When it comes to endangered species conservation, we need new ideas and a bold vision of abundant nature. @jhpodesta.bsky.social and @americanprogress.bsky.social’s Drew McConville describe: tinyurl.com/2x68vs55

Trump is fighting the wrong fight in the Arctic—his focus should be on addressing climate change, not controlling Greenland.

NEW: President Trump promised to protect kids' health. Instead, EPA Head Lee Zeldin is rigging the system in favor of corporate polluters, exposing 2M+ kids to toxins & chemicals tied to asthma, autism, ADHD & cancer and delivering a gut-punch to MAHA goals: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

Excellent reporting by @theguardian.com on our new @americanprogress.bsky.social report and how EPA's corporate capture and environmental rollbacks are undercutting the MAHA agenda, endangering the health of kids, families and communities: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump calls climate change "the greatest hoax in history" while rushing to control Greenland because...climate change is opening up the Arctic. His administration’s climate denialism is making Americans LESS safe from the very threats he claims to care about. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

“Marco Rubio’s reversal on Venezuela, from defender of democratic opposition to broker of oil deals with regime insiders, has left the Venezuelan people’s future dangerously uncertain.” 👏 @fcoloninfl.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/marc...

Our ability to compete, respond, solve, and protect is diminished when our government science expertise is devalued by our leaders. www.science.org/content/arti...

Today, President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement becomes official. It’s a step backward for American leadership.

Extreme cold + an aging grid infrastructure = blackouts and higher bills. Clean energy diversity and grid upgrades are how we keep the lights on. ❄️⚡️ Read more from @americanprogress.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/why-...

The Trump administration is putting Big Oil first once again with its plans to withdraw from the UNFCCC, the bedrock of all international climate cooperation—and Americans will pay the price.

Mi columna de opinión en @elpais.com sobre la guerra de Trump contra la ciencia climática y la generación que podemos perder a causa de ello. elpais.com/clima-y-medi...

The damage Trump is inflicting on American climate science will reverberate for decades; but states, cities, and universities demonstrate that American climate progress is resilient. My column for @elpais.com : english.elpais.com/climate/2026...

Last night, the Trump administration withdrew the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the foundational 1992 treaty that established the entire framework for international climate cooperation. This is unprecedented and dangerous.

"In essence, U.S. military power is being used as a de facto security force for the president’s corporate donors and their oil interests, leaving the American taxpayer to effectively subsidize a security force for Big Oil..." www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

ALERT: EPA was created 55 years ago to protect our health & environment. The Trump admin is slashing EPA’s staff, budget & protections to make it easier for polluters to cut corners, emit more toxins & chemicals & boost their profits. ajustclimate.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

To address the harmful impacts of floods, the US should: 🌊Invest in resilience and nature-based solutions 🌊Adequately fund scientific research and access to disaster relief 🌊Improve risk assessment, pricing, and planning The newest from our team at @AmProg www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

The return of the climate COP to a democracy could not come at a more decisive moment. Progressive leaders must show that climate action is national strength. My oped w/ collaborator @johanhassel.bsky.social for @elpais.com: t.co/kbA0WU16uA English: english.elpais.com/climate/2025...

Inspiring week in Rio de Janeiro at the #COP30 Local Leaders Forum where US mayors, governors, and businesses showcased how we are still in the climate fight by lowering emissions, cutting energy costs, strengthening resilience, and creating jobs— no matter what happens in DC.

⚡️Most consumers will see their electricity bills climb even higher. New research from @americanprogress.bsky.social and @nrdc.org finds that 65% of electric utility customers across 49 states + DC face rising rates within two years 💸. www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

In just the past year, electricity prices have jumped more than twice the rate of inflation—and this is only the beginning. The Trump administration should be protecting our wallets, not paying off his billionaire buddies.

NDCs 3.0 aren’t just numbers—they are insights into how countries plan to cut emissions, phase out fossil fuels, and adapt to climate impacts. Ambitious NDCs = safer communities, cleaner air, and stronger economies. Read more from our intl climate team: ➡️ www.americanprogress.org/article/nati...

The Trump administration has taken actions that would eliminate existing protections from about 88 million acres of public lands. Including the removal of wildlife habitat protections, the total impact of the rollbacks stretches across more than 175 million acres of U.S. land.

The OBBBA will nearly triple ICE’s budget with this infusion of additional funding while taking away valuable support for vulnerable populations. www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...

With the increased frequency and intensity of climate change-driven extreme heat and cold events, Americans can no longer rely on natural gas and coal. Learn more: www.americanprogress.org/article/clea...

Working people are being poisoned while billionaires are getting richer—make that make sense.

Have you noticed your electricity bill rate has gone up? 📈💡 If so, you're not alone–nearly half of the nation’s electricity customers may be impacted by increased rates going into effect this year and next. Find out if you’re affected: www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

I’m in New York for UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ special address on climate. He has a hopeful story amidst the chaos and loss of climate disaster. Stick with me to follow his speech, and check out the report his comments are based on! www.un.org/en/climatech...

"The move to dismiss longtime public servants could also dissuade a new generation. I fear we will lose talent, now and in the future, and that this is a feature, not a bug, in the Trump White House plan,” said Colón, who leads international climate at @americanprogress.bsky.social.

NEW @americanprogress.bsky.social piece by me & my colleague @codyhankerson.bsky.social to highlight the dangers of cutting jobs, budgets, & research for NOAA and NWS, as climate disasters like the TX floods are getting more frequent, intense, & catastrophic: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

The Trump administration is threatening to sell off YOUR public lands to the highest bidder, putting special places, local economies, and vacation plans in jeopardy. Read more here: www.americanprogress.org/article/see-...

Excellent thread by @bobkopp.net documenting the dismantling of climate research in the US. We are less safe, the world is less safe.

THREAD 🧵Here’s what you need to know about the current state of Senate Republicans’ plan to sell off millions of acres of America’s public lands (1/6)

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act is one big blow to the nation’s energy system. 📉 Hundreds of gigawatts of clean energy that could be added to the nation’s grid are at risk of being stripped to boost profits for corporate polluters. We explain here. ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

After reports that the Pentagon has deployed Marines to Los Angeles on Monday to respond to immigration protests, @neeratanden.bsky.social, president and CEO of CAP, issued the following statement: www.americanprogress.org/press/statem...

Why even bother with long-run economic change & industrial policy if you don't get the chance to see it through? Biden went all in on economic change, giving other progressives confidence to back things like industrial policy. But after the Democrats loss many are questioning whether it's worth it?

🚨 Billionaire tax breaks at the expense of Americans’ health: The Trump administration’s plan to eviscerate clean air protections could cause 100 million asthma attacks just as House Republicans seek to slash clean energy and health care. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Republicans are planning to blow up Senate rules this week in order to deliver in a win for the oil industry, but they could leave every other industry exposed in a big way.

Ready for your gas prices to go up? House Republicans are proposing to end almost all federal clean energy investments, which will drive up the cost of gas and line the pockets of Big Oil execs.

A majority of registered voters (55%) said federal agencies should increase their efforts to protect people from health problems related to global warming. @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social climatecommunication.yale.edu/publications...

"The parallel is not only the administration’s effort to destroy and suppress knowledge, but also the institution’s willingness to accept the cultivated irrelevance of it—a challenge that undermines any effort to conduct research, inform policy, or guide public institutions." @alondra.bsky.social
