CLIMATE U-TURN

After years of blocking gas expansions, New York just approved a major pipeline project that could lock in emissions for decades. The choice weakens the state’s clean energy goals and tightens its grip on fossil fuels — just as Trump moves to unravel national climate policies.

FUNDING FEARS

LIFE'S WORK

Over 1,000 chemists, biologists, and other scientists are about to become victims of Trump’s war on intelligence. The Trump Administration will dismantle the EPA’s Office of Research and Development, putting our best and brightest out of business, and setting back research decades.

NOT WASTELANDS

Louisiana’s wetlands store massive amounts of carbon, but when seas rise and land is lost, they release carbon instead. Louisiana’s wetlands are key to climate balance, yet they’re vanishing faster than ever. Will action come before they’re gone?
