Minneapolis Brings The Fight For Roof Depot To Mayor Frey’s Neighborhood

October 8, 2025 Fight Back! News. Resist! climate crisis, Environment, Gentrification, Minneapolis

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.

President Of Colombia Calls For International Army To Stop Genocide

September 26, 2025 Alba Cuidad, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! climate crisis, Colombia, Genocide, Gustavo Petro, Palestine, United Nations (UN), US Blockade, US Imperialism, Venezuela

On Tuesday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro condemned the United States’ extraterritorial policy of war and its active military presence in the Caribbean Sea during his participation in the 80th United Nations General Assembly, held in New York, at the headquarters of the UN. He also called for the formation of an international armed force to stop the Gaza genocide that is being committed by the Zionist entity. At the beginning of his speech on Wednesday, September 24, the Colombian president emphasized that US actions in the Caribbean today are making barbarism a global reality. He added that the US is trying to impose on Latin America what has been happening in Gaza for years, amounting to genocide.

Make Trains Great Again For The Sake Of People And The Planet

What if there were a technology that could help to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, air pollution and environmental degradation, while improving health, reducing social inequality and boosting economic growth? There is, and this month it turns 200. The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in northeast England on 27 September 1825 is generally considered to be the birth of the modern railway — an event that set in motion a revolution in human mobility and social organization. Initially, the railways enjoyed breakneck expansion, but since the mid-twentieth century, railway development in most countries has hit the buffers, and been overtaken by growth in road and air travel.

Africa Climate Summit Reflections Part 2: The Youth Are Getting Restless…

September 17, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Africa, Africa Climate Summit (ACS2), climate crisis, nonprofit industrial complex, Youth Activism

Last week, my piece on the second Africa Climate Summit (ACS2) focused on the specter of a new phase of African neocolonialism, technocrats and cryptocolonizers who used the summit to promote a series of false climate solutions including, but not limited to, rendering the continent into a sink for carbon markets as a well as artificial intelligence technology. Africa, irrefutably, is the continent in possession of the most valuable natural resources in the world from its minerals, forests and biodiversity, to its people, which is why they all continue to be pillaged to fuel the engine of global racial capitalism. That said, Africa’s most precious and valuable resource is its abundance of young people.

Mega-Dryness Spreads Throughout Northern Hemisphere

September 14, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! climate crisis, Global North, Megadrought, Water

Human-generated climate change, the result of enormous quantities of CO2 spewing into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels (in 2024, the CO2 annual rate set a new all-time record of 3.75 ppm or an 18,600% increase over natural variability of 0.02 ppm per annum, according to paleoclimate pre-industrial data) causing widespread interconnectivity merging of dry regions of the planet. This is a new feature of global warming. “Our entire infrastructure and civilization are based around a climate that no longer exists.” (John Marsham, professor Atmospheric Science, University of Leeds) Dry areas of the planet are merging into massive mega-dry behemoth regions reflective of how far advanced climate change has progressed, with global warming turning hotter, and hotter, especially 2023-24 when global mean temperature increased by 0.3°C or 10-fold in one year, ushering in a full year of 1.5°C above pre-industrial.

Fundamental Change In The Climate: ‘The World Is Coming Apart Before Our Eyes’

September 9, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Extreme weather, Global heating, Oceans, Sea level rise

The situation with respect to the climate crisis is developing rapidly. Each new study seems to bring worse news. In addition, the media is rife with climate denial and misinformation. To help us understand what is happening on this planet, Clearing the FOG speaks with environmental journalist Robert Hunziker. Hunziker follows climate studies published in scientific journals and translates them into a language the average person can understand. He reports that top scientists are saying there has been a fundamental shift in the climate. Rainforests and tundras are now spewing carbon instead of sequestering it, and the oceans have reached their capacity for storing the planet's heat. Cascading weather events are making areas of the world uninhabitable.

Resisting Disaster Capitalism Through Mutual Aid In Puerto Rico

September 9, 2025 Ester Dazzo, Transnational Institute. Create! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Mutual Aid, Puerto Rico

Since 2016, Puerto Rico has faced a complex crisis, when it declared bankruptcy, worsening a fiscal crisis after a decade of recession. In response, Obama signed the PROMESA law, aiming to restructure the debt and enforce fiscal responsibility. It created the Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB), a body comprised of seven members appointed by the US President, which can override local laws, blatantly highlighting Puerto Rico's colonial status. In 2017, the Board imposed a ten-year plan of austerity, cutting budgets for healthcare, education, and other vital services. The inability of the government to deal with the economic crisis led to an increase in political distrust.

Left Movements In South Asia Call For Increased Mobilizations

September 6, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. Resist! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Floods, India, Pakistan, Punjab

Hundreds of people have lost their lives and millions their livelihoods and homes due to persistent flooding in India and Pakistan. The unprecedented rains in the last month have caused the rivers in the northern parts of both countries to flood most of the province of Punjab on either side of the border. Several other areas in both countries have been badly affected by the floods, such as Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) in Pakistan and Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Haryana in India. Both countries have deployed their armed forces to evacuate thousands of people trapped in areas submerged in water and to run other forms of relief work, due to ineffective disaster management bodies.
