The administration is seeking to reevaluate a key permit for Revolution Wind, a $6.2B project that is already generating power for the energy-hungry Northeast.
He’s been linked to someone called “The Hawk.” He named his company “This Isn’t a Dentist’s Office.” The feds say he hacked American environmentalists.
The underwater landscape here was once dominated by towering kelp forests. Often described as the redwoods of the sea, kelp can grow taller than a 10-story building at rates of up to 2ft per day. These dense aquatic canopies form a critical habitat for thousands of marine species and contribute to the ocean’s ecological engine that produces roughly half of the oxygen on Earth.
Until recently, the idea of solar radiation modification was a speculative niche of climate science. That has changed fast. Private firms are exploring solar geoengineering as a commercial opportunity: Last year, a US-Israeli startup called Stardust Solutions raised $60 million, and in May it released details of a suite of new inventions it claims would give humans the ability to dial down the global temperature as desired. In August, Elon Musk, whose company SpaceX might be a candidate for delivering geoengineering interventions, threw his voice behind solar geoengineering, writing on X: “Space satellites to control temperature and massive geo-engineering will be needed or it will be game over.”
The protest, organised by Across Victoria Alliance, brought around 300 CFA volunteers, farmers, One Nation and National party supporters, and a variety of renewable energy opponents into Melbourne on the sunny Friday morning.
Electric vehicle sales are surging in Australia, powering a transition that goes beyond fuel savings to become an unexpected tool to combat high inflation.
A new review shows that more than three decades of climate “fingerprint” research has provided overwhelming evidence that greenhouse gas emissions are driving changes throughout Earth’s climate system.
David Roberts discusses Leah Stokes’ new book, The Carbon Wave at a book signing in Seattle. (I personally attended a Carbon Wave signing at Brookline Booksmith a week or two before this was recorded). The book follows Leah Stokes and several key figures who worked tireless outside of the elected offices to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, the best pieces of climate legislation to date, which despite republican efforts, is far more intact today than you suspect. It is a inspiring book about how the sausage is made when it comes to us laws. Stokes is a long time climate advocate and Roberts is a long time climate reporter. Together, they have an informative conversation about climate policy and the nonfiction political novel. I am not kidding when I say I left the book signing fully energized at 9:30 Pm and have kept that energy as I work my way through the book in my scantily allocated reading time.
A new report by Urgewald, a Germany-based NGO, combines two assessments of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank’s (AIIB) transparency performance. The first draws on the 2025 DFI Transparency Index by Publish What You Fund (PWYF), which compares AIIB’s transparency policies with those of other multilateral development banks (MDBs). The second is based on findings from the AIIB Watch, a civil society initiative monitoring environmental and human rights risks in AIIB-financed infrastructure projects.
Faced with a president who has called global warming a hoax, officials have filed dozens of suits against oil companies to try to cover the costs of extreme weather.
The justices are about to hear a lawsuit that could determine whether the oil industry faces billions of dollars in liability for damages caused by global warming.
Under pressure from Congress, a network of ocean monitors that provides vital data to meteorologists, climate scientists, oceanographers and the fishing industry is being restored.
Solidarity prepping is different from individualistic prepping in that it focuses on social relations. And this is not just a bunch of anarchists saying that. A general in the Swedish military said exactly the same thing: in a catastrophe, the most important thing is social relations. So anything that builds resilient social relations is a step towards having agency in a catastrophe.
The states say that the Trump administration’s standards are less stringent than what automakers have already achieved, and that federal agencies had ignored recent advances in electric vehicle technology when setting the rules. They also contend that the administration overlooked the costs of oil price shocks and climate pollution.
A report from Durham and Lancaster universities describes the US military as “one of the largest climate polluters in history, consuming more liquid fuels and emitting more CO2e (carbon-dioxide equivalent) than most countries.”
Amid political pressure and rising energy prices, the European Commission is considering pausing a part of its landmark methane regulation, which is set to take effect in January.
In practice, this means lots more fossil fuels, because favorable laws don’t apply to renewables under Republican administrations. I also note that this has not passed; they’re agreeing to vote on it after the November congressional election, but before the new Congress takes office.
