NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


STRATEMAGIZE
A group called Momentum trained many members of the Sunrise Movement, which in turn changed the climate movement. And they can teach you too. LEARN HOW TO ORGANIZE and get involved.
ENOUGH FOSSIL FUELS!
We can’t stop the climate crisis without ending fossil fuels as part of our energy mix. Vulnerable Pacific island nations are calling for an end so they can survive. TELL THE U.S. to sign the treaty.
THE DIRTY DEAL THAT WON'T DIE
Manchin and Schumer still won’t stop the attempts to pass their dirty deal to fast-track permitting for fossil fuel projects. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES to tell them that this bill needs to die before it ever reaches the President’s desk!

The climate crisis in pictures. Our lens is global.

THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE: ‘Climate change is all over this,’ says Terry Murphy, pictured in the remains of his home in Louisville, Colorado, US.

ORIGINAL LAND USE — Indigenous people want to bring back their original food systems, where people work with the land, not against. Dallas Goldtooth speaks with chefs of the Dakota Oyate people to learn how to do it. (Atmos)

When Navy medic Kenneth Morgan returned home to Detroit, it reminded him of a warzone. So, he began working with Gloria Jean Lowe to make homes greener and more energy efficient, and he started feeling better. (The YEARS Project)

JANE’S SEEING RED— Jane was back in Washington last week to call out Congress for even considering Joe Manchin's dirty permitting deal.


Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
SIXTH GREAT EXTINCTION

Biodiversity on Earth is at a massive tipping point and just a few wrong moves could spell extinction for tens of thousands of species. Read this to see which regions and species are most vulnerable.

BAKED ALASKA

It’s December and the Arctic is averaging 11.5 degrees warmer than its historical records. This isn’t just ‘random weather,' it's in large part caused by the effects of vanishing sea ice. Read what's happening.

SAFFRON AND SHRIMP

Vermont dairy farmers at risk from the threats of climate change are finding new things to farm. Innovative ‘agripreneurs’ may soon be offering shrimp and saffron rather than dairy and syrup. How's that, Ben & Jerry's?

STRAIGHT GREENWASHING

‘Net-zero’ goals from corporations usually require carbon offsets. But new satellite research shows that using trees as offsets isn’t making a dent in carbon pollution. This study could upend a lot of corporate greenwashing.

NEW NUKES?

Even though solar and wind is now the cheapest power on the planet and need trillions of dollars to deploy at scale, that won't stop Silicon Valley VCs who want to chase a rebooted Holy Grail, nuclear power, which is far more costly.

LAVA CAKE

The eruption of Mauna Loa in Hawaii has cut off power to the longest-running climate equipment, used to record carbon emissions. Without these measurements, researchers are unable to monitor current carbon dioxide levels.

ASK THE GRASS

California scientists turned to analyzing grass to determine which neighborhoods returned to pre-pandemic vehicle emission levels in 2021. What did the greenery reveal?

RENEWABLES PULL AHEAD

Renewable power sources are set to double by 2027, beating even our best expectations. How is the transition speeding up so fast?

HOW HIGH WE GO

Scientists thought carbon pollution from fossil fuels had peaked in 2019, but unfortunately they were wrong. This year's level is projected to reach the highest ever recorded. Check out these charts.


Here’s what it looks like when people show up, voices ring loud and leaders act for the sake of the planet.
10 WINS IN 2022

We may have lost some…but we’ve won some too. Here’s a round-up of environmental justice wins to honor the progress we’ve made in 2022.

GUARDIANS OF THE REEF

Indigenous women rangers have been collecting vital data to protect the Great Barrier Reef. Now, they’ve received almost $2 million in Earthshot Prize money to expand their program around the globe!

TRAINS HAPPEN IN VEGAS

High-speed rail may finally be coming to the U.S. A new proposal has been made to connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas, potentially removing three million car trips off the road each year.

A BOATLOAD OF EMISSIONS

The shipping industry is one of the largest polluting industries on the planet, but a new law in Europe would require the industry to buy carbon credits that cover 100% of all shipping emissions by 2026.

PASS THE GAS

Montgomery County, Maryland banned the use of fossil gas as a source of heat in new buildings. The countywide gas limits are the first of their kind on the East Coast and are set to go into effect in 2026.

OKAY, LA!

Los Angeles voted unanimously to ban new oil and gas drilling within the city and phase out existing wells over the next 20 years. For those impacted by the pollution, the nightmare may now be ending.

THE VERTICAL UNDERGROUND

Taiwan is taking vertical farming underground, growing sustainable, clean, and organic food in vacant metro spaces. These farms avoid pesticides, reduce labor, and increase crop yields.

TAX PUMP

This week California lawmakers introduced legislation that would fine oil companies for price gouging. This windfall tax will hold oil companies accountable and save the public from getting robbed at the pump.

LIES ON THE DOCKET

Shell and Exxon are being sued in state courts for their role in the climate crisis, but now the fossil fuel giants are petitioning the U.S. Supreme court to have their cases moved to federal courts because they think they’ll have better luck at winning.

LEFT PUSHES BACK

Manchin is still pushing for permitting reform, but using an amendment to the Defense bill to do it. Will he succeed?

WHAT THE FERC (AGAIN)?

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently said climate must be considered for new gas projects, so why did they just approve a massive fossil fuel gas project in Louisiana? What’s going on behind the scenes?

BLOWING HOT AIR

As the U.S. gets closer to developing massive offshore wind, fossil fuel companies are doing everything they can to spread information and destroy the industry before the blades begin to spin. See what dirty tricks they are up to.

ARE WE THERE YET!? (NO)

EV’s may be speeding up but our highway system is being neglected. Before EV’s can really be implemented, we’ll need to find a way to support all the necessary charging stations. What’s the plan?

HEAT PUMPED

German scientists are looking to heat pumps to generate electricity in the wake of turbulence surrounding Russian oil. This clean energy source could be the solution we all need.

OH S(HEAT)!

Extreme heat is here and the world is changing as a result. Merry-go-rounds that sear your skin, daytime heat that gives you a fever, and severe kidney damage are just a few of the current threats. See what else the future has in store!

WOKE UP THIS MORNING

The GOP is waging a war over ESG investing calling it ‘woke capitalism.’ Apparently the GOP loves the free market as long as the market doesn’t turn against the industries that fund their campaigns.

ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS

With billions of dollars worth of government subsidies at stake, the electric utility industry may finally be ready to support strong climate goals. Do we even need to ask what took them so long?

VANGUARD OF DARKNESS

Vanguard has quit the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative (NZAM) and in so doing dropped any pretext of having a climate commitment.
