Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

The planet isn't "dying" of natural causes. Forests don't just disappear. They are logged. Oceans don't just choke. They are polluted. Rivers don't just dry up. They are diverted. This is not a tragedy. It's ecocide. And ecocide should be a crime. #StopEcocide

Ahead of Monday's arguments in Suncor v. Boulder, CCI President Richard Wiles explains why Big Oil companies are "absolutely terrified" of climate deception lawsuits and desperate to stop them from going to trial. "The evidence of Big Oil’s climate lies is overwhelming."

3.7–3.9 million tonnes of pesticide active ingredients are used worldwide every year — more than double the amount in 1990. Most of us never see the fields. But this invisible flood is saturating soil, water, pollen, and nectar. Our food system is being quietly poisoned at industrial scale.

Solar passed nuclear in Texas 2 years ago. Now it's double. Texas is what makes this chart powerful. This isn't green ideology winning. It's pure economics. Solar is cheap, modular, scalable & incredibly fast to deploy. Wind keeps growing too. When economics take over, ideology becomes irrelevant.
