Make no mistake — the fossil fuel industry would absolutely love a world war to kick off right about now because that way they could continue to make more money, amass more power, avoid criminal accountability, and stop the transition away from their products under the guise of national security.

The Constitution is very clear: War powers belong to Congress, not the White House. Contact your senators and demand that they check the regime’s lawless violence — or there’s no telling where this will end.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I was prepared for the fascism, but I wasn't prepared for so many of my friends, family, and neighbors to think I'm crazy and overreacting about said fascism. The only people who seem to truly recognize the danger we're in are my husband, two best friends, and my incredibly Appalachian granddaddy.

Climate science is under direct attack in the United States like never before. If they can successfully gut climate research and grants, they’ll come for scientists and activists next — and not just to diminish our credibility. They fully intend to arrest us, and that’s why I’m preparing for.

Don’t want toilet rats? Become a climate activist!

"Attempting to erase a country’s scientific heritage, as the Trump administration is now trying to do, should be of concern to every US citizen. Because if climate science is viewed with disfavor today, other fields of scientific inquiry might be next in line for the chopping block."—Ben Santer.

Big Oil is selling the promise of “low-carbon data centers” using carbon capture, reports @emdashsanders.bsky.social. But these plans could "easily transform into a sprawling build-out of high-polluting methane gas infrastructure" with lasting impacts to "the climate and communities nearby."

It’s the last edition of Good Climate News for the year, and I cover six of my favorite stories of progress on climate from 2025!

Being a climate activist also means being an anti-war activist — especially when your country keeps starting wars and destabilizing economies just to secure more oil!! Take action: act.indivisible.org/sign/tell-co...

I woke up to the news that I got verified here on Bluesky and that I hit 25,000 subscribers on Substack. Thanks everyone!!

This is what happens when the fossil fuel industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars to influence elections in their favor.

The United States wants to go to war over oil again. Let’s all demand that Congress stop hostilities before it’s too late. It literally took a minute to take action.

A couple weeks ago, I tried to say that the US was about to go to war with Venezuela over oil, and so few believed me.. Yet here we are..

I just read the news that there is a direct passenger rail route being developed between England and Germany. I often travel between the UK and the mainland when I'm in Europe for work, and this would make those trips so much more sustainable (and enjoyable). No more train/bus/ferry hopping!

Every time a climate scientist says we shouldn’t worry about generative AI and the data centers needed to run it, the movement loses potential activists. Just because these data centers aren’t major emitters, doesn’t mean they won’t cause environmental injustices or emissions to rise.

The most sustainable option is making what you already own last longer!🎄

So many drivers are complaining that my city redid a street to be curvy and to have raised intersections. They’re complaining that they can’t speed on that street anymore which is the whole point!! This street was redesigned to be a pedestrian-friendly commercial street — not a drag strip.

I’m officially done with Threads. Despite having a larger following there, I won’t be posting there anymore. It’s not worth it when my entire feed and most replies to my posts are ragebait, bots, and trolls. I did the same with Twitter years ago, so hopefully Bluesky will be better!

It’s the second to last edition of #goodclimatenews for the year, and I’m covering some of my favorite stories from 2025. Stay tuned for part 2 next week!

I’m officially too old to understand what kids are saying online. I just had to have a young person translate this comment for me. It means: “This shit pissed me off so much, are you for real right now? Ain’t no way💀” Apparently the kids do not like that lighted fishing nets reduce bycatch..

Collaboration is how we’ll save the sea turtles 🙌

It’s time for another round of #GoodClimateNews!

I’m still pissed that the COP30 agreement didn’t include text about phasing out fossil fuels, but I don’t want you to think that no progress happened in Belém. That’s why I cover four of my favorite stories from COP30 in the latest edition of Good Climate News which now has over 24,000 subscribers!

Young people are messaging me again that they’re getting suicidal over climate change — and they’re citing many climate scientists who use this app as the reason why they believe things are hopeless. Please please please be mindful of the way you communicate climate issues. It’s causing apathy.

