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.

A Vision Of A Post-Capitalist Eco-Localism That Works

October 4, 2025 David Bollier. Educate! Capitalism, climate crisis, The Commons, Transformation

What might the world look like if climate change is not stopped? What if societies refuse to, or cannot rein in capitalism and its relentless growth and exploitation of nature? Chris Smaje, a writer and farmer in southwest England, offers some intelligent speculation in his recently published book, Finding Lights in a Dark Age: Sharing Land, Work and Craft. Smaje is not a doomer or survivalist, nor given to lurid prophesy. His book is a serious analysis of current macro-political and social trends and how they might play out in everyday life. He extrapolates from existing trends -- the rising costs of fossil fuels, food, and transport, the proliferation of droughts, floods, and wildfires, etc. – to sketch a vision of a post-capitalist, climate-disrupted world that is already arriving.

Paris Climate Agreement Is The Global Climate ‘Movement’s’ Two State Solution

October 3, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Big Greens, climate crisis, False Solutions, Paris Agreement

The so-called Two State Solution is dead… It was poisoned by the architects of zionism before the zionist ethnostate was even established in 1948 through their own words as people like Theodore Herzl in his manifesto, The Jewish State, and Vladimir Jabotinsky in his proclamation, The Iron Wall proudly indicated that zionism is a colonial construct with the ultimate goal of permanently displacing the Palestinian population and replacing it with a European-Jewish population. The idea of a two state solution was suffocated after the Oslo accords by indicted War Criminal, Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party before the ink even dried on that agreement and they even labeled then Israeli Prime Minister, Yitxzhak Rabin as a “traitor and Nazi” for signing the agreement - rhetoric that many, including Rabin’s wife, believe inspired his assassination.

China Is Greening The Global South

September 29, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! China, climate crisis, Energy, Global South, net zero, Renewable Energy

According to an extensive study by Bloomberg NEF, it requires a staggering $7 trillion a year in renewable investments to achieve net zero by 2050, totaling $175 trillion by 2050. Hmm. Accordingly, in 2024 the world invested a record amount, or roughly $2 trillion, which was $5 trillion short of what is necessary per annum for net zero/2050. That $5 trillion shortfall increases the bogey next year and the years after for every year below $7 trillion, until it’ll take $8 trillion in one year, then $9T, then more. For comparison purposes: The Marshall Plan, or European Recovery Program, cost approximately $13.3 billion between 1948 and 1952. Adjusted for inflation, it would be roughly $130 billion in today’s dollars, looking very peaked next to Net Zero.

China Announces Up To 10% Reduction In Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 2035

China declared it will voluntarily reduce its economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from its peak level by 2035, in its attempts to fulfill the requirements of the Paris Agreement. It asked other countries to also “step up actions to realize the beautiful vision of harmony between man and nature and preserve planet earth.” The announcement was made by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his virtual address to the United Nations Climate Summit, which was held alongside the ongoing UNGA summit in New York on Wednesday, September 24. The summit was hosted by UN Secretary General António Guterres along with Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Brazil is the host of the next COP30 conference in November.

No, The US Doesn’t Need Fossil Fuels To Win ‘An AI Arms Race’

September 28, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. Educate! Artificial Intelligence, China, climate crisis, Fossil Fuels, Renewable Energy

As the U.S. braces for a surge in artificial intelligence (AI)–related electricity demand, the natural gas industry has a message for the public: Fossil fuels must power the future’s data centers, the computer-filled warehouses where AI models like ChatGPT primarily train and deploy. A range of oil and gas industry groups and industry-friendly nonprofits are making the case that AI’s growing hunger for power requires a robust fossil-energy scale-up, DeSmog has found. This massive deployment of dirty power is a national security necessity, they say. And Trump administration officials have embraced this message. But experts on renewable energy economics and deployment say this narrative is misleading. They posit that a new era of gas-powered data centers is neither necessary nor inevitable.
