EPA FACTS, NO CAP
The administration can try to spin it, but the facts are clear: gutting the EPA of its staff threatens you, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and heightens the risk from fires, floods, and extreme heat. Now former EPA professionals are giving us #EPAFacts — to let us know what’s REALLY at stake.

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

Something that has never happened before now: 6 cyclones simultaneously active in the southern hemisphere. The coasts of Australia, Fiji and Madagascar are all at risk from swirling storms in the southwest Pacific.

HOTTER, OLDER, FASTER

Extreme heat can apparently age you as fast as a smoking habit. A new study shows that chronic exposure to high temperatures speeds up cellular aging in our systems. This wasn’t the “hotter” we were imagining.

FORESTS FOR THE TREES

Think of tree planting like picking stocks: don’t bank on a single species or site and risk it all. Researchers say spreading out varieties across different locations cuts the chance of planting the wrong trees in the wrong places.

MELTDOWN IN THE MAKING

Trump administration layoffs have gutted America’s leading Antarctic research team, halting breakthroughs on glacial collapse and sea-level rise. Only one permanent NSF director is left to manage projects that protect humanity’s coastal future.

BENEATH THE HEATWAVES

Scientists have identified a record-breaking surge in marine heatwaves last year. It takes time for science to identify them, but the results are devastating: mega-storms, mass extinctions, and billion-dollar losses.

FIRE KEEPERS

After Californians cried foul about terrible forest management, the state is instituting a first: an Indigenous tribe, the Karuk, will have full authority to conduct controlled burns on their ancestral lands.

WHERE THE SPECIES ARE

Global leaders finally agreed on a plan to protect biodiversity around the world. Find out how much they agreed to, and who's gonna be funding it.

ROOFTOP REVOLUTION

For decades, the Swiss city of Basel has been transforming its skyline. The result is it now boasts some of the greenest rooftops in Europe, with thousands of gardens on every type of building. How were they able to scale this?

ANTIOXIDANT SHIELD

Could the same antioxidants that give fruits and flowers their vibrant colors help counteract exposure to microplastics? New science is pointing that direction, particularly with protecting reproductive systems.

ACTUALLY, NO

Trump stripped away climate funds. Pennsylvania wrenched them back. And it's thanks to Governor Josh Shapiro’s lawsuit over the illegal funding freeze. Can other states follow suit?

WASTE, NOT WATER

El Paso gets less than 9 inches of rain a year. When you get that little, you have to plan big. A new project just broke ground to secure water for the city: purifying waste water into drinking water.

WHAT'S THE PASSWORD

Why are our utility bills so high? Maybe it’s because a secret society of corporate shills are conspiring in the darkness to raise the rates. If that sounds like a bit of an exaggeration… it’s not too far off.

GEOGRAPHIC BULLYING

When The Nature Conservancy started using the term “Gulf of America” the public was shocked, but a leaked internal memo reveals they were forced to use the name, or lose $150 million in funding.

FIGHT CLUB

The Trump administration is moving fast and breaking things, like our entire system to regulate pollution. What have they done so far, how did they do it, and can we do anything to stop them?

SEWAGE LEAK

In a rare event, San Francisco has issued an official ruling that cities don't need to follow EPA rules if they are “too vague.” The ruling limits the health and cleanliness of our water, and lets polluters dodge accountability. Yuck.
