"The present trend of fossil fuel consumption will cause dramatic environmental effects before the year 2050.” -1979 internal Exxon scientific memo. #ExxonKnew — but lied. Big Oil's deception stole a generation's worth of time to act. Now we are paying the price. It's time for accountability.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

Last weekend was hot. So hot. Climate change means we've got more weekends like that in our future. It'd be better if we didn't have climate change (working on it), but there's actually a surprising amount we can do to make extreme temps more bearable and less deadly right now. ➡️ HeatAgenda.us

Why is the EPA attacking clean air standards that predate the iPhone and have already been fully implemented? UCS’s David Reichmuth explores that question and explains why strong standards are key to slowing climate change. Read his blog:

Why the EPA Is Attacking California’s Clean Car Standards (Again)

Automakers are already complying with these standards, put into place before the first iPhone release. Why is the EPA targeting them?

At a time when millions of American families are facing heat waves, stronger storms, and rising electricity bills, the Trump administration is wasting taxpayer dollars to keep coal—a more expensive, dirty source of power—alive instead of investing in cheaper, cleaner energy.

Public health authority says 2,025 excess deaths probably an underestimate and that it expects toll to rise further

Big Oil has run the most consequential and harmful climate deception campaign in history, delaying the inevitable transition to cleaner, safer energy by a matter of decades. The public is now paying the price for that deception, and deserves accountability.

The nuclear-armed states spent 119 billion dollars on nuclear weapons in 2025. This is a 19% increase from last year. This wasted money could be better spent to address any number of humanitarian or health challenges worldwide.
