The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians: ‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Scientists were frustrated by a piece in the Guardian earlier this week that seemed to call into question the science on microplastics in the body. I wrote about why researchers are certain microplastics are in the human body -- and what we still don't know: www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

I am going to be jealous of all the Canadians driving rad BYD electric cars.

Senator Susan Collins killed the amendment to protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) -- perhaps the world's premier research center for work on #weather, #climate, models, and remote sensing. Remember that.

So are we defending protesters or shooting them?

Oil billionaire Harold Hamm, one of Trump's earliest backers, spent $2M getting him elected. Many of Hamm's wishes have come true since — drilling boosted, car efficiency rules cut, air pollution regs slashed, tax breaks. Great piece from @ericlipton.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/12/12/b...

Every step in offshore oil and gas drilling presents a threat to our coastal and ocean environment and our tourism and recreation economy. In California alone we have a long record of spills that demonstrate this. Here's a list of the major spills...

New Offshore Drilling Plan Gets Bipartisan Pushback

Could offshore drilling ruin America's coastlines? Some are worried. “Some” being everyone who cares about the coast. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

BREAKING NEWS 📣 Today, we received devastating news that the Trump administration is officially pursuing an unprecedented and dangerous new offshore drilling plan that will open vast stretches of U.S. coastlines up to new offshore oil and gas drilling.

Trump Admin targets California, Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska for New Offshore Drilling. Take action to stop this disastrous plan. www.surfrider.org/news/trump-a...

Imagine if the midterm gerrymandering started by Trump goes so poorly that it forces the Rs to pass the Redistricting Reform Act. One can hope.

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and Dr. Richard Kimble call Donald Trump the greatest criminal in history for his attacks on science and climate policy.

Austin Reaves are you kidding me!?!?!

I hope this is true. The Atlantic is supposedly off the table for more offshore oil & gas drilling. Why? Strong opposition by R's who correctly fear the impact to coastal tourism and recreation. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
