Trump order to loosen fishing regulations poses major risks, experts warn Conservationists fear fallout from president’s proclamation on fishing in federally protected area of Pacific Ocean

Trump recently issued an Executive Order to open up fishing in the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument, a pristine tropical marine sanctuary. 💀

“An attack on any of these national monuments would be illegal,” said Drew Caputo, vice president of litigation for lands, wildlife, and oceans at Earthjustice. earthjustice.org/press/2025/r...

Farmers Sue Over Deletion of Climate Data From Government Websites The data, which disappeared from Agriculture Department sites in recent weeks, was useful to farmers for business planning, the lawsuit said.

Breaking: We’re suing the Trump admin for removing climate change focused information from the USDA website. The move cuts off farmers, researchers, and advocates from accessing critical resources and funding.

Trump's energy emergency is a gift to fossil fuel firms. It's likely headed to court President Trump signed a "national energy emergency" that gives his administration new powers to boost fossil fuel development around the country.

"It's striking that the emergency he seems to be declaring, is one of a lack of fossil fuel production," says Sam Sankar with Earthjustice. "The U.S. is currently producing more oil and gas than any nation on the planet ever has in the history of human civilization." www.npr.org/2025/01/22/n...

And my favorite truth teller comes through, again. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/slot...

A perfect article summarizing the Elomp (etc.) playbook: capitalizing on disaster and sowing chaos to advance their debased political agenda. Deep breaths. Thanks for writing ~

California’s Roadmap to Protect Communities and Public Health from Oil and Gas Drilling A public health expert panel report gives Californians a critical new tool in the years-long fight for setbacks from oil and gas drilling.

Over 3 million Californians live within 3,200 feet of an active oil or gas well. Here are 5 ways we can improve oil and gas management to protect public health in 2025.

Love your work Sammy! (but 😉) I worry the framing that cleanup depends on CRC's carbon capture plans succeeding, which gives it an even longer lease on its carbon polluting life to produce more emissions, is a slippery slope to letting it off the hook if CCS proves more uneconomic that advertised.

‘Trump-Proofing’ California and Beyond Will Be a Political Minefield Trump vows to attack climate science; states must now prove an energy transition is possible in a time of soaring costs and deficits.

NEW: California will again be a bulwark for climate science & action.

But the political costs are mounting: Utility bills & gasoline prices are too high. Conservatives are succeeding in tying these to "green mandates."

And Democrats don't really have a solution 🧵 capitalandmain.com/trump-proofi...

As a major California oil producer eyes carbon storage, thousands of idle wells await cleanup. The state’s taxpayers may be left with a big bill.

CA's biggest oil and gas company CRC is responsible for cleaning up 11,000 idle and leaking wells but has only set aside a fraction of the $1 billion needed to do so. CRC would love to dump that burden on California taxpayers. Great reporting Emma Foehringer Merchant @kvprnews.bsky.social
