Should humans play a role in deliberately altering Earth's climate? As interest in solar geoengineering — the idea of spraying millions of tons of sulfur high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight and cool the planet — grows worldwide, this question is becoming increasingly urgent.

The Trump administration’s blatant disregard of bedrock environmental laws puts rivers, streams and wetlands at risk of serious contamination. So we're taking them to court. foe.org/news/army-co...

FACT: Genetic engineering doesn’t fix factory farming—it reinforces it Animals are being modified to tolerate: ➡️ Extreme heat ➡️ Crowded, stressful conditions ➡️ Disease-prone environments. This is not innovation. It’s a dangerous distraction @foodtank.bsky.social foodtank.com/news/2026/07...

The Trump administration finalized a repeal of decades-old regulation that said habitat destruction was a form of harm to endangered species. Overturning the law could allow for mining, ranching and other development to expand into previously protected areas.

Trump has reduced the size of two national monuments in Utah by nearly 3 million acres. He signed two executive orders that would shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments to less than 10% of their current size.

Trump just shrunk Bears Ears by 91% and Grand Staircase-Escalante by 90%. Bears Ears was the first national monument co-managed by tribes. Five tribes spent years building that partnership. It's been walked back. 100,000+ archeological sites now exposed to mining and drilling.
