Neat way of framing climate change.

Did you know that way back in 1962 Big Oil bragged about the fact that they could melt 7 million tons of a glacier every day They knew they were destroying our climate back in 1962 We are just beginning to pay the price as Big Oil profit $2.8 billion every single day as Earth #climate collapses

A program meant to expedite environmental review for logging was being abused?? No Wayyyyy!!!🙄 insideclimatenews.org/news/2101202...

30x30 aims to protect 30% of the planet by 2030. The recently enacted High Seas Treaty could help us achieve that for the ocean: https://therevelator.org/30x30-ocean/

The sudden temperature drop

Republicans in Congress are trying to force mining and gas extraction using a tool that has never been used for public lands management. The process could set the stage for a single lawmaker to undo any public land plan they don't like. And it looks like national monuments could be next. 🌎

Mountain Goats? Noooo! An iconic species is declining in Glacier National Park www.sfgate.com/national-par...

The state of Michigan filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against major oil companies including ExxonMobil and Chevron, accusing them of engaging in a decades-long conspiracy to block the development of clean energy and electric vehicles.

Remnants of a snow moon

Congress is up to it again. Look for sneaky language that would provide a less public way to sell off public lands in the coming year.

As Trump continues to try to shut down wind energy here at home while maligning it on the world stage, Europe is embracing it as a key instrument for not only decarbonization, but energy security at a time of rising geopolitical instability www.oneearthnow.org/p/european-c...

Saving threatened and endangered species is always really popular until the numbers are discussed. Here's a way to fund conservation and keep common species common. 🌎

Clear slopes and grey skies!! Making the most of winter!! ❄️

Just out by me - wolverines could be on their way to Colorado soon!

Let it snowww, let’s snow

Over 150,000 people visit the breathtaking #BoundaryWaters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern #Minnesota there every year, drawn to its vast network of pristine lakes and rivers, beautiful boreal forests, rare wildlife like #wolves and Canada lynx, and the sheer solitude of its unspoiled landscapes.

Not even wildlife refuges are safe under this Congress. In its first year, this administration and Congress have proven to be one of the most anti-public land cohort of leaders in recent history. 🌎 wessiler.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Despite the update, this is a clear sign that republicans are trying, once again, to set the stage for a public lands sell off...

The biggest US solar-storage project yet takes shape in California. Westlands Water District approved 21 gigawatts of solar and batteries on water-parched fields in the Central Valley, giving farmers a way to profit from fallow land. bit.ly/4qOdtuz #California #Solar #Batteries

A federal court once again overturns the Trump admin's stop work order on Revolution Wind Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the Dept of Interior's suspension order was 'arbitrary & capricious' in violation of federal law www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

NEW: A federal judge today struck down a stop work order Trump issued before Christmas on a big New England offshore wind project under construction It’s a huge ruling and suggests other stop work orders against offshore wind farms in progress may very soon fail too

“You’re basically holding a gun to your own head, saying you’re going to be forced now to develop fossil fuels at whatever price companies want to charge you,” Wielechowski said. “It’s time for Alaska to stop giving our resources away.”

BREAKING: the Trump admin is green-lighting Utah's attempt to assert control over 8 million acres of public land without a vote, notice or public input. After failing to seize public lands outright, Utah is chipping away at at public land ownership at large. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Breaking: Trump's pick to lead the BLM is a walking conflict of interest and an anti-environment extremist who's encouraged vigilantes to seize control of federal public lands. We’re sounding the alarm to Senate leaders. Read the letter, signed by 81 orgs: biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

In The Long Heat, Andreas Malm and Wim Carton take aim at what they call rationalist-optimists — people who naively believe that market solutions can fix the climate crisis. But their sweeping critique runs the risk of abandoning all hope in the future.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

Up to 250 days in the year Scotland’s renewables could have powered 100% of our electricity needs so TWICE the UK figure talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/01/03/u...

If you need a dose of optimism to close out the year, check out Sierra's latest list of book reviews. Here Comes the Sun by @billmckibben.bsky.social, which I reviewed, was such an inspiring read, I have no doubt it'll brighten even the gloomiest of spirits.

Happy Endangered Species Act Day to all who celebrate. Here are some bald eagles today on the North Fork of the Nooksack River.

More proof that leaders in the US support socialism for the rich and wealth but call it a hand out when it comes to supporting literally anyone else.

I think there’s a deeper story here about how rural communities are experiencing the Trump tariffs this Christmas.

turns out fossil fuel company sponsorships are actively used by fossil fuel companies to block climate action! (this probably seems obvious to you, but there is surprisingly huge support among cultural institutions for taking fossil fuel $$$) www.desmog.com/2025/05/20/r...

Montana is dead set on diminishing the wolf population to the point of collapse. Our legal challenge to halt the trapping and hunting season was denied, but our lawsuit to enshrine wolf protections into state law moves forward. More ➡️ https://loom.ly/cqWR16o

The Positive Climate News You May Have Missed This Year by @davidfickling.bsky.social Some Grids Have Almost Decarbonized: "in some parts of world, decarbonizing electricity is approaching its endgame. Roughly three-quarters of power generation in UK & Europe this year came from non-fossil sources"

Love this @biographic.bsky.social feature that we were able to republish… nice work @cestmoilanglois.bsky.social

My newest opinion piece just published. "Trump is manipulating national security to stop energy projects he doesn’t like" thebulletin.org/2025/12/trum...

Interesting video. A position that is right now a minority in Congress. But seems very plausible that this becomes pretty mainstream for 2026 and 2028 elections

The biosphere is being murdered Last pristine nature places are being obliterated Even in pristine Arctic Refuge Trump is opening up to 82% of the 23-million-acre Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A) to oil and gas leasing and development www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cougar kitten in Michigan, a wolverine in California, and now this—a jaguar in Arizona!!! Despite all the grim news, wildlife really is finding ways to thrive. 🌎

They depend on our weariness, our exhaustion, so that they can push things through in cowardly back door moves. But we're fueled by our love for ecosystems, places, animals, and the knowledge that future generations deserve these places too.

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Poison in the water!! Some wolves in Alaska are revealing worrying signs about the health of the region's oceans.. 🌎

More evidence that protecting public lands is a bipartisan issue!! Nice work @cassidyrandall.bsky.social

Sweden has lost the Snowy Owl Snowy Owls have been breeding irregularly in Sweden for centuries. Over the 1970s, several hundred pairs raised their young in the mountains. www.birdlife.org/news/2025/12...

Northeast wolf advocates to sue over national gray wolf recovery plan. Wolves historically lived in northern New York but they disappeared in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat loss

California just confirmed a new wolf pack in Plumas County—the Grizzly Pack. A hopeful sign after last month’s lethal removal of the Beyem Seyo Pack. Wolves are rebounding, but Congress is still pushing anti-wolf bills. Demand a National Recovery Plan at TeamWolf.Org!

Taxes are good! Taxes are how we pay for all of the things that make society a good place to live! People who don't like taxes are selfish and stupid and make our entire society worse for their own short term, often barely noticeable gain.

This year, I worked with some of the best editors in science and nature writing. Everything I wrote was better because of them. @lkbotts.bsky.social for Sierra @joespring.bsky.social for Smithsonian @saraivry.bsky.social for JSTOR Chuck Thompson for @columbiainsight.bsky.social
