🔔 #goodclimatenews alert 🔔 The renewable revolution is picking up speed. All across the globe, we’re seeing unprecedented growth and investment in clean energy – displacing fossil fuels and helping to reduce planet-heating emissions.

Canada's newly launched housing agency will build affordable homes. 🙌 They should also be safe and comfortable for residents to live in. That means equipping them with modern, clean heating systems like electric heat pumps! ⚡️ 👉 www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Learn more about our plans at this link, and stay tuned to our socials this week for a deeper dive on each of Stand's Climate Week events.

From Portugal to California, one wildfire solution is gaining attention: rewilding by reintroducing wild herbivores.

The Trump regime wants to rescind the decades-old Roadless Rule in order to build more roads through national forests across the U.S. – a big concern considering the administration’s desire to increase timber production in those same forests.

ICYMI: The Trump regime’s DOE’s draft report isn’t science - it’s spin. It cherry-picks evidence, ignores consensus, and was written in secret by a hand-picked few. Last week, independent experts called it out. #ScienceNotSpin #RealScience

It’s time to fight back. On Sept 20th, we will #MakeBillionairesPay. All across the world, authoritarian regimes are rising. A tiny circle of billionaires is profiting off the mess while the rest of us, especially women and gender-expansive people, scramble to keep families safe.

On September 21, 2025 Stand.earth is joining @sundayofaction.bsky.social to harness the power of the sun! 🧵

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Everyone say: thank you, scientists! 🙌 “Whether people realize it or not, climate change impacts everyone, regardless of the current political environment,” said Rebecca Lindsey, leader of the effort to build climate.us and former managing editor of climate.gov. #ClimateChange #Climate

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Great turnout for a joyful gathering in Asheville today to stand in solidarity with workers rights, and against the billionaire agenda that is destroying our democracy and our planet. The people united can build a better future where we all can thrive. #WorkersOverBillionaires #LaborDay #UnionStrong

I don't think we fully grasped yet how important solar will be as an energy source. Great graph @carbonbrief.org based on @iea.org data.

“Do not come to Chicago” -JB Pritzker This is what we have been talking about, since 2020. Hit back harder. That’s how you win a fight. The entire Democrat party should be taking notes.

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Standing in solidarity with friends and family in my hometown of Chicago as they stare down threats of an unwanted, unnecessary, and unlawful authoritarian invasion. Take care and stay strong. ✊🏻

When you hear folks asking why there’s so many unnatural disasters wreaking havoc on communities across the globe, give them the truth: #ThisIsClimateChange. We need bold climate action to protect our communities from these devastating disasters – and we need it NOW. #LaterIsTooLate

In case you haven’t heard, Canada just got a COMPLAINT from some lawmakers in the United States about the smoke drifting across the border from wildfires. This performative finger-pointing isn’t just insulting – it’s ineffective.

A new study has found that marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers: blue whales. 🐳

Historic flooding in Wisconsin prompted a state of emergency over the weekend, with over a foot of rain falling in Milwaukee – forcing the cancellation of the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair. #ThisIsClimateChange.

An entire news crew working for Al Jazeera was killed by Israel as they sought to bring the world firsthand reporting from #Gaza. Among them was prominent journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who had been previously smeared and threatened by the IDF. #NotATarget Full statement: cpj.org/2025/08/isra...

Impressive turnout, an extremely fired-up crowd, and powerful speeches by Bernie Sanders, Rev. William Barber, and several local organizers at the Asheville stop tonight on the Fighting Oligarchy tour. Event staff said that more than 7,500 people registered and close to that many were in attendance.

The comment thread on this post is BRUTAL; rife with "they deserve this for voting for Trump." My county in WNC is solidly blue, and even red pockets don't deserve this. When we celebrate individuals suffering rather than organize against the powerful, we mirror MAGA's cruelty. We need to do better.

⚡️ The Indigenous Women’s Conference has kicked off today in Brasilia! 🧵

American Eagle's controversial ad campaign is all over the news and everyone's algorithms. But you know what they're not talking about? The brand’s glaring 'D' rating on Stand.earth’s Fossil Free Fashion Scorecard... 🧵

I think there’s a big difference between “all hope is lost” and “I have lost hope” and in climate it is really important to distinguish between the two. My personal feelings, your personal feelings are not the limits of our collective politics.

After a five-day halt due to a lack of supplies, our team at WCK’s Deir al-Balah Field Kitchen has resumed limited hot meal service in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/3)

Donald Trump’s AI proposal was clearly written by big tech companies and will raise people’s electric bills, prop up fossil fuels, and allow for unregulated growth of this dangerous technology. We the people say no. Join the push for a People’s AI Action Plan instead: stand.earth/PeoplesAI

Leadership and bravery by the world's top court: The International Court of Justice said failure by countries to meet their climate obligations could, in specific cases, lead other states affected by climate change to litigate. Unleash the lawyers. Sue. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Striking chart in new Economist. Just look at lung cancer's mortality rate rise then fall Corresponds almost exactly with the lobbying efforts by Big Tobacco to undermine efforts to limit their product's deadly impact - followed by when their influence waned. Now need same for fossil fuels

The catastrophic floods in Texas have made it painfully clear: unnatural disasters put us ALL at risk. We must demand climate action NOW to protect the people we love from the devastating impacts of the fossil-fueled climate crisis. #LaterIsTooLate

Last week, the U.S. experienced FOUR 1-in-1,000-year storms. And we know what’s to blame: climate change.

So turns out #PrimeDay maybe didn't go so hot for Amazon? 😏 Hot tip for next year 👉 give us the deal that 80% of Prime Members want: stronger action on climate 📦

Nature is still doing an enormous job of cleaning up our carbon emissions despite our best efforts to hinder her efforts. Gerard Wedderburn-Bisshop, principal scientist, explains the data on just how much work nature is putting in for us. Full episode at www.planetcritical.com/p/gerard-wed...

Solar power is now California's largest source of electricity. ☀️🔌💡

“In less than a week, there were at least four 1-in-1,000-year rainfall events across the United States — intense deluges that are thought to have roughly a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year.” 🌎 www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...

DO NOT GIVE UP! Our advocacy is working. A key Senate committee has indicated that it will reject Trump’s proposed cuts to science agencies including NASA and the NSF. Keep speaking up and calling your electeds 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Gallup has new polling on immigration. Topline findings: -Americans hate Trump's immigration policy (35% approve, 62% disapprove) -Share who say immigration is a "good thing" for the country just hit an all-time high (79%) news.gallup.com/poll/692522/...

You know what's cool? Solar energy surpassing dirty coal across the EU! Almost like the sun 🌞 and wind 🌬️ provide everything we need, and we don't need fossil energy of the past to power our homes 🧐 #Solar #GoodClimateNews 🔗

It’s never too late to protect the people and places you love. In times like these, where those in power are failing to protect us from the #ClimateCrisis, we need to strengthen our local communities. 🧵

I have a piece up @msnbc.com today, on the logistical challenges of hiring 10,000 ICE agents. The text is “it’ll be hard to do.” The subtext isn’t “so don’t worry,” but rather “this means there are still ways to resist and undermine the effort.”

No one deserves to lose their livelihoods, their lives, or their loved ones in an unnatural disaster. The #ClimateEmergency impacts us all. The people suffering are not the ones to blame.

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

Devastated by the tragedy in Texas. Having lived through catastrophic flooding in Asheville last year, it is horrifying to watch extreme weather like this happen with increasing intensity and frequency. This while the Trump regime celebrates life-threatening cuts to staff at the NWS, NOAA, and FEMA.
