Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

President Trump wants more U.S. oil companies to "go in" to Venezuela. But there are economic, historical, and climate reasons that may not be easy. Here's what you need to know about oil in Venezuela. n.pr/4sp63PX

As a big winter storm comes for the US, some may blame outages on renewable energy. This is a pattern. In Feb 2021 when an outage hit Texas critics blamed solar + wind. Investigations found the outage's cause was gas + coal plants forced offline because of freezing temperatures. (more here⬇️)

I never thought i would be dming with reality tv star Spencer Pratt for work. But after the LA fires he became an important source of information for fire victims. The problem, experts tell NPR, is that sometimes what he says isn't accurate. And yet they impacted state policy. Story ⬇️ [email protected]

Misinformation spread quickly after the wildfires in Los Angeles last year. Some of these false narratives on social media impacted California policy. n.pr/4svdsNU

In the aftermath of the LA fires, misinformation spread almost as fast as the flames, including about legislation that could have helped the recovery. "Folks were reacting to information that was factually incorrect," our Julia Stein tells NPR's @juliaradio.bsky.social. www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

FYI on @npr.org news last night: "Next door to Venezuela is Guyana-a key emerging oil player with a big ExxonMobil presence. For years Guyana+Venezuela had territorial disputes, also related to oil. Oil experts tell NPR w President Maduro gone U.S. oil company investments in Guyana are more secure."

A lot of the headlines out of #COP30 focused on a lack of sufficient outcomes, but in terms of taking on the fossil fuel industry there was significant progress as explained by @npr.org climate reporter, @juliaradio.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/12/17/n...

Absolutely loved working with @npr.org's Short Wave podcast on this nail-biter episode about a group trying to tackle the biggest driver of global warming at this year's climate conference. Stay for voices of 🇨🇴🇳🇱🇪🇸🇵🇦 plus @fossiltreaty.bsky.social @greenprofgreen.bsky.social @nikkireisch.bsky.social

When a fire broke out at the climate conference, I immediately ran out of the tent to find a group from Colombia That because just 15 min after the fire there was supposed to be a big announcement...about tackling the main driver of climate change What happened? Listen only on @npr.org🎧⬇️ (👀🇨🇴🇳🇱🇻🇺🇵🇦)

People keep saying this. Great piece from @juliaradio.bsky.social with quotes from @lishuoclimate.bsky.social @jessedjenkins.com @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social & me www.npr.org/2025/12/08/n...

At COP30, Colombia pushed for text on the transition away from fossil fuels. But what's happening with its domestic energy transition? I discussed this w/ @juliaradio.bsky.social for an NPR article, which takes a sober look at the situation instead of repeating various dodgy claims made elsewhere.

"The United States was conspicuously absent from this year's talks, known as COP30... the conference delivered only modest progress on international efforts to curb global warming" - @npr.org @michaelcopley1.bsky.social @juliaradio.bsky.social @rhersher.bsky.social www.npr.org/2025/11/22/n...

Here inside the plenary hall at #COP30 at Belém, the end (maybe??) of a very eventful climate conference. Will update here as we get updates

If anyone is interested in Colombia's energy transition, @npr.org has you covered 🇨🇴

Talking to people here at the COP30 climate conference who have been evacuated because of the fire, stopping their work on climate negotiations and cutting off events that took months of planning, the overwhelming feeling is one of sadness.

Here in Belém at the conference hall it smells like smoke and burning plastic. Very on the nose that there's a fire at the climate conference in the Amazon.

We're the sidekick. As I said to @juliaradio.bsky.social and Anthony Kuhn "What America does is part of the story—it's not the main part of the story, it's a cute side character. #China is now the main character in the story of fighting #climatechange." www.npr.org/2025/11/18/n...

Two years ago Colombia pledged to stop exploring for new oil, gas and coal. On the world stage, this was a big deal. Here's what's happened since. n.pr/3JwxVAp

Colombia is in the midst of their energy transition. Is the story a happy one? We spoke to more than a dozen Colombian energy folks - from renewable developers to ministers to coal lawyers to oil company execs. Here's what they think went right, and what went wrong. Listen and read on NPR 📻🎧🇨🇴⬇️

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%).

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 🎧⬇️

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.
