#OrangeShirtDay calls us to confront the dark legacy of residential schools in Canada and the U.S., to honor the strength of Indigenous survivors and their families, and to remember the Native children who never came home. #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

We are wildly unprepared to think about and manage water as the precious and limited resource it truly is.

Republicans are planning devastating cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.

Families will lose life-saving care. Kids will go hungry. All to give tax breaks to billionaires.

They don’t want you to notice - so they’re doing their dirty work in the cover of night.

“We need this aid to enter now. It has to go to people who are desperate.”

In this video, our colleague Louise Wateridge speaks from a UNRWA warehouse in Amman, Jordan, where supplies have been held up due to the 11-week-long siege.

The government just killed an essential way to assess climate risk Cities, insurers, and the public used the Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database to plan for the future. So now what?

Land squeeze threatens climate-exposed islanders The Walande community is running out of space to grow food and build homes. Sea level rise threatens the viability of low-lying land for growing swamp taro crops and a collapsing seawall could push the indigenous Solomon Islands community further inland.

High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide - Nature Climate Change While climate injustice is widely recognized, a quantification of how emissions inequality translates into unequal accountability is still lacking. Here researchers examine how affluent groups disprop...

Finally, a study just this week finds that two-thirds of all WARMING (not just emissions) is attributable to the wealthiest 10%.

Authors also find that the top 1% richest contributed 26x more to increases in monthly 1-in-100-year heat extremes globally and 17x times more to Amazon droughts.

How Fossil Fuel Money Made Climate Change Denial the Word of God Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

Brief tangent:

I'm often asked why US evangelicals are so opposed to climate action, when it aligns so well with Biblical mandates to take responsibility for all living things and love each other as we've been loved by God.

Well guess what - fossil fuels were involved in that, too.

Just 90 companies are to blame for most climate change, this 'carbon accountant' says Richard Heede has become a thorn in the side of the fossil fuel industry

But what if we counted emissions by company instead?

After all, every ton of coal, oil & gas burned was extracted + sold by companies that profited while avoiding responsibility for the damage.

In 2016, Heede showed that just 90 companies were responsible for 2/3 of carbon emissions since 1850.
