After the warmest winter on record for many states and a blistering March heat wave that left almost no snow in parts of the US West, the region is facing a summer of serious wildfire risks and a drought that could force broad water restrictions. @byscottdance.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/c...

These conditions bear unmistakable fingerprints of climate change, scientists say. Higher temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more water vapor, pulling moisture out of soils and plants, leading to longer and more intense dry spells and more severe storms www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Tr$mp Biofuels Targets Threaten Carbon-Rich Rainforests.The US doesn’t have enough bio-based diesel to meet the administration’s new mandate, so blenders will have to import yet more foreign crop-based oils. @georginagustin.bsky.social insideclimatenews.org/news/3103202...

Tr$mp promoted fossil fuels. His war is pushing the world away from them. As oil prices spike, governments are slashing fuel use and eyeing renewables — threatening to erode demand for fossil energy. @scottpwaldman.bsky.social @saraschonhardt.bsky.social subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

For Tr$mp, it’s affordability, schmafordability! As gas prices soar, Trump is ignoring the lessons of the last oil crisis. Fuel economy rules have reduced U.S. dependence on oil. Trump ripped them up — and then sent gas prices through the roof. By Jake Bittle grist.org/regulation/t...
