None of us alive will experience climate better than what we have now. How much worse it gets is up to us.

“Windfall profits from Trump’s war will allow big oil to build a wall of money around its Trump-era political victories,” said Lukas Shankar-Ross, a deputy director at the green group Friends of the Earth. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

We know that burning fossil fuels is heating our planet. New research reveals “a long-overlooked link” between producing plastics from fossil fuels and climate change. "In ocean areas where plastic gets caught in spinning currents," the heating impact "is particularly pronounced," the study found.

Before March 15, 2025, VOA was reaching 361 million people around the world each week & producing content across media platforms in 49 languages. Now, VOA is producing minimal content in 6 languages that largely reflects the administration’s point of view. www.instagram.com/p/DYDOMz3CaNF/

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

"Polls constantly show an overwhelming majority of people want their governments to take stronger action against the climate crisis, but at many international meetings their voices are drowned out by corporate lobbyists or shut down by petrostate vetoes." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Iran War is many things... first of which was a "gift" to Netanyahu, who'd been hounding Bush, Obama, and Biden to attack Iran... but even more notable? A gift to large corporations. THEY PROFIT, while we suffer.

Our Condolences to the EPA On April 14th, Scientist Rebellion and Extinction Rebellion held a vigil in San Francisco for the EPA's most powerful tool for fighting climate change: the Endangerment Finding. The Trump regime gave it the axe earlier this year, ending 17 years of work to reduce…

An administration run by zealots and oil-soaked sellouts, engaged in an epic act of national economic self-sabotage.

Activists are HANGING from harnesses in the MA State House DRESSED AS SLOTHS – because sloths would take faster action on the #climatecrisis than our legislature. Save #MassSave, ban new fossil fuel infrastructure, cut its emissions by 90% by 2030! Imminent arrests are expected.

“More than 1,500 biologists, chemists and other experts at the EPA’s Office of Research and Development have been laid off, reassigned or pressured to retire. Today, only 124 researchers remain.” How the Trump Administration Ended Independent Science at the E.P.A. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/c...

Paris urban biking investment helps cut pollution in half: “Between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — 2 of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/paris-proves...

The Trump admin is doing it again wasting taxpayer dollars to make it happen. The Interior Dept announced it will pay energy companies hundreds of millions of dollars to abandon plans for two offshore wind farms a repeat of the same tactic used to cancel other offshore wind leases just last month.

Around 60 nations are gathering in Santa Marta, Colombia, to plan something the COP climate summits have failed for decades to agree - how to end the use of fossil fuels. #SantaMarta www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Supreme Court hears arguments tomorrow in Monsanto v. Durnell a case that could gut the ability of Americans to sue pesticide makers for cancer.

The XRDC Lamentors made an appearance at the Data Center World conference in DC yesterday.Their pinnies drew attention to drought, raging hurricane, extreme heat, and climate chaos. Unchecked Data Centers are exacerbating all of these things.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

April 26 is a day of global action to support the 1st ever conference on phasing out fossil fuels in Santa Marta, Columbia. The Climate Justice Flotilla (www.climatejusticeflotilla.org) has it's own angle on that day! Here is a viewable link to the CJF "call to action"! 1/2

While your gas prices are skyrocketing, Big Oil executives have cashed out $1.4 BILLION in stock in a single quarter, a 15-year peak in insider selling. In one quarter, Chevron’s CEO sold $104M, ConocoPhillips’ Chairman & CEO sold $54.3M, and Baker Hughes’ CEO sold $33M.

Waking up to discover that evidence has been released proving something we all knew. The Supreme Court's efforts to stop the Obama clean power plant rules were rooted in explicit, corrupt efforts to protect the fossil fuel industry.

The GOP-stacked SCOTUS is a threat to the planet. Literally.

It just never ends. The Trump administration has officially scheduled an auction for drilling rights in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Companies can bid for the right to drill in ANWR starting June 5.

If a company is serious about climate commitments, its banking relationships should reflect that. Take action and urge Expedia & Choice Hotels to drop Wells Fargo! share.nwmd.social/s/pVuTSbMb

I'm attending Indivisible San Francisco's event, “Earth Day Human Banner: "Energy From Heaven"” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisibles...

Took a half day off work to join this vigil to mourn the death of the Endangerment Finding and the environmental destruction that is here and keeps coming... www.kalw.org/bay-area-new...

One hopes images like this, when paired with the knowledge that everything we burn ends up in that tiny slice of gasses, would help contextualize why we need to move away from energy sources we set on fire. One hopes. Climate communicators should make some hay of this.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

Last month, a handful of us went and delivered a couple of oversized cards and a bouquet of flowers (above) to the EPA offices. youtube.com/shorts/dbm0W... Join us April 14th for a larger vigil, mourning the loss of the Endangerment Finding. actionnetwork.org/events/vigil...

Instead of quality health care, houses we can afford, or good schools for our kids, billions upon billions of our hard earned money is pumping into dangerous, failing war crimes for oil in Iran; terrorizing our communities, abducting our neighbors, and caging them in inhumane concentration camps.

March heat records shattered. A massive heat dome stretching across the U.S. And it’s only getting worse. This isn’t “weird weather” - it’s exactly what the climate crisis looks like: bigger, longer, more widespread extremes hitting our communities all at once. apnews.com/article/reco...

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

"DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases in the first six months of President Donald Trump’s administration, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, drugs and other offenses as it shifted resources to pursue immigration cases…"

Fossil fuel companies don't just benefit from Middle East conflicts - they depend on them. At last week's #CERAweek conference in Houston, hundreds of activists and frontline community leaders showed up to say: we won't let you risk our planet and our communities for profit! https://bit.ly/48jaumW

Let’s be clear: restarting dangerous offshore drilling and Sable’s failed, corroded pipeline won’t bring gas prices down. Meanwhile, California’s coastal communities and economies bear the risk. 🚨Tell Congress to oppose Trump’s abuse of power: (202) 224-3121
