In Nigeria conflicts between farmers and herders have been going on for years. (Below is my story from 2017). And yes, in case you were wondering, there's a climate aspect. "It's climate change! Even though some people are living in denial of it, but I think we are seeing it," Musa says.

What's wild is how popular Trump is with many Nigerians. Pew finds confidence in Trump is highest in Nigeria - higher than anywhere in the world. In Nigeria confidence in Trump is 79%. (Israel 69% Hungary 53%).

President Trump on Saturday said he's ordered the Pentagon to plan for potential military action in Nigeria, where he alleges the government is failing to rein in the persecution of Christians. n.pr/47zOzqr

Susan Stamberg, legendary founding coastal grandmother of @npr.org, is with the radio angels now. I often think of this piece.🎧 🌁 She was the orange in the big grey wash, the vermillion coming through the fog. She relished every word on air. And reminded us how beautiful radio- and life- can be.

When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.

💡 After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack A new report confirms the cause was a voltage surge, not renewables. Yet polling shows 70% of respondents in Spain believed at least one of the false narratives about the outage. via @npr.org buff.ly/Bi4vW3O

This story was inspired by a conversation with a fossil fuel exec in Paris a few days after the big outage in Spain. He blamed too much renewable energy as the cause. Was that really it? Turns out: No. @npr.org takes you through a new report on what happened + impacts of renewable misinformation.

When the power went out in Spain this spring, many people immediately pointed the finger at the country's solar and wind power as the cause. That wasn't the trigger, but a new survey finds that all that misinformation? It had an impact. Read more here, only on @npr.org 🎧⬇️

Many congratulations to @npr.org’s Anas Baba on this wonderful, hugely deserved recognition of his “steadfast and factual coverage of the war in Gaza [that] is making a singular contribution to public understanding of the conflict at great personal risk.” www.academyofdiplomacy.org/news/press-r...

In April, Spain and Portugal suffered Europe's worst blackout in 20 years. Now, 5 months later, an expert panel has released a report on the blackout. In the meantime, opportunists filled the information void, blaming renewables without evidence. The misinfo stuck, @juliaradio.bsky.social reports.

Alaa Abd El Fattah, Egypt’s most prominent political prisoner, was pardoned after almost 12 years and a hunger strike.

Huge news here today in Egypt: President Sisi pardons Alaa Abd El-Fattah after years of imprisonment & repeated hunger strikes.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright has disbanded a controversial Climate Working Group (CWG), which wrote a report that scientists say was full of errors and misrepresented climate science.

A new study finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers, including oil companies. By @juliaradio.bsky.social

Spoke to @yannquilcaille.bsky.social and @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social about their new study in Nature. They finds dozens of heat waves would be "virtually impossible" without the activity of major fossil fuel producers. Read on ⬇️ @npr.org to learn about their methodologies + why the work matters.

A new study links 200+ heatwaves to climate change and the emissions of major fossil fuel producers. While the Trump admin argues climate pollution doesn't endanger people, @jsmankin.bsky.social says this "research here shows—very clearly— that these emissions have an undeniable impact on society."

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

More than 85 scientists have issued a rebuttal to a recent Department of Energy report on climate change, finding it full of errors and misrepresentations. The Trump administration cited the DOE report in its proposal to roll back rules regulating climate pollution. More here ⬇️ on @npr.org

NPR is among the news organizations that has signed an appeal calling for Israel to stop attacks on journalists in Gaza, and demanding foreign journalists' access to Gaza. www.npr.org/2025/09/01/n...

The Solar for All program is a multi-billion dollar federal investment to help lower electricity costs & cut US energy poverty. The Trump Administration ended it. @carleysanya.bsky.social & I talked with @juliaradio.bsky.social & @jeffbradynews.bsky.social about it: www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n... 🔌 💡

The Trump administration plans to end a $7 billion Biden-era program that helps low-income households get solar power.

As Canadian wildfires spread smoke across the U.S. the air pollution is dangerous to health. But there are ways to protect yourself. Here's what to know. By @alejandrabee.bsky.social and @juliaradio.bsky.social

A horrifying statement published today by the Editorial Committee of the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency. "Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die" Translation from French to English by @cnorristrent.bsky.social:

Camps in nature can be great for kids, but they can also expose campers to floods, wildfires and heat. Here are the top questions experts say people should ask camps about safety.

NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group. By Anas Baba

My god, I am so in awe of my colleague Anas Baba, NPR reporter and producer inside Gaza. Some advice: Read and listen to everything he does.

"Climate change is driving more extreme rainfall events across most of the U.S., making dangerous flooding more likely. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture...leading to heavier downpours. In Texas, the heaviest rainstorms now drop about 20% more rain than they did in the late 1950s."

And yeah, lots of it here rings true for this Austro-American climate economist: Good reason @juliaradio.bsky.social went to Vienna for "how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change" www.npr.org/2025/06/15/n... The two are intimately linked.

Timely piece by @juliaradio.bsky.social on how to stay safe and cool under the heat dome.

Reupping this because we could all use some hope and inspiration. Building better infrastructure - both physical and social - is possible; we have good examples; the results can be wonderful and enduring.

Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.
