With Federal Climate Progress Stalled, Simplify Solar Advances Local Solutions

October 30, 2025 Nick Engelfried, Waging Nonviolence. Create! climate crisis, Energy, Solar, Solar Energy, Third Act

“We have the groundwork in place to make solar power and renewable energy much more accessible than they are now,” celebrated climate activist Bill McKibben told people from all over the country on a Sept. 25 Zoom call. The virtual gathering was organized by Third Act, a national organization of people over 60 confronting the climate crisis. It took place just days after a Third Act-coordinated nationwide day of action called Sun Day, which saw over 500 events in 49 states draw attention to renewable energy’s vast potential. At a time when U.S. climate organizations are largely on the defensive, fighting the Trump administration’s rollbacks to climate action at the federal level, McKibben’s words underscored how Third Act has identified a rare opportunity to make real, short-term progress toward a clean energy future.

Why We Need To Talk About Adaptation

October 28, 2025 Rupert Read, DeSmog. Strategize! Adaptation, climate crisis, COP30, net zero

I’m delighted to be writing today as the co-author of a new report called ‘We need to talk about adaptation’. This report is co-produced by the Climate Majority Project and the Glacier Trust (a leading adaptation-action NGO, mainly active in the global South). What we did together is investigate how much the biggest environmental organisations are talking about (and what they are doing about) climate adaptation now, in 2025. And here is the interesting bit: the same analysis was conducted in 2020. So we were able to compare then with now.

New Documentary Bridges Militarism And The Climate Crisis

October 27, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Environmental Destruction, US military

The US military is the greatest threat to the planet, not just for the violence that it commits but also for its carbon emissions and environmental destruction. Clearing the FOG speaks with Abby Martin about her new documentary, Earth's Greatest Enemy, which exposes the harm caused by the military. Martin and her spouse, Mike Prysner, traveled around the world to cover the damage caused by the military, the failure to hold the US military accountable, and the people resisting US foreign military bases. Martin also discusses the military's greenwashing efforts. This program includes a portion of a previous interview with Mike Prysner recorded at the beginning of this project.

Look Out For These Eight Big Ag Greenwashing Terms At COP30

October 27, 2025 Rachel Sherrington and Hazel Healy, DeSmog. Educate! Brazil, climate crisis, COP30, Food and Agriculture, Regenerative Farming

Food and agriculture will be under the spotlight at the upcoming round of global climate negotiations in northern Brazil. Representatives from nearly every nation will gather from 6-21 November in Belém, a regional capital and gateway to the Amazon, with most countries far off target to deliver deep cuts to carbon emissions — the only way to halt the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. Some food and climate groups hope this thirtieth annual Conference of the Parties (called COP30) summit can be a game changer for reforming food systems, which emit around a third of all a third of all greenhouse gases. After all, Brazil — which holds the presidency of COP30 — has a reputation for skilled diplomacy, and has made agriculture objective number three on the conference agenda.

Overcoming Divisions And Building Power For The Just Green Transition

October 22, 2025 Lina M. Pitz, Resilience. Strategize! climate crisis, Germany, Labor Movement, Working Class

The working class: a major social group in any industrialised country, and historically a left-wing subject at the centre of demands for a worker controlled economy and better welfare, is now a growing base of support for right-wing parties. It is becoming essential for their electoral success across Europe, courted by these parties’ seeming concern for protecting wealth and jobs.[1] Climate activists on the other hand are increasingly demonised as fanatic eco-terrorists in mainstream media whose demands are framed as extremist and harmful to working people, making them seem like an out-of-touch elite of students and academics.

The Methane Hunters Of Melendugno

October 20, 2025 Teresa Di Mauro and Vittorio Torsello, DeSmog. Resist! Activism, climate crisis, Energy, Environment, Methane, Pipelines

For centuries, farmers in Melendugno, a town located at the tip of southern Italy’s boot heel, built stone walls to mark the boundaries of their fields, shield their crops from the winds blowing out of North Africa, and divide farmland from pasture. Today, those same ancient stones stand watch over a changed landscape of parched olive groves, tall metal fences, and barbed wire. Beyond the fences, framed by a few remaining ancient olive trees, sits the Melendugno Reception Terminal — the western endpoint of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).

Emissions From Global Meat And Dairy Companies Rival Fossil Fuels

October 20, 2025 Friends of the Earth. Educate! Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Dairy, Food and Agriculture, greenhouse gases, Meat Industry

The world’s major meat and dairy companies are generating combined greenhouse gas emissions on par with some of the biggest fossil fuel producers, according to new estimates from environmental and food policy experts issued ahead of the COP30 climate talks in Belém, Brazil. More than half of the estimated emissions stem from methane, a powerful but short-lived gas that scientists warn must be sharply reduced in this decade to keep global warming within 1.5°C. The analysis, Roasting the Planet: Big Meat and Dairy’s Big Emissions, was published today by Foodrise, Friends of the Earth U.S., Greenpeace Nordic, and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.

