We'll always remember Berta Cáceres for her bravery, determination, strategic brilliance, and her commitment to the Lenca and Indigenous people everywhere. But maybe most of all, her subversiveness in embracing joy as a form of resistance. #BertaVive

By me: Today marks 10 years since the assassination of Indigenous environmentalist Berta Cáceres, a rare leader whose death marked a before and after for many including me. Despite some justice, the extractive economic model and its criminal modus operandi continues apace. drilled.media/news/berta

What’s really behind your soaring utility bills

This story by @naveenasadasivam.bsky.social and @compatibilism.bsky.social is SO good, which makes me SO glad we had Naveena on this week's @climateone.org episode to talk about (surprise!) electricity prices.

What’s behind your sky-high power bill: A region-by-region breakdown

Geography, wildfires, natural gas, wind energy, regulatory free-for-alls — these are some of the factors that determine your electric bills.

It's been a long year for nonprofits who had their EPA grants rescinded/frozen. Their case to get those promised funds is back in court: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/c...

Billions in Climate Grants, Frozen for a Year, Are Back in Court

Congress approved billions for federal grants & programs through the EPA — then the Trump administration rescinded the funding.  Some groups have banded together to sue the federal government; others are seeking alternative funds. How are they continuing to serve their communities? 🎧 Listen Now:

If you've been wondering WTH is going on in Venezuela--and what energy/climate have to do with it, @climateone.org has you covered. 🔌💡

Climate One@climateone.org · 7mo ago

In the month before US forces captured Venezuela’s president, President Trump said, “We had a lot of oil there...we want it back." What are the geopolitical ramifications here? And in a world increasingly powered by renewables, could fossil-fueled conflicts become a thing of the past? Listen now👇

It's official: @climateone.org has a new-ish executive director: yours truly. If you've listened to show or come to one of our programs, and have ideas or feedback, please reach out. I'd love to hear from you, even just to say hi! 👋

E.P.A. to Stop Considering Lives Saved When Setting Rules on Air Pollution

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

The U.S.-Venezuela-Guyana Oil Triangle

The U.S. interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the U.S. oil companies that have staked their future on it.

@sammyroth.bsky.social nails it in today's Climate Colored Goggles: "Social and environmental justice are deeply intertwined. When you’re working to fight climate change and reduce air pollution, the people with the most to gain are marginalized communities."

Not this nonsense again. They tried this in 2018, and were met with overwhelming opposition--not just from enviros, but from coastal businesses like hotels, restauranteurs, realtors, fishing groups, and others who don't want an oil spill to wreck their livelihoods. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Trump targets Atlantic and Pacific coasts for new oil drilling

The move would reignite a fight with coastal state governors — particularly California’s Gavin Newsom — who forced the president to back down in his first term.

For this reason, the Gates memo presupposes a false dichotomy regarding climate outcomes: The choice we are faced with is not between "good for us" & "the end of the world," but instead how much harm we are willing to tolerate, and endure, in the years to come. [8/n]

A frustrating amount of climate work pits "mitigation" and "adaptation" against each other--in a zero sum game where nobody wins. The reality is, the climate crisis is here now. We HAVE to adapt, but we also have to figure out how to walk and chew gum at the same time.

Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, we've already done enough damage that we need to adapt today, as @susannahfisher.bsky.social explains. What does adapting to climate change really mean — for our homes, food, & communities? 🎧 Listen now: play.megaphone.fm/5duieo4is-ej...

We hear a lot about the need to transition fossil fuel workers to the clean energy sector. But how does it work in practice? On our latest episode, Climate One's Austin Colón travels to Kemmerer, WY where he and Caitlin Tam of @wyomingpublicmedia.bsky.social examine how this coal town is changing.

Got a funding appeal from a media nonprofit emphasizing the "impotence of a well-informed public" and I'm not sure how I feel about that.
