Bravo! “In her 82-page order, published in the US district court’s southern district of Florida on Friday, Williams determined the facility was causing severe and irreparable damage to the fragile Florida Everglades.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Another face of “climate anxiety.” An outstanding piece by Max Walker about the social culture and psychological toll experienced by firefighters. Why are we not surprised it’s published in @atmosmag.bsky.social atmos.earth/battling-fir...

An incredible piece by @jeffgoodell.bsky.social explaining how the issue of heat amplifies all our existing social and political divides - a world once again, of comfort & survival for some, but not for others. Climate solutions & climate justice are inseparable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/o...

Congratulations to CPA-NA member and expressive-arts committee leader, Ariella Cook-Shonkoff! Order here: bookshop.org/p/books/rais...

“I don’t know why people are so bent out of shape about hope,” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social tells us. “Hope is great.” Read the interview from Issue Fifteen today. www.thedriftmag.com/politics-is-...

This is “climate anxiety.” “I get that people have to go home and return to their lives,” Mr. Richards said, “but you can’t help but feel abandoned.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/u...

“The pollutants were: PM2.5, which comes from vehicle emissions, power plants and woodburning stoves & fireplaces; nitrogen dioxide, which arises from the burning of fossil fuels; & soot, which comes from sources such as vehicle exhaust emissions & burning wood.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

from the New York Times. As the administration rips through FEMA and fires personnel who focus on alert systems (as they did in Texas), they are now hitting local news stations that provide rural areas essential weather related news.

This is profoundly moving and horrible and beautifully written and please read it, everybody. www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense, but our ability to prepare for and react to it is not keeping pace.

Ways to provide support in Texas:

This is wonderful reporting that really brings home the meaning behind this EPA class action - well beyond the headline stereotype - the people, the emotions, the identities, the consequences. Thank you, Amy Green and @insideclimatenews.org! insideclimatenews.org/news/2806202...

“Nearly half the citizens of the tiny Pacific Island nation have already applied in a lottery for Australian visas amid an existential threat from global warming and sea-level rise.” The future is now. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/c...

As only Julian Aguon can tell, a story as beautifully told as it is devastating and inspiring. About how “Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation on the frontlines of the climate crisis, is fighting for climate justice at the world’s highest court.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Will we see you there tomorrow on Zoom? This online, interactive session will help you understand the range and contexts of the climate frontline workforce, and offer opportunities to learn together how to effectively support this particular clientele. www.eventbrite.com/e/supporting...

This is the approach we need to reach those who are suffering the effects of climate change, but who - for lots of reasons - do not identify with the climate movement. In CPA-NA, we are developing support that is not contingent on naming “climate change.” Join us! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/o...

Above all, Mamdani’s highly significant victory is psychological. Finally, an electoral punch (w/a smile) that channelled the resistance of large protests & landed a blow to the despair, cynicism, and slow creep of fatalism that has been there with Trump and the DNC. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/n...

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

June 21 is #showyourstripes day: a day to take note of where we we are in our fight for a sustainable and equitable climate.
