Colombia's president not only understands the urgency, he actually supports doing something about it. Unlike so many other leaders. He supports the call to "develop a roadmap to break dependence on fossil fuels." #COP30 #ClimateCrisis #EndFossilFuels english.elpais.com/opinion/2025...

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

“I cannot share social media posts about this journey because there are people who might send assassins to kill me if they knew my location,” said one activist, whose name has been withheld for his safety. #YakuMama #AmazonFlotilla #COP30 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A massive fire erupted last night at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo. This horrible disaster is yet another reminder of the grave dangers the fossil fuels economy poses to California communities.

The last time a Chevron refinery blew up like this it was found criminally liable and sent 15.000 Richmond residents to the hospital. Chevron is a menace. abc7.com/live-updates...
