Activists Throw Wet Blanket On FERC’s ‘Blanket Certificate Policy’ Changes

July 22, 2026 Phil Pasquini, LA Progressive. Resist! climate crisis, Deregulation, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, Fossil Fuels, Pipelines

As they have for the past decade, the environmental activist group Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE), along with other frontline groups, has protested, demonstrated, and attended the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) monthly public meetings at the Washington, DC headquarters to bring before the commission their concerns regarding an end to fossil fuel expansion. Before the July 16 meeting, BXE members began an early morning sit-in to protest FERC’s proposed blanket certificate policy changes. Activists blocked the building’s garage entrance where they disrupted access as arriving workers and commission members were turned away.

How Big Oil Spent Decades Selling The Myth Of ‘Clean’ Natural Gas

July 21, 2026 Sarah Hofmann, DeSmog. Educate! Big Oil and Gas, Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Natural Gas

For the past 50 years, Americans have been told that natural gas was the clean fossil fuel, a climate-friendly choice for heating homes and cooking meals. But according to a new investigation, major oil and gas companies promoted that message while knowing all along that gas was a major source of air pollution and a contributor to climate change. A report released today by the Center for Climate Integrity shines a light on a decades-long public relations campaign by oil and gas companies to re-brand natural gas as “clean energy,” despite internal knowledge dating back to the 1960s that methane emissions from natural gas posed climate risks.

Meet Our New Private Jet Tracking Initiative

July 19, 2026 Chuck Collins, Inequality.org. Organize! Billionaires, Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Private Jets, wealth inequality

After nearly two decades of tracking the American private jet industry here at the Institute for Policy Studies, we are formally launching the Private Jet Accountability Project with a Tax Private Jets campaign during the final games of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. IPS has been tracking the emissions impact of mega-events, such as the Super Bowl and Davos for many years. But this year’s World Cup might be the biggest of these events yet, starkly illustrated by FIFA Chief Gianni Infantino burning up the atmosphere with multiple jet flights a day, when he isn’t busy nakedly overturning onfield decisions for his favorite president. (Perhaps he even made that call at 50,000 feet.)

The Chris Hedges Report: Democracy Necessitates Resistance

July 18, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report, Scheer Post. Resistance Report Chris Hedges, climate crisis, Direct Action, Extinction Rebellion, State Repression

We are living in an age of climate collapse, which will most likely result in mass displacement and death, warns Roger Hallam, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion in the United Kingdom on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report. . And while that reality is hard to accept, it is an honest assessment of what lies ahead that must be addressed as we decide how to navigate what Hallam calls humanity’s “darkest hour.” In his new book, “Suicide: The Political and Legal Implications of Creating Endless Mass Death,” written while he was in prison for climate action, Hallam shares his background in academic sociology and organizing for social change to provide tools for resisting under the current repressive legal and political systems.

Repeated Storms Are Turning Disaster Recovery Into A Way Of Life

July 18, 2026 Lee Ann Rawlins Williams, Resilience. Strategize! Climate Adaptation, climate crisis, Disaster Recovery, Extreme weather

Flash flooding has been tearing up communities across the U.S., with heavy downpours sending creeks and rivers rushing over their banks from Texas to Kentucky, across the Midwest and into the Mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast. Texas’ Hill Country was hit hard again when a powerful storm triggered flooding on the Guadalupe and other rivers on July 16, 2026, in the same region where more than 100 people, including young campers, died in flash flooding on July 4, 2025. In Missouri, floodwater swept away a home, and National Guard helicopters had to rescue and evacuate dozens of people from a summer camp.

Shocking Revelations Out Of West Antarctica

July 18, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! Antarctica, climate crisis, Glaciers, Global heating, Sea level rise

It’s mid-winter but a large area of West Antarctica that should be frozen solid is not frozen. What’s up? Antarctica is the coldest spot on the planet where the average winter temperature is -34.4°C (-30°F), but it does vary by region. For example, inland locations like the South Pole average around -60°C (-76°F), while coastal areas such as the Antarctic Peninsula range between -12°C and -20°C (10°F to -4°F). The area recently experienced a winter heatwave, but that has passed. Winter heatwaves happen on occasion, but the ice always, always, always refreezes for as long as anybody can remember.

Big Tech Joins Big Oil In Ruining Summer

July 17, 2026 Clara Vondrich, DeSmog. Educate! Big Oil, Big Tech, climate crisis, Data Centers

More than a century ago, Czech writer Karel Čapek invented the word “robot” for his play R.U.R., Rossum’s Universal Robots, about a factory that churned out humanoid machines whose mission was to liberate real people from work. Instead, the robots fomented a rebellion and killed off the human race. Some version of this tale has played out in dozens of books and movies ever since. Now, with the runaway expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and the data centers needed to feed its insatiable maw, we will have the dubious privilege of seeing if life imitates art.

