What an inspiring group. Let's amplify their work!

When we launched #The89Percent Project, the goal was to draw attention to the fact that an overwhelming majority of the world’s people — 80 to 89% — want their governments to “do more” about climate change. Now, in the next phase of the project, it’s time to explore who those people are...

If you're not watching the @wclivestream.bsky.social , you should check in. It's a collection of committed, passionate people making the case for a profession that shouldn't have to justify itself. A poignant testament to our times. #saveamericasforecasts @coveringclimatenow.org

I've got this on in the background and it's awesome. Right now, they're talking about heatwaves and the lobster market.

Enjoyed talking with @coveringclimatenow.org's Mark Hertsgaard about my reporting on Warren Buffett's climate legacy, and Buffett's successor Greg Abel. I shared some advice for non-environment journalists who want to tap into climate, which hopefully everyone does: www.thenation.com/article/envi...

“[A] surge of litigation that nevertheless has remained a low media priority, especially at the local level. ‘These cases collectively represent more than 1 in 4 people living in the United States,‘ reports @climateintegrity.org.”

👏👏👏 "[we] invite manuscripts for a new, first-of-its-kind special collection focused on climate change in the US. This catalog of over 29 peer-reviewed journals covers all aspects of climate, including observations, projections, impacts, risks, and solutions" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

97% of business leaders support the transition away from fossil fuels to renewable energy - poll in 15 major economies by @e3g.bsky.social #climatecrisis #the89Percent www.e3g.org/publications...

“One of the most powerful forms of climate communication is just telling people that a majority of other people think climate change is happening, human-caused, a serious problem and a priority for action,” said Prof Anthony Leiserowitz at @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social in the US. #The89Percent

A major new project led by 500+ media outlets from 60 countries aims to amplify the “silent climate majority”—the 80–89% who want urgent climate action but don’t realize they’re not alone. Energy Mix Productions is proud to take part. More on #The89Percent project:

So while it’s important that journalists write about the problems causing the climate crisis, it’s also important to “put a spotlight on the millions of people from every walk of life who are rolling up their sleeves and already taking action,” says Anthony Leiserowitz. 

#The89Percent #EarthDay

"Outlier" - 74% in the US want more climate action. Yet that is significantly lower than most other countries Why? Partisan divides and fossil fuel interests hold sway #The89Percent www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Most of the world wants stronger climate action

What a compelling, ambitious project from @afpnews.bsky.social. Grateful to @ivancouronne.bsky.social and the entire newsroom for their commitment to the climate story and their support of #The89Percent

This is essential reading, too, for all the journalists who begin their questions to me with the confident but untrue assertion that climate action is unpopular! 🤦‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/environment/... #The89Percent 3/3 🧵

"What would it mean if this silent climate majority woke up – if its members came to understand just how many people, both in distant lands and in their own communities, think and feel like they do? How might this majority’s actions – as citizens, as consumers, as voters – change?"

Attacks on climate and climate orgs are rebutted by the fact that most people in the world care about the climate crisis and want their governments to address it. #The89Percent www.89percent.org www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@therevelator.org: “Yes, Your Friends and Neighbors Want to Talk to You About Climate Change” By @johnrplatt.bsky.social Really, they do — they just don’t think you want to talk about it. So stop being afraid of pushback, break the “climate silence,” and start a conversation. #The89Percent

Thanks to @dpcarrington.bsky.social and @theguardian.com for their big push on the #The89Percent starting today www.89percent.org

The ‘spiral of silence’ blocking climate action and how to end it - Globally, people are hugely supportive of climate action but wrongly believe their fellow citizens are not - revealing the truth could spark a social tipping point #The89Percent Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks Bill. #The89Percent

Amazing to watch @apnews.com firmly stand up to Trump even as many of their WH press colleagues stay mum out of fear of jeopardizing their access. Surely they must know they're next.

It's the fifth year of our awards, and you should submit your work!

The Guardian’s reporting here: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Our first CCNow Basics webinar, on the three pillars of climate reporting (humanize, localize, solutionize) was a hit. Don't miss part two, where we'll learn how to identify, question, investigate and report on climate solutions. coveringclimatenow.org/event/ccnow-...

Audiences are demanding more—and better—solutions journalism. But in a sea of greenwashing, big claims, and doom and gloom, it’s easy to get lost. Join us for a live training session! Learn how to identify, question, investigate & report on climate solutions: coveringclimatenow.org/event/ccnow-...

On climate, did you know that only 11% of people in the US (and even smaller percentages in Canada, the UK, Australia and beyond) are dismissive? Yet because their voices are so loud and persistent, people often think they’re 50%. This is why I advocate so strongly for using YOUR voice!

We at @coveringclimatenow.org are deeply grateful.

"The Los Angeles fires represent a seminal moment for the climate crisis – and for journalism. These are not the wildfires of seasons past." - CCNow co-founders @kylepope01.bsky.social and Mark Hertsgaard for @theguardian.com

What's one key takeaway from our recent press briefing on the LA fires? Don’t wait until disaster strikes to build your climate knowledge. Creating a reference doc for yourself and your colleagues with key facts, sources, and current research can help build this foundation.

RIP American Climate Corps. Read all about it with some of my thoughts here in this great piece in @gristnews.bsky.social grist.org/politics/ame...
