The report warns that the 1.5 degree threshold enshrined in the Paris Agreement will be breached within 10 years without a rapid and urgent decline in greenhouse gas emissions. 350.org/press-releas...

A month ahead of #COP30, 2m people came to Belém during religious celebration Círio de Nazaré. While pilgrims walked towards the main church, Mídia Indígena & Mídia Ninja held an event to highlight that the Amazon is sacred, & fighting for a safe climate is an act of faith in our shared future.

Weeks ahead of the #COP30 summit, the world has officially crossed its first climate tipping point 🪸 We call for urgent action as scientists issue stark warnings that coral reefs are now in irreversible decline. Read our full statement ⤵

Historic win for nature and climate! Today, at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, the world’s largest environmental network of governments, civil society, and Indigenous Peoples voted to recognise fossil fuels as a root cause of the biodiversity and climate crises for the first time in history.

A federal judge agreed: Trump’s fossil fuel orders are harming young people and worsening the climate crisis. But he said his hands were tied. The Lighthiser v. Trump youth are appealing –because the Constitution must protect their lives before it projects corporate profits.

NC joins with VT & other states! “I introduced the Solar for All program to slash electric bills for working families by up to 80 percent — putting money back in the pockets of ordinary Americans, not fossil fuel billionaires.” www.benningtonbanner.com/news/ag-clar...

This is not good... Record leap in CO2 fuels fears of accelerating global heating: CO2 in air hit new high last year, with scientists concerned natural land and ocean carbon sinks are weakening www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Pipeline Safety Trust works hard to make each conference a place where people in power listen, and community voices drive the conversation around pipeline safety. It is not too late to register for the 2025 PST Conference, November 13-14, in New Orleans! pstrust.org/pipeline-saf...

“In terms of controlling this pollution to protect communities and their environments, transparency around what’s coming from these facilities is a bare minimum,” says attorney Ryan Maher at the Center. Learn more about the work our Environmental Health program does ➡️ bit.ly/3KytEwd

Record (or near record) dry grass/ soil moisture in North/ NW FL. In the future this will become more common. Not for lack of rain. Instead due to warmer - more thirsty air - stripping the ground of moisture. In decades climate projections show the air could be 50% more thirsty over FL!

Join us Oct 26th to tell Governor Stein to put Communities Over Corporate Profit: We Won’t Pay for Pipelines & Data Centers! The only energy emergency is how many North Carolinians have to choose between paying their electric bills & food, housing, or medicine! #nopipelines #climateaction

"So when the shutdown furloughs environmental staff but keeps fossil fuel permits flowing, it’s because the people making those decisions used to cash checks from oil companies." open.substack.com/pub/fossilfr...

BlackRock is seeking to buy Aligned Data Centers, a data center construction company. It’s also going to buy AES, one of the major power providers for Big Tech data centers. While these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

A new Nature study projects wildfire smoke will cause 71,000 excess deaths annually in the U.S. by 2050, representing $608 billion in damages that exceed all other estimated climate costs combined.

After 5 years, our annual meeting is back--join us in Clemmons on October 25th! cwfnc.org/2025meet/ Topics will include: -Water Justice in Recovery from Helene -Energy Justice as NC Faces a Huge Gas Buildout - and Data Centers. We hope to see you there! 😊More info on agenda will be shared soon.

"The issue is that it's the amount of water that it will consume a day with our already pressing water issue here." ~William Ingram, cofounder of the Richmond County Coalition for Justice and Black Empowerment app.publicnewsservice.org/story/nc-com...

“Groundwater conditions in Loudoun County have significantly worsened over the past several decades. Groundwater as a water supply is no longer sustainable as the water table has slowly declined and several droughts have caused some wells, springs, and ponds to dry up.”

Up. Up. And away! North Pacific water temps the past 15 years, with September 2025 being the cherry on the top (right) of the chart. @zacklabe.com is going to need a bigger Y axis!

A bill is sitting on @GavinNewsom’s desk that would lower Californians’ utility bills – all he has to do is sign it. But rumors are swirling that he plans to do the opposite - a move that could prove disastrous for California and for Newsom. A 🧵:

BREAKING: The Trump admin has installed 100+ fossil fuel insiders and corporate lobbyists to roles across federal agencies. These staffers are enacting a dirty energy agenda and destroying our public lands. Our new report with Revolving Door Project breaks it all down ⬇️

“MVP’s proposed extension of its pipeline into North Carolina — MVP Southgate — is now within half a mile of another dangerous proposed pipeline, Transco SSEP, and the burden on our communities will only be compounded. We deserve to be heard: FERC should extend the public comment period."

Whilst on the Global Samud Flotilla, Greta Thunberg clapped back at Trump 👉 "The statements that some of the world's most powerful people are making are nothing less than out of a parody." The climate crisis is real & it's here — for a world where we can all thrive, we need concrete actions now!

As #COP30 comes closer, we look at what's really happening in the host land. The Amazon Rainforest is the face of a maddening contradiction. Leaders of countries like 🇧🇷 present themselves to the public as climate heroes even as they strike new deals with oil companies.

On September 28, tens of thousands of people in Muğla gathered for ‘We Won't Give Up Our Land’, a rally protesting a new bill that will open up olive groves, forests, & pastures to mining. 🌿 Villagers who protect their land, including those from İkizköy, joined forces to #DrawTheLine against it!

While the CETP has driven a historic reduction in fossil financing, progress on clean energy finance is far slower. Less than 1/5 of the funds shifted from fossil fuels were redirected to clean energy, and the clean energy finance isn’t reaching countries who need it most.

NEW: Our new research shows public finance for fossil fuels from @CETP_Sec countries has dropped 78% in 2024 compared to 2019-21 - a drop of $11.3–16.3 billion/yr! This shows that CETP is working - an example of international action to tackle fossil finance! Read ➡️ oilchange.org/publications...

Trump has set his sights on #Alaska as a test case for his disastrous “National Energy Dominance” agenda. For @rollingstone.com, I went to Alaska and met people organizing to resist Trump’s plans. “No one is throwing up their hands and saying 'he’s won.'” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is Louisiana’s Isle de Jean Charles, a community lost to rising seas. Three years after residents left as part of America's first federally-funded climate relocation, they say the promised new homes have fallen short. Read more in our latest investigation: floodlightnews.org/isle-de-jean...

If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate. So imagine my nerd delight to get my hands on an incredible new batch of research on climate obstruction. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

We came to the streets strong, united and with a clear message: we need 2025 to be a turning point – for our climate, for clean energy, peace, and fairness! And we need our global leaders to show up for this task.

"COP30’s credibility rests on how it confronts this ambition gap. Attempts to spin COP30 as a success without such a response seem hollow. If COP30 must respond to this ambition gap, a cover decision emerges as the most credible path forward."

🚨 Six weeks before COP30, Brazil’s environmental agency has approved the final stage of licensing for Petrobras to drill at the Mouth of the Amazon. 🧵

#BigTech's latest extraction scheme is stealing our water and electricity. That's why @mediajustice.bsky.social released, The People Say No: Resisting Data Centers in the South, a NEW report exposing their plays and harms in the South, as well as how we can all fight back. 👉 bit.ly/nodatacenters
