One year ago, wildfires worsened by climate change devastated the LA area. Check out our roundup of six photos that show how climate change shaped 2025:

A brief cooldown is on tap, and perhaps some legitimate midwinter weather by late Jan—but for now, most of the southwest 2/3 of the United States is still eerily non-wintry. @climateconnections.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/stil...

I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices. I bet you will be too. Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh? For @climateconnections.bsky.social #energysky yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/home...

Fascinating and important analysis from @karinkirk.bsky.social: "The data illustrates how residential users are subsidizing the energy bills of A.I. and data centers, a perspective backed up by other recent analyses."

A little extra care can help trees withstand extreme heat.

The best place to fight online misinformation is actually offline.

Scientists call this “continental drying”:

Fix indoor air pollution and poor ventilation! I often measure CO2 of 2,500 ppm due to poor ventilation in buildings and airplanes. At this level, COVID spreads easily, and brains suffer: test scores can drop 44%. Suggestions: invest in HEPA filtration, ditch your gas stove, improve ventilation.

💬 This new @climateconnections.bsky.social piece offers research-based tips for responding with empathy when loved ones spread misinformation. That includes listening carefully, asking questions, and gently sharing more accurate information

Did a deep dive into a weird (but also kind of huge) part of the internet that hates LED lights for @climateconnections.bsky.social. Increasingly, there are a lot of places on the internet where wellness creators intersect with climate solutions denial. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/the-...

The incandescent cause is gaining popularity with creators who may not even realize the larger culture war they’re stepping into.

Hot conditions slow reaction time, cloud judgment, and make routine tasks deadly. That spells more danger in the workplace:

@bhensonweather.bsky.social spent most of his career working at NCAR. He writes, "Working at NCAR and UCAR was an enormous privilege and one of the great joys of my life. I gained a humbling appreciation for the intricacy of the atmosphere." yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/trum...

"So now she’s creating a new documentary series about the trip, so people can see what it’s like to drive cross-country in an EV … which – spoiler alert – can be done and can be fun." We don't do 7k mile trips, we do drive 1k mile trips many times a year and doing it EV has *never* been an issue.

We're just 10 first-time donors away from getting a $2,000 bonus from NewsMatch. Will you help us get there? givetoday.yale.edu/campaigns/71...

What’s it like to road-trip in an EV? Sophie Shrand found out:

Still looking for a gift for readers on your list? Here are some climate fiction recommendations from our books editor, Michael Svoboda:

“Sabemos que los deslizamientos de tierra dependen de muchos factores: la situación natural, el uso del suelo, el clima, las condiciones meteorológicas... Todo influye".

“I find it hard to think of any other form of evidence that is more compelling to demonstrate that this is happening, it has been happening for a long time, and we know why, and we understand it, and we can make credible projections” – Torbjörn Törnqvist, Tulane University

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you wish you lived in a walkable community?

For the sixth time in sixth months, global temps have come in just behind the record-smashing pace of 2023 + 2024. And that's w/La Niña conditions in place, which tend to bring down global temps slightly. An update from @drjeffmasters.bsky.social: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/3rd-...

If we get about 25 new donors by the end of the year, we get a bonus $2,000 from NewsMatch. Will you become a donor today? Donate: givetoday.yale.edu/campaigns/71...

Laws in many states protect car dealerships by requiring consumers to buy from them rather than directly from carmakers. This EV advocate wants to cut out the middleman:

What’s holding you back from buying an EV?

As we approach the end of the year, I look at the state of EV sales for @climateconnections.bsky.social. They're a “highly recommended” climate solution by @projectdrawdown.bsky.social. Sales and policies in the USA are stagnating, but they're surging across much of the rest of the world. 🧵 [1/8]

Una mirada detrás de cámaras a cómo y por qué comenzamos a cubrir el cambio climático en español —y lo que hemos aprendido en el camino: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/12/el-m...

Trees cool neighborhoods, filter air pollution, and soak up stormwater. In this city, they also represent the idea “that the future is worth nurturing,” says Justin Dennis of the Trust for Public Land.
