We lost a great today 😢 @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4634...

That price shock from your latest power bill wasn't a one-off — electricity prices are way, way up, and aren't coming down any time soon. Are we headed toward an energy crisis? Umair Irfan spoke with energy experts to find out: www.vox.com/climate/4632... @vox.com

RFK Jr's sycophantic Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will decide today and tomorrow whether to delay shots like the hepatitis-B vaccines for children. @dylanlscott.bsky.social explains how this could be a breaking point: www.vox.com/health/46185... @vox.com

At @vox.com's climate desk, we’ve spent the past few months digging into a threat that’s easy to swat away in the moment — but increasingly harder to escape: the rise of mosquito and other vector-borne diseases in the United States. You can find all of our stories here: www.vox.com/climate/4616...

In case you missed it: Great feature from our team @vox.com. West Nile, malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases are on the rise in the US. Umair's reporting will help you stay vigilant.

Parents — and anyone trying to make sense of vaccines right now — are facing mixed messages from the government and leading doctors. Our new guide offers answers, and we’ve made it free to read as a public service. @dylanlscott.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/health/46052...

Today @vox.com is rolling out something special from climate correspondent Umair Irfan. Recently, we went to southern Texas to dig into an unsettling story: how climate change—and the ways we’ve built our cities—is giving mosquito-borne diseases new footholds in the US. www.vox.com/climate/4603...

🚨 Major scoop from @vox.com's @dylanlscott.bsky.social 🚨 RFK Jr. has had a really bad couple of weeks. But now, it gets worse. Today, we're breaking the story that Kennedy’s HHS and the White House have buried a major federal study on American alcohol consumption. www.vox.com/health/46008... 🧵👇

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

We’ve climbed Everest, mapped the oceans, and trekked to the poles. Yet 90% of Earth’s species remain unknown. The golden age of discovery is happening now — as scientists race to catalogue our planet's "dark taxa" @benjij.bsky.social w/ this fascinating story @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

The real implosion at the CDC resignations is about something much bigger than just RFK and vaccines. @dylanlscott.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/health/45976...

As another season looms, Covid vaccines are going to be harder to find. The people caught in the middle of this fight aren’t politicians or doctors—they’re parents, kids, grandparents, anyone just trying to stay healthy this winter. @dylanlscott.bsky.social/@vox.com: www.vox.com/health/45922...

Some good, counter-intuitive news for our energy transition: Maybe climate incentives...don't matter? Trump wants to stall the EV revolution and has rolled back every incentive he can. But then Ford announced a new, *affordable* electric truck anyway. @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4585...

Extreme heat is turning a mostly New York disease into a nationwide threat. Legionnaire’s disease thrives in the warm, stagnant water of aging infrastructure—and climate change is creating perfect conditions for it to spread. @dylanlscott.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4584...

Tropical Storm Erin could become the first major hurricane of the season — and the first real test of a weakened federal disaster forecasting system at a time when stronger, wetter storms are becoming the norm. Umair Irfan for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4580...

Caribou have survived for thousands of years and have adapted to warming temperatures in the past. But their incredible ability to adapt is no match for contemporary climate change. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Climate change reshapes reproductive health — from conception to birth. Now, in a new collab with our friends at @grist.org, new data show how heat, poor air and floods are rewriting the earliest stages of life. @zteirstein.bsky.social at @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4578...

It’s not about the eagles — not really. The Trump administration’s sudden concern for birds of prey is really another front in its fight against renewable energy @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Big story from @dylanlscott.bsky.social: Soon, pill-form GLP-1s and generic versions of popular brands like Ozempic will hit the market. These drugs have the potential to treat obesity—but also dementia, substance abuse disorders & more. What's the catch? www.vox.com/the-highligh... @vox.com

Electricity prices are rising faster than inflation — and won’t stop anytime soon. Umair Irfan for @vox.com: www.vox.com/climate/4208...

The government's debris removal in the wake of Hurricane Helene was devastating for the local environment. Contractors flattened beaver wetlands, and bulldozed habitat for endangered species — even in places the storm barely touched. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...
