Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
CLIMATE SCAM

We just finished the hottest year Earth has seen in 125,000 years, but 15 percent of Americans still believe global heating isn’t real. Why does fake climate news remain so compelling for some?

OUT OF STYLE

Could overly processed clothing be as bad for consumers as overly processed food? Chemicals like teflon, wrinkle-free finishes, and flame retardants can make us sick, and end up in our water and soil.

FARM FLOOD

How can California solve its water woes? Perhaps by flooding its best farmland. Find out what restorative flooding is, and why it could reclaim productivity.

NO SHOW SNOW

Barely any white Christmases in the U.S. this past year. Ski resorts are closed in the West. The winter looks unfamiliar in many places due to the record changing warmth. Where did the snow go?

RED ALERT IN A COLD PLACE

The hottest year on record is a red alert for Antarctica’s immediate and long term health. Rapid and dramatic change has hit climate scientists and our southernmost continent hard.

SECOND LIFE SOLAR

Old solar panels can still bring on the heat, but this time for food. Instead of heading to the landfill, see how they could be recycled into microwaves.

HOT BY A LOT

Guess how hot 2023 was. Find out how many records were shattered, and what that means to climate and heat scientists trying to understand the issue.

PRISON POLLUTION

Incarcerated individuals face disproportionately more environmental hazards than the overall population. Environmental justice is an issue garnering more attention, but prisons are still overlooked?

MENTAL MIASMA

Wildfire smoke worsens isolation, despair and economic anxiety. In America’s rural areas, scientists are linking these effects to high suicide rates.


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

It can be hard to find optimism amidst the climate crisis. Canary Media takes a step back from the doom and gloom to recap six clean energy wins from the last year.

TO TRIAL!

After many attempts to be dismissed by the U.S. government, a District Court judge is sending Juliana v. United States to trial. The landmark lawsuit of youth suing the federal government has suffered 8 years of procrastination, so this is a win!

TURNING ON OFFSETS

Usually visiting Alaska is an emissions-heavy prospect. But now an innovative program in Juneau has tourists contribute to a Carbon Reduction Fund that actually offsets carbon, by purchasing heat pumps for residents.

UPFRONT INCENTIVE

The federal government has made efforts to subsidize the purchase of an electric vehicle, but you used to have to wait until tax time to get your money back. Now a new federal tax credit offers an upfront rebate, right at the dealership.

PLANTASTIC

Plastic sucks, but it remains convenient and affordable. Researchers have developed a biodegradable, plant-based alternative to plastic that gives the same convenience of packaging without the waste.

FIT CHECK

A new trend on social media is taking a fitness challenge and turning it into a fashion one. Fashion fans and sustainability advocates are digitally tracking their fits and figuring out the cost-per-wear of each item in their closet.

THE GREEN SCHOOL BUS

Why have we been sending our kids to school in pollution-spewing asthma machines? The Biden administration and EPA want a change by replacing diesel school buses with cleaner versions. Find out how this could become the new American standard.

MIDWEST MEGAWATTS

Wisconsin’s largest solar farm is now fully online — and it gets an extra boost in snowy weather. Check it out!

UNION SOLAR STRONG

West Virginia is historically known for coal, which used to be the state’s biggest employer. But now there are five new solar farms in the works, and their development involved local union workers. Find out why that’s a big deal.

SEED SOVEREIGNTY

Indigenous reservations are often also food deserts. But an effort from Montana State University is restoring ancestral gardens of fresh food traditionally grown for thousands of years.

NATURE RIGHTS

It’s time to speak for the trees. A growing campaign for the rights of nature and animals means ecosystems could have legal rights and representation. How would that work?

2023 WRAPPED

2023 was a year of breaking climate records. To match our changing world, the language we use around climate is changing too. See Grist’s wrap up of terms and utterances that are important to understand in this next year.

MISSION CRITICAL

Modern warfare does not just create humanitarian crises, but also environmental ones. Two months of war in Gaza has generated more emissions than 20 climate-vulnerable nations produce in a year. Military impact cannot be ignored.

OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS

Farmworkers are at risk from heat exposure and air pollution every day. Conditions are only getting worse and heat-related deaths are on the rise. Only one state has regulations protecting these vulnerable workers, and the rest are severely lacking.

DOUBLE TEAMED

The fossil fuel industry has for years used the First Amendment as an argument to mislead the public on climate change. Now, one of the industry’s preferred law firms is playing both sides — protecting fossil fuel lies while silencing their critics.

DANGEROUS SIP

Micro-plastics made headlines in 2023, but now nano-plastics are in the spotlight. A new study found hundreds of thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic in every bottle of water. This is definitely not what the doctor ordered.

GAS SELLOUT

Utility companies are desperate to keep methane gas in U.S. homes, and they’ve offered payouts and even paid vacations to builders who agree to install gas appliances.

A DISASTER A DAY...

A chemical disaster occurred nearly every single day in 2023, not just the East Palestine train derailment. What is the EPA planning to do about it in 2024?

PETROL PAYOUTS

Temperatures increase and so do fossil fuel payouts. Big Five oil companies have rewarded shareholders with record payouts of more than $100 billion in 2023, despite public outrage.

LIFE OR DEATH ELECTION

Biden’s signature piece of legislation – the Inflation Reduction Act, or the Giant Clean Energy Bill – is his best ticket to winning the 2024 election, so Republicans are talking about it. The winner of this year’s presidential race will determine if the U.S. can change course as a carbon polluter.
