July 26, 2025 The Canary. Resist! climate crisis, Donald Trump, Scotland, Wars and Militarism

Campaign groups planning a ‘festival of resistance’ to coincide with Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Scotland have announced demonstrations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday 26 July. With Trump expected to arrive in Scotland between July 25-29, trade unions, disability rights activists, climate justice campaigners, Palestinian and Ukrainian solidarity groups, and American diaspora organisations are among those now organising multiple days of events to give him a fitting welcome. The coalition has called on first minister John Swinney not to meet with the US president, whose authoritarian administration has links to the far-right across the UK and Europe.

Will Brazil Host A Conference That Saves The World’s Climate?

Thirty years have passed since the first Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held in Berlin (Germany). Since then, successive agreements, targets, and definitions have been ineffective in addressing the two main issues that have lingered at the COP since 1995: first, the responsibility of the rich countries for the climate catastrophe, and second, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the COP30 in Belém do Pará (Brazil), the world will once more have to see if these questions are addressed or ignored.

If We Respond To The Genocide In Palestine The Same Way We’re Responding To The Climate Crisis…

In 2018, Seattle-based journalist - Charles Mudede - wrote a piece entitled, “The Fact is Nothing is Going to be Done About Climate Change Until it Kills A Lot of White People .” Therein he remarks, “What is between climate change and meaningful human action is simply white American lives. As long as they are not directly threatened, we can continue business as usual.” This may very well have been true seven years ago, but since then we have witnessed the deaths of plenty of white folk from Europe to the United States due to climate-exacerbated events including, but not limited to, wildfires, hurricanes, and extreme flooding.

Climate Lawsuit Against Oil Giant Eni Can Move Forward

This week, Italy’s highest court ruled that a climate lawsuit brought by Greenpeace Italy and advocacy group ReCommon against Eni can move forward. In the decision, released on Monday, the court rejected Italian oil and gas company Eni’s motions to dismiss the lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds, and ordered that the case be heard on its merits by the Court of Rome. “This decision means that the lawsuit is legitimate, that the plaintiffs have the right to bring it, and that the Italian judge has a duty to rule on it,” Alessandro Gariglio, lawyer for Greenpeace Italy, said in an interview with DeSmog.

New Youth-Led Lawsuit Is Challenging Trump’s Fossil Fuel Orders

This summer, kids are taking the climate crisis to the courts. The 22 plaintiffs of Lighthiser v. Trump, a lawsuit filed in May, range from 7 to 25 years old. They are challenging three of President Donald Trump’s most controversial executive orders to “unleash” fossil fuels and revoke renewable energy initiatives. The orders roll back critical investments in sustainable technologies and climate science, declare a “National Energy Emergency” to increase fossil fuel use, and prop up the coal, oil and gas industries through deregulation.

While JP Morgan Promises ‘Net Zero,’ Billions Flow To Big Oil

Assume you are an existing JP Morgan (JPM) customer, or you are interested in the bank’s sustainable-investment strategy. Googling the words “sustainable” and “JP Morgan” will bring up a number of blog posts from the JPM website, along with others on specialised media outlets that relay the company’s press releases. One article published on the company’s website in October 2020 is titled “JPMorgan Chase Adopts Paris-Aligned Financing Commitment.” The investment firm declared that it would align not only its investments but also its operational footprint with the Paris Climate Agreement.

Coping With Climate Crises On The Job

July 17, 2025 Alexandra Bradbury, Labor Notes. Organize! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Heat, Smoke, Worker Rights, Workplace Safety

Heat, smoke, flooding, hurricanes, fires, turbulence—on the job, workers are already facing the ravages of a changing climate. These problems are ripe for organizing—usually everyone is feeling it. Often it’s very clear what solution would help, and who could deliver it. Such fights don’t address the underlying causes of climate change. But they’re opportunities to build union power by strengthening the bonds among co-workers and getting folks into action together. And they can open the door to talking about how confronting climate change at its root is a union issue, too.

Acquainting Ourselves With Collapse

I graduated from Cairo University in 2008 — the year the global economy collapsed. Ironically, at the time, Egypt was boasting exceptionally high GDP growth rates led by a very progressive and technocratic government. It wasn’t long before that too collapsed and people took to the streets to protest income inequality and police brutality, among other things. There was a lot of momentum and, at one point, the police left the streets and civilians took shifts in the guerrilla checkpoints they created.

