The Trump administration is preparing to write its own National Climate Assessment, the gold-standard science report that tracks how climate change is transforming the US. Authors could include Grok + researchers who produced the misleading Department of Energy report. www.eenews.net/articles/its...

Trump has long claimed he wants to seize oil from other countries as a result of US military intervention, stating at one point that "to the victor belong the spoils." That would be a war crime, but Venezuela may be Trump's first chance to test the world on the issue. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Trump just said this: "Within the next 12 months, we will have opened 1600 new electrical generating plants, a record. And it's a record that won't be beaten by practically, I would say, by anybody, or certainly not." That's not even on the same planet as reality.

The problem for Trump is that the US government doesn't drill for oil and Big Oil generally doesn't think its worth investing in Venezuela right now: www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Trump wants Venezuela to "return" its own oil and land to the US?

presenting: “i90” live for the first time featuring @brosaleigh.bsky.social when i first wrote this tune, it was for a world where trans folks one day were losing healthcare and rights across the country i did not think that world would come so soon this is the definitive performance of the song

As Trump ramps up US attacks on Venezuela, it's worth noting that the country has the world's largest proven oil reserves, ahead of Saudi Arabia and the US and Russia combined. An escalation there will benefit oil majors as well as Russia. www.eenews.net/articles/5-r...

This is a wild, wild story and suggests that a top DOD official is coordinating with the Pizzagate guy to dox a reporter and his family, including his in-laws.

The CEOs of both Ford and Stellantis, who are there to celebrate the rollback of vehicle emissions standards (which will drive climate change), are standing right behind Trump as he makes these racist comments.

NEW: A billionaire-backed global cooling startup is a few years away from potentially seeding the stratosphere with sunlight-reflecting particles. This is the inside story of how Stardust is developing planet-altering tech that it hopes to sell to the US government. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Ex-EPA officials I spoke to remember past administrators avoiding trips during shutdowns Lee Zeldin went a different route — going to 11 states and Canada, recording 16 days for travel since this lapse's start on Oct. 1 "Not a good look," said an agency staffer www.eenews.net/articles/zel...

NEW: At least three GOP lawmakers took advantage of a decades-old rooftop solar credit that'll expire in January due to Trump’s megalaw, E&E News has found. They all support ending the perk that sliced thousands of dollars off the cost of installing their panels. www.eenews.net/articles/mee...

Ahead of midterms, climate policy has become a wedge issue splitting Democrats. After last week's electoral victories, some Democrats will only talk about expanding clean energy through lens of affordability. Others believe talking about climate change will win voters. www.eenews.net/articles/ret...

my latest: i spent weeks investigating how frustrations about data centers were about to swallow american politics… …and then the 2025 election happened, proving the electoral impacts are already here. read and share my deep dive on the bipartisan AI techlash shaping our elections before our eyes!

My latest on how the Obamacare subsidies at the center of the government shutdown also impact hospitals' resilience to climate change. www.eenews.net/articles/hos...

Anybody know if a University of Chicago economist who wasn't even in the government at the time wrote almost half of the regulatory impact analysis for EPA's endangerment/car rules draft repeal? Because it sure looks like he did. Signal jchemnick.01. www.eenews.net/articles/whi...

The shutdown has left NOAA's network of cooperative research institutes locked out of federal labs and cut off from federal collaborators. In some cases, it's affecting research aimed at public safety—like toxic algae monitoring in the Great Lakes. My story 🔏 & quick 🧵 www.eenews.net/articles/shu...

Today a story I've spent months reporting and writing runs on @desmog.com and @theguardian.com. It's based on hundreds of exclusive documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial across Latin America and the Global South. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

Every oil state disposes of toxic wastewater underground. But in Oklahoma, it hasn't been staying there, creating large, ongoing pollution events known as "purges." An investigation a year in the making for @readfrontier.bsky.social and @propublica.org www.readfrontier.org/stories/toxi...

Conservative groups are working the White House, Homeland Security, DOJ to go after prominent environmental organizations. It's part of an effort to link progressive groups to Antifa, despite the lack of evidence. Stripping away nonprofit status is only 1st step. www.eenews.net/articles/gre...

SCOOP from me: I uncovered that the Interior Department just quietly defunded *two* multimillion dollar research programs studying how whales move and behave near U.S. wind farms actively being built. Trump blames wind turbines for whale deaths, then cuts vital research on the topic. 🧵

“These are not political people,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said of the DOE report authors. But 4 of the 5 have spoken out against the endangerment finding and 3 have ties to groups that employ/promote critics of climate action. @scottpwaldman.bsky.social today: www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

Trump's climate science report was crafted by researchers who are anything but "independent" since they are longtime climate policy critics and have been affiliated with conservative groups funded by fossil fuel companies. That could cost the administration in court. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

As a parent of teens, I'm worried that my own sanity will shatter like glass on a tile floor if I have to hear this damn phrase again.

