It's a direct attack on scientific integrity across the federal government. Submit a public comment today telling the Office of Management and Budget that politics don't belong in science.

SOLAR SEASON

Vermont turned a copper mine into a 20,000-panel solar farm… and Noah Kahan made it an Easter egg in his new album. See what he said here.

DATA PAUSE

New York lawmakers passed a one-year moratorium on new data center construction. This first-in-the-nation rule aims to give time to study the sector’s impact on energy and water use.

PIPELINE PROCEEDINGS

The Dutch Court ruled that Greenpeace can move forward with its countersuit against Energy Transfer, arguing that the pipeline company used a years-long legal battle to silence it. The back-and-forth lawsuits stem from the Dakota Access Pipeline and the protests that ensued.

SMOKEY PITCH

California faced wildfires last week, and the stadium hosting eight matches in the next few weeks is in the heart of the red zone. FIFA has no plans in place when it comes to smoke and air quality which poses a major risk to players and fans.

DROWNING IN DATA CENTERS

Water-guzzling data centers are two-thirds more likely to be placed in areas facing drought. Data centers are spreading across the country to meet the demand of the AI boom, and could consume 73 billion gallons of water a year by 2028.

COAL COP OUT

Trump is using the Defense Production Act, a Cold War-era statute, to give $700 million to coal plants. The grant protects existing coal plants and opens new coal plants, framed as a solution to the affordability crisis that Trump himself started.

BIG BANKS' BILLIONS

Last year, the world’s largest banks committed a total of $906 billion to the fossil fuel industry. And this year, banks increased their investments by $64 billion, inching closer and closer to $1 trillion as global temperatures rise.

SOVEREIGN STATES

As the federal government fails to act on climate, states are rising to the occasion. Climate justice may depend on states to allocate resources, implement programs and take action on the ground quickly and effectively.

Climate science can be overwhelming. Here’s your easy-to-share highlight reel.
UP IN FLAMES

Fire tornadoes sound like a disaster, but they might actually help clean up oil spills. Emergency crews have long set oil on fire to stop it from burning, but creating columns of flame that resemble tornadoes can help burn oil faster and more cleanly.

DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH

Tailpipe emissions standards implemented early this century helped reduce smog levels, but longer, more intense fire seasons have erased much of that progress. With serious public health worries, scientists are pushing for more wildfire prevention techniques.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Extreme heat will double U.S. hospitalizations by 2040. Scientists are sounding the alarm as severe heat kills more people in the U.S. each year than all other extreme weather events combined. What can be done about it?
