2017: The highlights were pretty bright

Yes, 2017 was an awful year in many ways. But it was also a year of transition for climate action. We and many others affirmed our ability to make progress at the speed and scale our climate crisis demands.

Don't talk climate turkey with your denier dad!

This holiday, try to talk climate with your concerned cousin in the kitchen.

Repeal (?), Resilience, and Resistance

Last week's attack on the Clean Power Plan comes during a season of extreme weather disasters and increasing alarm about our warming climate. But there's good news about EVs, business engagement, and polling on climate. 

The King is dead

The Northwest coal export battle was a fateful crossroads, and the tyranny of fossil fuels is waning. In its place, we're launching a new clean energy era. 

When your house is on fire

Of course, none of us think of ourselves as climate deniers. But something makes us flinch from bad news, hard conversations, and uncomfortable conclusions. 

Big wind, big oil, and big work ahead

The fast expansion of solar and wind energy is strengthening power grids; resistance continues to climate intransigence; sour outlook for fossil fuel finance but bright horizons for renewables and clean fuels; and more of the latest news in climate and clean energy. 

What did you do, once you knew?

What makes people take an afternoon or a day off work just to say NO to what would be the largest oil-by-rail terminal in North America? What would make them drive hours through the night to attend a public hearing? For one thing, love for their great-great grandchildren.

Thanks a quarter million +.

Here's why events like the People's Climate March make it easier to believe the evidence that the fossil fuel empire is entering terminal decline.

Let's build more momentum for talking climate

Extreme weather, wildfires, an uncertain future...how can we avoid talking about climate change? A better question may be: how DO we talk with out families and friends about climate change—in a way that acknowledges our anxiety, yet motivates us to work towards solutions?