Nuclear Goes Political

October 18, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! climate crisis, Data Centers, Hudson River, New York (NY), Nuclear Energy, Water

Climate change has a new partner in its quest to alter life as we know it: Nuclear, the power buzzword for the AI Holy Grail of human submission to digital electrons mimicking human brainpower. And AI can’t survive, can’t thrive without enormous amounts of electrical energy. Wall Street has the answer and politicians agree that nuclear is the big, beautiful answer to a whole new advanced level of human mental experience with electrons. The nuclear narrative is more positive than ever, “go for it,” but what if something goes wrong or is nuclear suddenly risks-free?

Tacoma Organizations Protest LNG Plant

Tacoma, WA – On October 14, a group of several dozen Tacoma activists gathered in the sunset of Fireman's Park to oppose the expansion of the city’s liquid natural gas (LNG) plant. The event was organized by a broad coalition of Black, brown, indigenous, and other liberation movement groups, led by the of the Coast Salish Water Warriors (WW). Speaker Marilyn Kimmerling with Climate Alliance of the South Sound (CASS) explained that the LNG facility near the Port of Tacoma is both a refinery and storage place. The oil travels from across the country through underground pipelines to the LNG plant at Tacoma’s tide flats.

Climate Change Sets Workers’ Feet On Fire

October 17, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! climate crisis, COP30, Extreme weather, Global heating, Worker Rights, Working Class

This summer, there were days in tropical cities when it was unbearable to walk out in the sunlight. In Mango, Togo, for instance, the temperature soared to 44°C in March and April. Heat maps depict a world on fire, red hot flames licking the planet from the equator outwards. If the air temperature is around 44°C, then the temperature of asphalt and concrete surfaces can exceed 60°C. Since second-degree burns occur in less than five seconds at 60°C, those exposed to that heat are liable to burn their skin. Walking the streets of these burning cities is hard enough with shoes – imagine what it must be like for the millions of people who lack appropriate footwear but must work outdoors during the hottest parts of the day.

Carbon Dioxide Levels Rose Record Amount In 2024

October 17, 2025 Sharon Zhang, Truthout. Educate! Carbon emissions, climate crisis, COP30, Environment, Feedback Loops

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose by the largest amount ever recorded in 2024, the UN has reported, as researchers warn of the dangers of feedback loops that are pushing the climate crisis to new heights and many global powers do nothing to mitigate emissions. According to the latest bulletin by the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the global average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased by 3.5 parts per million between 2023 and 2024. This is the highest single-year increase since modern records began in 1957.

Brazil’s Co-Ops Have Big Asks Ahead Of COP30

October 12, 2025 Anca Voinea, Co-operative News. Create! Brazil, climate crisis, Cooperatives, COP30, Sustainability

With the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) taking place in Belém, Brazil, in November, the country’s co-op movement is trying to boost its presence in climate discussions and reaffirm its commitment to sustainable development. Co-ops are key players in Brazil, accounting for 75% of wheat, 55% of coffee, 53% of corn, 52% of soybeans, 50% of pigs, 46% of milk and 43% of beans produced. The nation’s 4,500 co-ops represent 23 million members. In March, the Brazilian Cooperative Organisation (OCB) published a COP30 Manifesto, after a series of conversations with member organisations and co-op leaders which started at the 15th Brazilian Cooperative Congress in 2024.

Minneapolis, MN – Climate Justice Committee and community members gathered for a family-friendly walk through Mayor Jacob Frey’s Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood on Saturday, October 4. The walk was called to raise awareness for the Roof Depot fight and urge Mayor Frey to give the East Philips neighborhood a fair deal for the site. Participants put up hundreds of posters, handed out flyers, and had conversations with community members. The walk was called by the Climate Justice Committee (CJC), a local activist group focused on fighting urban pollution and environmental racism in the Twin Cities. They have been active in the East Phillips neighborhood’s campaign to turn the old Roof Depot into an urban farm and community center.

As Trump Crushes Climate Efforts, Local Projects Persevere

October 5, 2025 Greg Harman, Portside. Organize! Austerity, climate crisis, Community activism, Fossil Fuels, Trump Administration

Standing before the United Nations last week, U.S. President Donald Trump unleashed long-held animosity for the body dating back decades to when his company was apparently rejected for a renovations gig. Trump swore he would have delivered mahogany walls and marble floors to the tower. And now look at the state of the place, he grumbled. “You walk on terrazzo. Do you notice that?” Something far worse than composite flooring is in store for nations that fail to rally to Trump’s hypernationalism, anti-immigrant fervor, and fawning embrace of fossil fuels. “Your countries are going to hell,” he said, apparently addressing his comments primarily to the “English-speaking world.”

European Union Climate Breakdown

October 5, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! Biodiversity, climate crisis, European Union (EU), Finance and the Economy

In the sharpest possible contrast to the US approach to climate change, in a very grown-up adult fashion, the EU has publicly stated: “EU officials warn climate breakdown and wildlife loss are ruining ecosystems that underpin the economy.” Whew!!! The world is still sane. Like a cool refreshing late afternoon breeze, a great sense of relief has spread across the Continent. With a remarkable pitch-perfect admission, the EU informs its citizens of the truth no matter how much it hurts. The upside to this admission is an understanding by the citizens that something horrible is wrong. Ipso facto, they must pull together to do something about it. Definitively, this pulls everybody into the mix to be aware, be prepared, make sacrifices, if necessary, to make it right.