Atlanta Embraces A Cheap, Effective Way To Beat Urban Heat

Walk outside into 100-degree heat wearing a black shirt, and you’ll feel a whole lot hotter than if you were wearing white. Now think about your roof: If it’s also dark, it’s soaking up more of the sun’s energy and radiating that heat indoors. If it were a lighter color, it’d be like your home was wearing a giant white shirt all the time. This is the idea behind the “cool roof.” Last month, Atlanta joined a growing number of American cities requiring that new roofs be more reflective. That significantly reduces temperatures not just in a building, but in the surrounding urban environment.

Amid Deadly Floods, Lawmakers Left Gap In Warning System

July 13, 2025 Freddy Brewster and Lucy Dean Stockton, The Lever. Educate! climate crisis, Congress, Floods, Public safety

Despite the rising threat of climate disasters like last week’s deadly flash flood in Texas, the vast majority of America’s waterways are still not being monitored by water level gauges that help identify impending disasters. Lawmakers have long declined to fully fund the federal government’s program supporting a nationwide flood warning system, according to government documents reviewed by The Lever. While demanding billions of dollars of new tax cuts in the months before the Texas disaster, President Donald Trump’s administration proposed to nearly halve the budget of the federal agency overseeing a federal flood warning network — and proposed a 22 percent cut to the specific budget line funding that system.

Future Sustainable Neighbourhood

Billionaires are building bunkers. What do they know that the “average” person doesn’t? Well, those who pay attention know that multiple Nature tipping points are being either breached, or reached! (The Metacrisis.) Add to that regional conflicts that could go worldwide, and us “average” people may also feel concerned about the near and far-off future. So, I wrote this book, Future Sustainable Neighborhood, for those who can’t afford to buy islands and build bunkers (me included). Anyway, what’s the use of being a billionaire if there’s no food to buy in the market? When one writes, immediate distillation occurs as we zoom in on what needs to be said.

America Builds To Resist Disasters; The Global South Builds To Recover

July 6, 2025 Mohamed Ismail, Next City. Strategize! climate crisis, Environment, Extreme weather, Global South, green housing

In the last few weeks, as the United States suffered through a record-breaking heatwave, people were instructed to take refuge in buildings with indoor air conditioning. This reliance on a system that runs on fossil fuels and contributes to nearly 20% of our greenhouse gas emissions also inevitably set us up for another, more severe heatwave. Even as the U.S. faces increasingly frequent – and deadly – climate change-related disasters, we continue to be caught off guard, treating them as short-term inconveniences and not the new normal. Science has proved that we are actively contributing to future climate devastation, and yet we continue to design buildings with an assumption that climate resilience means waiting out disasters, wasting significant energy fighting the symptoms while contributing to the illness.

UN Expert Urges Criminalization Of Fossil Fuel Disinformation

United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights Elisa Morgera on Monday presented a new report to the General Assembly calling for the criminalization of spreading disinformation regarding the climate crisis, as well as a complete ban on fossil fuel lobbying and advertising by the industry. In The imperative of defossilizing our economies report, Morgera argues that the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and other rich fossil fuel countries are legally bound by international law to phase out gas, oil and coal by the end of the decade, in addition to compensating communities for the harms caused.

Climate Activists Protest At Headquarters Of Global Ad Giant WPP

Climate campaigners turned out on Wednesday in London to occupy the lobby of UK-based communications giant WPP, demanding that the company stop working for the fossil fuel industry. As demonstrators inside staged a “die-in” — wrapping themselves in shrouds emblazoned with logos of Shell, BP, and other WPP clients — a grim reaper figure in front of the building climbed atop a mock-up of an oil rig and set off a plume of black–coloured smoke. Protesters also unfurled a 15-metre banner in front of the building which declared “WPP are climate criminals, ban fossil fuel advertising”.

Bee Hotels Can Help Native Pollinators Recover In The Wake Of Wildfires

June 30, 2025 Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch. Create! Bees, climate crisis, Pollinators, Wildfires

Wild pollinator populations are declining all over the world, with increasingly severe climate change-fueled wildfires threatening their survival. These intense wildfires are also putting long-term ecosystem health and biodiversity at risk. Bee hotels are artificial nesting structures that have been specially designed to house cavity-nesting species. Often placed in backyards or gardens, they provide safe havens and nurseries for essential pollinators. New research led by conservationist Dr. Kit Prendergast, a native bee scientist with University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ), has found that bee hotels can play an essential role in helping native bee populations recover from wildfires.