Campaigners Disrupt Event Demanding Venues Stop Hosting Fossil Fuel Firms

July 16, 2026 The Canary. Resist! Big Oil, climate crisis, Fossil Fuels, United Kingdom (UK)

Amidst the third heat storm of this year, campaigners demanded an end to London venues hosting events for fossil fuel companies. Fossil Free London campaigners disrupted inside the QEII Centre in Westminster while the venue hosted its annual Summer Showcase. This is an invitation-only event marketed to the events industry where companies can find suitable locations for their corporate events. In protest over London venues hosting oil and gas events, five campaigners entered the 40th birthday party event at the QEII Centre and disrupted the event. They requested to give a birthday speech within the DJ booth.

Extreme Heat Takes Farming To The Brink

July 11, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! climate crisis, Farming, Food and Agriculture, Fossil Fuels, Global heating

Ever since the landmark Paris ’15 UN climate agreement wherein 195 nations agreed to cut fossil fuel CO2 emissions via NDCs 30% to 60% by 2030, the opposite has happened. It’s now ten (10) years since Paris ’15, and according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have reached an all-time high, peaking at an average of 432.3 ppm in May 2026. This is the opposite of what the parties agreed to do and based upon current and proposed cuts, Paris ’15 is dead. The nations of the world have failed. Their failure is now showing up in climate change

Super El Niño Is Here; We Must Organize To Prepare For It

July 11, 2026 Kaylie Couch, People's World. Organize! climate crisis, El Nino, Extreme weather, Mutual Aid

As of June 2026, the National Oceanographic Association of America has warned that a “super El Niño” is forming in the Pacific. With wildfires and a statewide drought emergency threatening the most vulnerable in our communities, we are warned that a drier, warmer winter is on the way. The higher temperatures at the surface of the ocean are reaching anomalous levels, and it’s going to have a variety of negative impacts on our society. This “super El Niño” is not the first, and it certainly won’t be the last. With rising global temperatures, we will be seeing a lot more warm water circulating in the oceans, leading to greater cycles of El Niño and La Niña.

The $1.5 Trillion Climate Solution We Can’t Ignore

July 10, 2026 Aaron Kirshenbaum, Scheer Post. Create! Austerity, climate crisis, military spending, Pentagon

Last week, millions of people around the world were subjected to record-breaking heatwaves. At least 25 deaths in the U.S. from this heat dome were reported. The French government also counted over 2,000 excess deaths during the June heatwaves. At the same time, this past weekend, a devastating super typhoon hit the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, leaving islands like Rota, where 2,000 people live, without running water and most buildings impacted. In both cases, the people least responsible for the climate crisis are the most vulnerable to its effects. And in both cases, people’s ability to withstand crises has been made dramatically worse by militarization.

A Brief Introduction To The Bioregional Movement

July 10, 2026 Karie Crisp, Resilience. Create! Bioregions, climate crisis, Sustainability, Transformation

The contemporary bioregional movement emerged from the 1960s counterculture, anti-war activism, ecological thought, and back-to-the-land experiments, but the impulse behind it is far older. Human societies have historically developed in relationship with particular landscapes, and for most of human history, culture was inseparable from place. Today, such place-based relationships remain especially evident within Indigenous and other Earth-based traditions. Northern California became one of the movement’s early centers. A network of writers, artists, activists, and organizers sought to renew relationships among humans, the more-than-human world, and the places they inhabited.

Stay Out Of The Heat, Officials Said, But Apps Sent Workers Into It

July 9, 2026 Gary Wilson, Struggle - La Lucha. Educate! climate crisis, Global heating, Platform Workers, Workplace Safety

In the first week of July 2026, a heat dome settled over the central and eastern United States. Heat indexes reached 115 degrees. More than 185 million people were under heat alerts, and more than 30 people died before the heat broke. The real count will rise, because heat often kills through the heart, kidneys and lungs and is recorded as something else. Millions of people were told to stay indoors. Delivery workers were sent into the streets. That is the app economy’s business model in physical form. When the weather becomes dangerous, those who can afford to stay inside order food, groceries and medicine.

Vermont Is Boosting New Homes That Can Cut Energy Use In Half

July 4, 2026 Alison F. Takemura, New City. Create! climate crisis, Energy Efficiency, Housing, Vermont

Vermont just got its biggest delivery of superefficient manufactured homes — the latest example of how a pioneering state program can lower energy bills for residents of this type of affordable housing. The all-electric, heat-pump-equipped homes slash energy use by more than half compared with new conventional manufactured homes. To achieve that feat, each meets the exacting specifications under the Advanced Manufactured Home program, which was created by the state’s energy-efficiency utility Efficiency Vermont in 2024.

Why Are Climate Activists Protesting A Climate Conference?

June 30, 2026 Abi Perrin, The Canary. Resist! climate crisis, Fossil Fuels, Higher Education, Sponsorship, United Kingdom (UK)

Activists disrupted the opening of the Exeter Climate Forum conference on 29 June 2026 in protest of the event being sponsored by Howden – an insurance company whose clients include fossil fuel companies. It’s a warm Monday morning, which feels like a relief after the past week of baking heat. It’s also the first day of a three-day climate conference at the University of Exeter. As the meeting gets underway, I hear faint drumming from outside. Then, a group holding banners reading “Stop Insuring Climate Chaos” and “Howden Insurance: Climate Criminals” take centre stage.
