The Wall Street Journal is a legacy media institution, one of the most-subscribed-to newspapers in the world, catering to the wealthy investors of its namesake. Breitbart is a blog that spent years laundering Nazi propaganda into mainstream Republicanism. Though some might be inclined to suggest there’s a categorical difference between the two outlets, on climate, […]
Last weekend I girded. I encircled myself with mental armor in preparation for the latest IPCC report, over which climate twitter was already angsting. I told myself I would just read the toplines, and leave it to colleagues to go deep on the policy. I told myself I wouldn’t dwell. There was nothing new except further conclusivity […]
Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a new budget full of important climate investments. As chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, he is in a unique position to make this happen – and with next year’s midterm elections uncertain, it’s more important than ever that we get this voted into law NOW, before the GOP […]
The Washington Post does a lot of great reporting on climate change, and its opinion page is often home to strong pro-climate arguments, like this one from Tuesday about how with the new IPCC report findings, “climate doubters lose one of their last remaining arguments.” By Climate Denier Roundup A day later, though, the same […]
The very short version: After years of warnings that climate change is coming, we can now say that climate change is HERE. But if we act NOW (not by 2030 or by 2050, but NOW) we can avoid the worst of it. More of our IPCC Report coverage: ‘Code Red for humanity’: IPCC Report warns […]
Greta Thunberg addresses the Austrian World Summit, and doesn’t mince words in her talk to leaders including Angela Merkel, António Guterres, and Alok Sharma. “During this time, more and more people around the world have woken up to the climate and ecological crisis, putting more and more pressure on you, the people in power. Eventually […]
With the Georgia runoff election happening TODAY, we need your help (from wherever you are!) to mobilize and get out the vote. Senate control is up for grabs today – and as Mitch McConnell has proved over and over, as long as the GOP controls the levers of power, there will be NO action on […]

If you’d like to make a donation to a worthy cause on this Giving Tuesday… For the past ten years, I’ve been editing and publishing RedGREENandBlue.org, a website that brings together progressive and conservative voices in favor of climate change action. Unfortunately, with the current coronavirus economic meltdown, we’ve lost our primary funding source. So we’ve […]
At the same time that oil and gas majors around the world are announcing plans to tie company climate action to employee remuneration, these same companies are still rewarding executives for pursuing traditional growth that will inevitably lead to stranded assets and financial loss for investors. By Joshua S Hill Cleantechnica These are the findings […]
When centrists insist we need to build more nuclear power plants as part of the decarbonization push to prevent climate change, they ignore one very important thing: New nuclear power plants are fiendishly expensive and have a lousy track record of getting built on time. Or even at all. Southern Company’s Georgia Power division started […]
More of our coverage of the Green New Deal: Here’s the full text of Congress’ Green New Deal resolution, introduced by Rep. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez Is the Green New Deal goal of 100% renewable energy realistic? (Yes!) Environmental Justice: What will the Green New Deal cost vulnerable communities?

It’s been a weird mixed bag of a year, but we still have a lot to be thankful for… And as we officially enter the season of holiday cheer, holiday shopping and holiday excess, can we all think about the planet, too?They say that green is the new black, but that doesn’t mean you have […]
The military has called Climate Change the “mother of all strategic challenges.” Speaking Monday night at the Explorers Club as part of Climate Week NYC, General Wesley Clark – once Supreme Allied NATO Commander during the Kosovo war, Medal of Honor recipient, and Democratic Presidential candidate – gave a rundown of the strategic implications of […]