Tensions are rising between Energy Sec. Chris Wright & the WH over a series of political missteps and policy disputes. w/ @benlefebvre.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Energy Secretary Wright and Interior Secretary Burgum have both cited "pollution" from offshore wind turbines as one of the reasons they need to be scrutinized or shut down.

ICYMI: Our team dug deeper into the Trump administration's misleading climate science report. It's more than a fact check. We show the sleights of hand they employ - fake debates, manipulated data, reliance on fossil fuel-funded experts - to reach a desired outcome. www.politico.com/interactives...

Energy Secretary Wright made tens of millions of dollars as the CEO of a fracking company, so he certainly knows that the natural gas he brought to market is the primary cause of the decline of the coal industry.

Scott, Ben & I went through the entire report line by line to understand the types of tactics the authors use. The examples in our final project are prime illustrations of how this document misleads, manipulates and obscures. Proud to see this story published and proud to work with this badass team.

Ben Storrow, @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social and I are out with a different look at the misleading Trump administration climate science report. It's more than a fact check. We show the sleights of hand they employ - fake debates, manipulated data, fossil fuel-funded experts - to reach a desired outcome.

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns. It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets. Via @heatmap.news

Trump's climate denial tirade at the UN is part of an administration-wide effort to pressure other countries to drop their climate policies and clean energy reliance. Aside from some commitments to buy LNG to avoid tariffs, the pressure campaign is largely ineffective. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Trump's UN speech was one of his most unfiltered and extended climate denial riffs ever, full of falsehoods, lies and distortions. “I’m really good at predicting things...I don’t say that in a braggadocios way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.” www.eenews.net/articles/con...

It used to be global cooling." Climate change is "the greatest con job perpetrated on the world." Climate predictions "made by stupid people." "I've been right about everything and I'm telling you that if you don't get away from green energy...it's a scam." Trump to the UN just now.

"We understood a lot more than people who studied it," Trump says, describing RFK Jr. and their mutual claims about autism research. He notes they have been pushing their claims (debunked by a vast body of research) for 20 years and that the administration's new report stems from their beliefs.

Interior Sec. Doug Burgum is the administration's attack dog on wind energy, killing projects, claiming it's unreliabe. But wind energy doubled in North Dakota during his tenure as governor, now providing 1/3 of the state's electricity. Only 5 other states produce more www.eenews.net/articles/bur...

This post that states "white people did more to end slavery than anyone" is from a climate denier cited as an expert by PragerU, Fox, etc. His tweet perfectly encapsulates how deniers cherry-pick data to support absurd conclusions. (My great-great grandfather was one of those Union casualties)

NEW: A Trump-backed crypto company is warning investors that rising temps “pose a threat” to its operations. American Bitcoin's disclosure is a reminder that companies are still concerned about climate change — despite the president's efforts to downplay the problem. www.eenews.net/articles/don...

None of this is true. Still, NOAA actually studied and tested the issue and found that "There are no known links between large whale deaths and ongoing offshore wind activities." www.fisheries.noaa.gov/new-england-...

The White House has determined that this painting should not be on display at the Smithsonian as part of its new foray into art criticism. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Trump officials may soon hold public climate science debates, recruit more denialists to attack research and go through every line of the National Climate Assessments to highlight doubt, a DOE report author told me. “We will have to enlist other scientists," he said. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Scoop: The Trump administration on Friday sent letters to wind energy developers indicating a crackdown under bird protection laws is imminent They’re targeting wind projects using the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, with six-figure fines and jail time for violations Via @heatmap.news

Energy Secretary Chris Wright now has a government-issued report pushing his brand of debunked climate denial. It comes as Trump admin slashes the climate science that proves him wrong. A growing number of scientists whose work was cited say it was misrepresented. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

The Trump administration's climate science report is riddled with cherry-picked data, sweeping claims easily contradicted by a vast body of research and long-debunked climate denial tropes. @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social and I fact-check some claims here: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

As Zeldin speaks, the heat index at the bottom of the screen is showing parts of the country hitting feels-like temperatures of 121 degrees. Extreme heat is a leading cause of death from climate change, a toll that will increase as CO2 levels rise.

EXCLUSIVE: A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted test of a cloud-making machine.   But behind the scenes, they were planning a larger and potentially riskier study of tech that could dim the sun's rays, internal documents show. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

The Ohio steel plant that lifted JD Vance's family out of poverty was set to become the future of a dying US industry, a global model of decarbonization and modernization. Under Trump, that plan was scrapped and it's now doubling down on "beautiful coal." www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

NEW: Senior NASA officials considering selling or leasing satellites already in orbit. Billions of $ already spent to send probes into space, savings are minimal. Trump WH focused on satellites producing climate data, but they provide weather and other essential data. www.eenews.net/articles/for...