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

I’m definitely not jealous of Australia..

Has your electric bill risen recently? Mine sure has despite making energy efficiency improvements to my home and overall using less electricity than in years past.

I’ve started to receive threats from anonymous accounts because I’m trying to stop a nuclear facility from opening up in my county. It won’t produce anything for energy — just highly depleted uranium for armor piecing ammunitions. Why threaten me if I’m telling the truth, BWXT and your employees?

Help me stop a high purity depleted uranium facility from opening where I live in Washington County, TN. It won’t be used for energy — just defense purposes. Take action at the link in the replies. It just takes a minute and could help my area avoid another environmental injustice.

Negotiations at COP30 have gone into overtime because a handful of major oil producing countries are refusing to allow text about a fossil fuel phaseout despite the overwhelming evidence it must happen or addressing climate change will be futile.

Last year I survived a climate disaster that killed hundreds of people across my region and is costing us billions of dollars to recover from. To see that the proposed final agreement out of negations at #COP30 once again doesn’t include language about phasing out fossil fuels is beyond insulting.

What do you mean I went into the woods for literally two hours and I come back to the president actively calling for democratic lawmakers to be killed over encouraging service members not to follow illegal orders??

Telling folks concerned about AI data centers that they aren’t a climate issue actively discourages them from taking action and ignores the fact that these data centers are often environmental injustices. This is the perfect opportunity to get more climate activists, and y’all are squandering it!!

$1 billion that could’ve gone towards new clean energy projects that would actually provide power for people and not corporations.. I’m so tired of these data centers raising electric rates, energy demand, and emissions!

The science is clear. The economics are clear. The health impacts are clear too. We can’t meet the goals of the Paris Agreement or effectively address the climate crisis at all until the world agrees to quickly and equitably phase out fossil fuels. FOSSIL FUELS HAVE GOT TO GO ASAP!

Let’s start the day off right with some evidence-based hope! Read more: open.substack.com/pub/goodclim...

Big polluters have no place at #COP30. Let’s ban all big polluter lobbyists from future climate negotiations. If they were serious about being part of the solution, we wouldn’t need these negotiations in the first place because the problem would never have gotten this bad.

I will never understand why so many American climate activists are okay with Appalachia — one of the most biodiverse places in the world that has been on the frontlines of fossil fuel exploitation for centuries — getting destroyed by climate disasters because of classism and electoral politics.

From a global treaty on overfishing going into effect to Colombia buying solar panels for low income households, there is still plenty of hope when it comes to the climate crisis. Read more in the latest edition of Good Climate News at the link below.

Fossil fuel lobbyists once again make up the second largest delegation at #COP30. That’s beyond unacceptable. It’s like letting wolves into a conference run by sheep about what to do with the wolf problem and then letting the wolves dictate what the sheep will do to them.

The new climate reports are scary, but what’s even scarier is the hold the fossil fuel industry has on the world. Without them influencing our politics and economies, those climate reports would be a lot less scarier. That’s why the industry should be banned from all future climate negations.

These mundane milestones are how #climatesolutions get better 🙌

Climate disinformation is on the rise because of COP30. Please be weary of any/all climate information you see online right now — especially around climate solutions. Bad actors are working overtime to make it look these solutions are worthless.

Big polluters being held accountable always brings a smile to my face which is why I included eight (!!) recent examples from all over the world in the latest edition of Good Climate News.

Africa is making our solarpunk dreams a reality! In Kenya, a company called MycoTile is making biodegradable yet affordable building materials out of fungi grown on plant-based agricultural waste.

So many pro-climate candidates won their races last night across local and state elections, and hopefully that will force the DNC to stop dragging their feet on climate to appease corporate donors. We the people want climate action, and we want it now!!

Last month I found the best rolloff dumpster in the history of rolloff dumpsters while visiting Folly Beach. Y’all better support this woman-owned business if you live in the Charleston area. It’s so incredibly rare for women to work in the solid waste industry!
