BREAKING: Hundreds of Global Artists and Cultural Influencers Support Historic Indigenous Declaration Demanding Bold Action to Protect the Amazon at #COP30 #CrimateCrisis #DefendTheAmazon #AmazoniaCalling #IndigenousRights amazonwatch.org/news/2025/11...

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/...

"Belém can be remembered as a turning point—when the world stopped treating the Amazon as a victim & began dismantling criminal economies driving its collapse. Choice is stark: dismantle networks of destruction or lose a rainforest that sustains life itself." www.openglobalrights.org/the-fight-ag...

NEW REPORT: 🔥 AMAZONIA IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION 🔥 Every tree that falls brings us closer to the point of no return, where the jungle will stop producing life and begin to die. 🌎 The Amazon cannot wait any longer.

California leaders have the opportunity to stand up to Big Oil’s influence. Say no to being bought out by fossil fuel companies, who have already spent over $7 million on lobbying in 2025 www.apenaction.org/2025/11/03/b...

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...
