Trump's Attack on the Postal Service Is a Threat to Democracy and Rural America It's by now pretty obvious that the Trump Administration is attempting to sabotage mail delivery in order to cast some kind of shadow over the November election.

We Must Keep Brewing Gale-Force Winds to Shift The Political Landscape Don't expect President Obama (or President Clinton) to be out in the lead, and don't expect Congress to do a damn thing. The job of movements is to keep brewing up the gale-force winds that shifted our political landscape last week -- and to hope we can do it before hurricane-force winds, drought, flood and sea level rise shift our landscape.

Hurricane Sandy has drowned the New York I love New York is the city I love best, and I'm trying to imagine it from a distance tonight. The lurid, flash-lit instagram images of floating cars in Alphabet City or water pouring out of the East River into Dumbo, the reports of bridges to the Howard Beach submerging and facades falling off apartment houses -- it all stings. It's as horrible in its very different way as watching 9/11.

Big Oil's Reign Is Finally Weakening Exxon's scientists discovered -- before it was publicly an issue -- that climate change was real and dangerous, and when Exxon's executives decided to join with others in the industry to cover up that truth.

Three Strategies to Get to a Fossil-Free America The fossil-fuel industry doesn't hold all the high cards. We'll start playing our own aces for a Fossil-Free United States on January 31, when Bernie Sanders and an all-star lineup brought together by 350.org that includes everyone from indigenous activist Dallas Goldtooth to NAACP organizer Jacqui Patterson to star youth climate organizer Varshini Prakash lay out a coordinated plan for the year ahead.

This Climate Strike Is Part of the Disruption We Need We live on a planet that finds itself rather suddenly in the midst of an enormous physical crisis. Because we burn so much coal and gas and oil, the atmosphere of our world is changing rapidly, and that atmospheric change is producing record heat. July was the hottest month we've ever recorded.

The oceans are heating up. That's a big problem on a blue planet We have, thanks to them, a vibrant and rising movement to defend the Earth. In North Dakota today, Native Americans are laying their bodies on the line to block a new oil pipeline across the Missouri river. They are calling themselves Water Protectors. We would do well, all of us, to take up the same avocation. Because we live on an ocean planet.

Obama and the corruption of big oil Obama had mojo when he knew it wasn't about him, that it was about change. But when you promise change, you have to deliver. His last best opportunity may come with that Keystone Pipeline decision, which he can make entirely by himself, without our inane Congress being able to get in the way.

At last, divestment is hitting the fossil fuel industry where it hurts Divestment by itself is not going to win the climate fight. But by weakening -- reputationally and financially -- those players that are determined to stick to business as usual, it's one crucial part of a broader strategy. The Carbon Tracker initiative in London published the first report laying out the fact that the fossil fuel industry has five times more carbon in its reserves than any climate scientist thinks is safe.

"Working Together Is What Humans Are Built to Do": Social Trust Is Key to Stemming the Coronavirus Crisis The coronavirus pandemic is now so sprawling that it has revealed the souls of tens of thousands of individuals, from remarkably kind nurses to online sellers seeking to corner the market for hand sanitizers (until finally deciding to donate them).

Irish parliament makes history with vote to divest country fully from fossil fuels The year began with New York City divesting -- but it's continued with huge wins at universities and in cities around the globe. And better yet, Shell officially noted in its annual report last month that divestment has come to pose a material risk to their business. We're fighting for the zeitgeist -- for the vision of the future. And today anyway, we're winning.

What Facebook and the Oil Industry Have in Common Why the oil companies don't just become solar companies? They don't for the same reason that Facebook doesn't behave decently: an oil company's core business is digging stuff up and burning it, just as Facebook's is to keep people glued to their screens.

Scott Pruitt, Donald Trump's choice to lead the EPA, is a literal stenographer for the oil and gas industry It goes without saying that Pruitt is a climate denier. Ivanka Trump may be holding court with Al Gore in the front parlor of Trump Tower, but in the back rooms the real power is being handed over to the oil industry. And it goes without saying that he'll continue to be a mouthpiece and a puppet at EPA, even though the entire point of the agency is to try and rein in pollution.

Why Should You Climate Strike This Friday, September 20? A year ago, inspired by Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg, young people around the world began climate striking. In May, when 1.4 million kids around the world walked out of school, they asked for adults to join them next time. That next time is September 20 (in a few countries September 27), and it is shaping up to be the biggest day of climate action in the planet's history.

What Will It Take to Cool the Planet? topping new infrastructure is possible -- it's basically a battle with the fossil-fuel industry, which, as I've been pointing out, is losing financial muscle with each passing week.

The Coronavirus and the Climate Movement The result of heating the Earth will be an ongoing, accelerating series of disasters, eventually overwhelming our ability to cope. The pace of those events has been increasing in recent years, and our ability to keep them at something like a manageable level depends on the speed with which we transition off of gas, oil, and coal.
