CONGESTION CLEAN-UP

New York now has less traffic, less carbon emissions, and better air quality, so why is the president trying to kill the bill that made it all happen? See the details here.

PRECIOUS WATERS

A Florida group just won big time against Big Oil. The “Kill the Drill” coalition was instrumental in passing a bill that prohibits oil production near Florida’s estuaries. In a state where environmental regulations have been falling to the wayside, it’s a major victory.

SILENT KILLER

Heat just killed 2,300 people across 12 European cities. Scientists say the death toll was 3x worse than it would have been without climate change. The scariest part? We’re only halfway through the summer and the real heat is only beginning.

GOLD STANDARD

It’s too easy for bankers to think in the abstract. But a group of Amazonian indigenous leaders arrived in London’s financial center to spread their message, and it can’t be ignored. The Earth is being destroyed by capitalism, but there is power to heal it.

BIG BUMMER BILLS

The recently passed Big Brutal Bill is expected to drastically increase electricity costs for consumers. But by how much? This list explains what to expect in your state.

ANXIOUS PILOTS

The aviation industry has a massive emissions problem, and pilots have begun to develop climate anxiety because of it. Who is to blame and what can be done?

LET THE SUN STEW

We’ve been harnessing the sun’s power since the 1970s, but renewable energy is still wildly underused. So why haven’t we been using it more efficiently?

0
BIG AI

The president is, once again, showing he cares more about oil and AI than our futures. Joining oil and tech bigwigs this week, he unveiled an AI and energy plan with a whopping $70 billion bill. Just how far will he go to destroy our climate?
