If Brazil Has to Guard Its Rainforest, Why Does Canada/U.S. Get to Burn Its Tar Sands? Exploiting the tar sands is a crime, pure and simple -- and, given the stakes, it is one of the most staggering the world has ever seen.

It's Time to Kick Gas Despite the pandemic lockdown, 2020 saw the largest single increase in methane in the atmosphere since we started taking measurements, in the 1980's.

It's Time To Stop Investing In The Fossil Fuel Industry The fossil fuel industry should be turned into an energy industry: we have to take the hundred million dollars a day that Exxon spends on finding new oil, and have them spend it on solar panels instead. Which is why, for now, we have to divest those stocks.

Climate activists are being killed for trying to save our planet. There is a way to help That we have to fight simply to get our leaders to pay attention to science is frustrating, but there's a big difference between fighting and dying: the names of these activists should be on our lips and in our hearts. We owe them debts that can't be repaid -- only paid forward.

To stop global catastrophe, we must believe in humans again The reason we don't have a solution to climate change has less to do with the greed of the great, unengineered unwashed than with the greed of the almost unbelievably small percentage of people at the top of the energy heap. Let's operate on the assumption that human beings are not grossly defective. That we're capable of acting together to do remarkable things.

Do We Actually Need More Gas Stations? The latest front in the fight against fossil fuels -- so far, one confined to a couple of California towns -- concerns what might be the most iconic element of the American commercial landscape: the gas station.

Bill McKibben: Not Me. Us. Younger people and poorer people may sense an urgent need for change. I mean, we've just broken the planet's temperature record two years in a row. If you think that we need a leader who will push to change the way we see the world then it makes perfect sense to imagine Bernie as the realistic candidate, the one who will get things done.

Some rare good climate news: the fossil fuel industry is weaker than ever There's been reason this month for hope -- reason, at least, to think that the basic trajectory of the world away from coal and gas and oil is firmly underway. From Wall Street came welcome word that market perceptions haven't really changed: even in the age of Trump, the fossil fuel industry has gone from the world's surest bet to an increasingly challenged enterprise.

The U.N. Climate Panel Tries to Cut Through the Smog Inbox+++ We all live in two worlds: a physical one and a social one. The new report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is ostensibly about the physical world. It states, clearly and forcefully that humans are wrecking that physical world. Setting it on fire.

Anti-pipeline activists are fighting to stop Line 3. Will they succeed? In a rational world, anti-pipeline activism wouldn't be necessary. Any leader would take a look at a proposal to build a pipeline to carry dirty oil for the next half century and say, "On what planet? Not this one, because it's overheating."

Bill McKibben's Letter to the Future This letter to the future by Bill McKibben is part of the Letters to the Future campaign, a national effort to encourage people from all walks of life to write six generations into the future about climate change. The campaign puts a spotlight on the importance of world leaders agreeing to a global climate treaty at COP21 in Paris.

What Have We Learned in 30 Years of Covering Climate Change? New estimates show that methane is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The Obama Administration's response to climate change was mostly about replacing coal with natural gas.

It's a fairytale that world governments will fix our climate crisis. It's up to us It looks as if the phasing out of coal and subsidies for fossil fuels will be mentioned in a Cop document for the first time, and that there will be more money for nations of the global south to "adapt" to the climate crisis.

New pipeline to challenge Obama's promises There's real worry that the fix is in, especially since recently released WikiLeaks documents show American officials working with the tar sands companies to develop a strategy to "spin" reporters and win favorable press coverage. Still -- the ultimate decision will rest with President Obama. Hence the sit-ins. And the buttons.

No Keystone XL live strategy session Every new pipeline, frack well and coal port is being fought and fought hard. You've heard of some of these fights, like the Dakota Access pipeline, but there are now hundreds of them across the world. Keystone jump-started a whole new phase of the movement to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

We Need the "Whole-of-Government" Climate Fight That Biden Promised It's frightening, both for what feels like a rapid acceleration in the pace of the planet's heating and for what feels like a slowdown in a few key corners of the Biden Administration's attempts to take its measure.

Our Stuff Weighs More Than All Living Things on the Planet 2020 was the year in which the weight of "human-made mass" -- all the stuff we've built and accumulated -- exceeded the weight of biomass on the planet. The weight of living things remains relatively static, year to year, but the weight of man-made objects is doubling every 20 years.
