THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT
NEWSLETTER & ACTION TOOLKIT


SUPPORT FLOOD VICTIMS
To help support the flood victims in Texas, help first responders and organize relief for communities, DONATE HERE.
CLIMATE, ACTION!
It's not easy to make a living as an actor, let alone save for retirement, so imagine the shock when members of the union SAG-AFTRA realized their pension plans were heavily invested in fossil fuels? STAND with those demanding that pension managers stop bankrolling climate destruction.
ARE YOU READY?
Are you prepared for an extreme weather disaster? With increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events from climate change, READ how to prepare today using Grist’s Disaster 101 guide.
YOUTH V GOV
The youth are at it again. They're suing the administration for its anti-science, anti-clean energy policies and attacks on institutions that acknowledge the climate crisis. JOIN THEM along with lawmakers, legal experts and partners at the US Capitol in Washington DC on July 16th as they rally for the recognition of children’s rights to life and a stable climate system. Don’t forget to wear blue!
FRAGILE FOOD
Do you know where your food is coming from and where it’s being exported? CHECK OUT Food Twin, a new app that helps you untangle the insanity of our food system and shine a light on a more sustainable path.
PLASTIC PROXY
LEARN what options businesses are able to offer consumers who want to AVOID PLASTIC. SIGN UP for this webinar on July 31 to move us BEYOND PLASTIC!
SCHEDULE THE MEETING
Vanguard, the low-cost asset manager, is also one of the biggest investors in coal, oil and gas. While other asset managers have moved away from fossil fuels, because they don't provide steady returns, Vanguard has not. TELL VANGUARD to meet with climate justice campaigners and invest in communities instead.
ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ
The immigration detention center, Alligator Alcatraz, is located in a critical Florida ecosystem: the Everglades. Not only would it disrupt the local endangered species and conservation efforts in the National Parks, but it is also in close proximity to the Miccosukee and Big Cypress Reservations. DEMAND Florida representatives preserve the land and its people.

The climate crisis in pictures. Our lens is global.

Large number of people missing in Texas floods clouds full toll of the disaster.

Flash flooding that killed 3 leaves New Mexico village heartbroken, anxious as cleanup begins.

5 dead in North Carolina after Chantal; 500- to 1,000-year flooding spurs 200+ water rescues, 65 roads closed.

Turkiye’s Izmir, Hatay and Syria’s Latakia regions affected by wildfires.

Wildfires tearing through a popular tourist hotspot in Greece, forcing mass evacuations.


FIXING FLINT

Flint, Michigan has completed the replacement of more than 10,000 lead water pipes after a decade of the worst water crisis in the nation.

WASTE NOT

A fine-dining Korean restaurant in Washington D.C. has gone completely plastic-free. Can the rest of modern dining keep up?

EXIT PLAN

As the need for climate migrants is expected to increase, Australia is now offering “climate visas.” Nearly half of the citizens of Tuvalu, a Polynesian island nation have applied to be safely relocated.

REVERSE ENGINEER

Can we turn CO2 emissions into oxygen? Two teenagers have 3D-printed a filter that does just that, using algae.

SOLAR MEETS HYDRO

Europe’s largest floating solar farm is now up and running in Perthes, France — on an area of former gravel pits — and boasts unique advantages like erosion limitation.

PAINT THE TOWN WHITE

Atlanta joined the list of U.S. cities that require new roofs to be painted white. These “cool roofs” reflect sunlight, reducing temperatures inside buildings and in surrounding neighborhoods.

TEXAS FLOODS

A deluge of rain in the Texas High Country caused flooding along the Guadalupe River, now killing more than 100 people. There are still many missing and awaiting disaster aid.

PLEAD THE FIRST

Does the Right to Free Speech apply if you’re lying? That’s the new tactic oil companies are using in a complete inversion of the First Amendment. And they’re currently using it in courtrooms nationwide, as governments accuse the industry of misleading Americans.

COURT RULES

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has officially declared that a stable climate is a fundamental human right. And that states must set tougher requirements to maintain a healthy environment. Will this make any difference?

NASTY SIGNATURES

The EPA has suspended 144 of its employees after they criticized President Trump’s politicization of the EPA as an agency in an open letter. This ignores these employee’s right to free speech and the move is currently under investigation.

SINKING SUPPORT

In Kipnuk, Alaska, melting permafrost is flooding the village acre by acre. Yet, a $20 million EPA grant to fortify the riverbank was canceled by the Trump administration, leaving the community exposed and defenseless.

BIG, BAD BILL

It’s official, the Big, Bad, Bill has been signed into law, spelling disaster for clean energy. What were the Inflation Reduction Act’s programs for solar, wind, EVs, and more will now be crushed under the legislation.

WATER RIGHTS

Who owns the billions of gallons of water produced by oil drilling and gas fracking? According to a Texas Supreme Court, it’s now the companies, not the land owners. Drill down into the water rights issue.

LEGAL BULLYING

The outcome of a court case in the Netherlands could shape the right to protest around the world, after Greenpeace was ordered to pay $660 million in damages to an energy company. How is it connected?


CLIMATE MYTHS — Nobel Laureate Al Gore’s new TED talk focuses on what is going right. We have everything we need to make a change. Climate action is unstoppable. (TED)

ROLLING THE DICE — A 30-foot wall of water hit Texas, killing over 100 people, including children. How likely is this kind of flood to happen where you live? The answer can be explained with a roll of the dice. (The YEARS Project)

POLLUTER'S PARADISE — Louisiana has been touted as a “Fisherman’s Paradise,” but a “Polluter’s Paradise” might be more accurate. What would the state's tourism board say to visitors if they were honest? (The YEARS Project)

SUBLIME: CEMENT — Leah Ellis and her team of scientists are working on something incredible. They’re making a new kind of cement to solve one of the industry's biggest problems: pollution. (The YEARS Project)

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
SOMETHING IN THE WATER

Long after a wildfire is put out, you’ll still be feeling it. New research shows wildfire pollution can contaminate water for up to eight years with some pollutants being over 100x higher than before.

NO TRACE

Researchers in Japan created a plastic that melts in seawater in just a few hours. With plastic pollution set to triple by 2040, this could be a groundbreaking solution to a seemingly endless problem. But can it be produced at scale?

CLIMATE BITES BACK

Lone star ticks are spreading fast across the U.S,. and they could soon snack on you. These ticks are venturing into regions once too cold, now with a bite that can make you allergic to red meat, dairy, and medical products.

LOW PRESSURE

Melting glaciers means much more than just rising seas. It also means a relief in glacial pressure that can release underground magma and increase volcanic activity in Antarctica.

METHANE DIET

Three thousand feet below the ocean’s surface, deep-sea spiders are thriving on a diet of poisonous gas. It may seem like a horror movie, but these methane loving spiders are actually an incredible discovery, and scientists are excited to see what they can learn from these unique creatures.

SHRIMP COUNT

On Utah’s Great Salt Lake, fishery managers use microscopic counts of brine shrimp eggs to decide when to open or close the harvest. Maybe not thrilling, but a great example of how science can help keep populations stable both for fishing and ecosystems.

HURRICANE HAVOC

A critical U.S. program that uses satellites to help forecast hurricanes was shuttered with almost no warning. The program can map the entire world twice a day, but by the end of the month, it will go dark with some forecasters saying it could set forecasting back “decades.”
