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

It’s well known that fossil fuels are the primary driver of climate change. Yet a new report warns that they’re also the source of toxic chemicals linked to rising rates of chronic and deadly diseases.

WHO MET THE STANDARDS?

Nearly the whole planet failed the World Health Organization’s test. Only 7 countries met the standard for fine particulate matter in 2023, the most dangerous form of pollution for human health.

BORN TOO SOON

The residents along the Mississippi River in Louisiana had just assumed they had small babies. Then, Tulane University did this groundbreaking study on how children are being affected there. See the details.

CLIMATEFLATION

Climate change might already be increasing your grocery bill. As temperatures rise and weather becomes less predictable, the impacts are driving up prices worldwide.

NEXT GEN GEO

Geothermal is getting a lot of press as the hottest thing in clean energy, so why aren’t we really taking advantage of it? See why we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place.

TOO HOT COCOA

A heatwave supercharged by the climate crisis hit West Africa in February. Not only did this affect the lives and health of millions of people but also put pressure on produce and exports that the rest of the world depends on.

ANALYZING ALBEDO

Restoring tree cover is known as a proven solution to negative global heating. But in some places, the inverse can be true. Knowing where and when to increase forest canopies is key to maximizing this solution.

FROM CARBON TO SAND CASTLES

A first-of-its-kind carbon removal project received the green light to dump 9000 tons of sand into the open ocean off the coast of North Carolina, intending for the ocean to absorb more carbon. How will this work?


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

Humans, universities and corporations have legal rights. So why not a river? A court in Peru just ruled that the Marañón river, long affected by oil spills, has the right to exist and be free from pollution. Read why this Rights of Nature case is a landmark.

(MUSH)ROOM SERVICE

It’s time to put fungi in the ring against climate change. In Cleveland, they’re already clearing pollution and saving demolition waste from entire homes. Can mushrooms become a real climate solution?

OH, HI SOLAR!

The biggest agri-voltaics project in the U.S. will combine farming and solar on the same plot of land in Ohio. Discover the driving forces behind this energy transition and hear what the naysayers think.

SUN FOODS

What if a community could get good food and community solar from the same place? That’s what this Boston Food Co-op is working toward for a low-income neighborhood.

CALORIES: 150. CARBON: 0

Nearly a quarter of the U.S.'s emissions come from the industrial sector. Find out how Biden’s $6 billion fund will help decarbonize the industrial sector’s activities, all the way from aluminum operations to mac-and-cheese production.

PLANET PROM

Hop in, we’re going thrifting! High schoolers are mixing sustainability and style by buying secondhand outfits for prom.

IT'S A-BOAT TIME

Tug boats do a lot of work! Now, the U.S. has its first emissions-free all electric tug boat making a giant journey… and inspiring nerdy seafarers everywhere.

A PRIME CONCERN

Great news! The world's largest delivery service says its packaging is recyclable. Bad news! It’s being buried or burned instead

MURDER TRIAL

If fossil fuel companies are creating emissions that kill us, then why shouldn’t they be tried for homicide? See why this idea is being investigated.

FAST FORWARDING CARS

Why are we still talking about tailpipe emissions in an era of electric cars? The Biden administration just unveiled the tightest vehicle emissions ever, but many feel like this plan falls short.

BURYING HEADS IN THE SAND

Guess which state I am: I’m adapting to sea level rise, but I’m banning offshore wind, and deleting the mention of climate from existing state laws. Hint: I’m really sunny but refuse to utilize solar power.

LIKE A BAD NEIGHBOR

Up to 72,000 Californian homes will no longer receive coverage from State Farm. The company joins the ever growing list of insurers who refuse to protect those living in regions affected by frequent wildfires.

YOU'RE THE PROBLEM

Oil executives saying it’s impossible to phase out fossil fuels? Shocking. The head of Saudi Aramco has made complaints of a “visibly failing” transition to clean energy that is being pushed forward at an “unrealistic pace.”

HIGHWAY DIVISION

Half of the projects funded through Biden’s infrastructure plan have been allocated to expanding highways, which is disrupting the Black communities they plow through. Why did this happen?

NOT 100% DONE

Companies often tout their eco-friendliness by saying they are powered by 100% clean energy. But can this ever really be true? See how this number is actually calculated, and why it’s essentially impossible.

LEFT BEHIND

The Green Climate Fund is meant to help fragile countries cope with the impacts of climate change, yet some nations have barely received a dollar since its creation 14 years ago.

COST OF DELAY

Damages from natural catastrophes are rising steadily and set to double within the next decade, along with insurance premiums. So who will foot the bill?
