We’re excited to share that nearly every candidate CARI endorsed won their primary race! That’s a huge win for climate action in Rhode Island.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen: volunteering for campaigns, talking to your neighbors, and, most importantly, getting out to vote!

One thing is becoming clear: this isn't going to be a low-turnout Rhode Island primary. Total turnout as of 3pm is just under 109,000 voters - that's 33% higher than at the same hour in 2022. And election-day turnout alone is running 12% higher despite much higher early vote.

For years, the oil and gas industry has argued that you can’t prove which company caused which disaster. A new study says otherwise. For the first time, a study has drawn a straight line from single corporate emitters like Exxon or Chevron to specific heatwaves and areas of extreme rainfall.

The UN has reported that global warming will shoot past the 1.5 ºC climate limit. This should not be seen as a sign to give up though, we have known we were on this path for a long time and every degree of warming matters. Action now is more important than ever. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
