This is the fifth installment in our “Cost of Ignorance” series: a set of campaigns that highlight how the Trump administration is jeopardizing our future, and encourage more people to speak out. This week, we’re focusing on the Department of the Interior, which is opening up coastal waters to oil and gas drilling, canceling major…
It’s been a difficult year—an understatement if ever there was one. With the Trump administration rolling back critical environmental protections, gutting U.S. clean energy development, and actively making decisions that jeopardize the health and well-being of all Americans, it’s been hard not to feel hopeless—and that’s why it’s more important than ever to focus on the progress that’s still happening. Thankfully, there’s a…
Climate coverage in mainstream media is on the decline. According to an analysis from earlier this year, coverage decreased by 25% between 2023 and 2024, bringing the total amount across all networks and segments down to just 12 hours and 51 minutes. It’s alarmingly little time, given the urgency of the climate crisis and the impacts we’re…

This last Election Day, the people made their voices heard. It wasn’t a midterm election, and there weren’t any national races on the ballot.

Here are just a couple of results that have…

This massive hurricane made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5, reaching top wind speeds of 185 miles per hour and producing a storm surge of 13 feet. So far, it’s left nearly 80% of the island without power, driven catastrophic flooding on islands along the hurricane’s path, and killed over 50 people in…
The Marine Mammal Protection Act is under attack. For more than 50 years, this landmark conservation law has protected the whales, dolphins, manatees, and other mammals that contribute to the health and prosperity of our marine ecosystems. It’s helped endangered species bounce back and recover to healthy population numbers. And it’s so effective that not a single marine mammal species…
There’s no two ways about it—Climate TRACE is a game-changer for the climate movement. Co-founded by Al Gore and Gavin McCormick, Cliomate TRACE uses satellites, remote sensing technology, and artificial intelligence algorithms to monitor emissions from 660 million sources around the world. It’s not just the kind of facilities you’d expect, either—Climate TRACE keeps tabs on everything from wastewater treatment plants and coal-fired power plants to planes…
Between their deceptive report on climate, plans to revitalize the U.S. coal industry, and efforts to blame rising electricity rates on renewables, Trump’s Department of Energy has been doing everything they can to derail climate progress and downplay the severity of the crisis. And on the first day of the government shutdown, they announced their biggest attack on clean energy yet—the cancellation of $7.6…
