'Down your throat': Biden pushes CCS on polluted places The administration is counting carbon capture as part of its promised funding for disadvantaged communities. But they don't want it.

Incredibly sinister and grim that the fossil fuel industry's greenwashing systems are being included in environmental justice programs in the US

Not just screwing over communities, but also pretending like the screwing over helps them out.

Forests managed by Indigenous nations face a $100 million funding gap “They are a lifeline line for the tribes living on these lands.”

Why returning control over lands to Indigenous peoples needs to including returning some of the wealth colonial governments have gained exploiting the resources on them:

No advice, but I’ve definitely been there: you’re not alone and you’re not a failure!

A map showing that tropical countries will be most affected by extreme heat as climate changes

Globally, it’s estimated around 2 million people will be exposed to “unlivable“ extreme heat by the end of the century if only current climate policies are enacted. Guess where they live.

I taught environmental social science at UWyo some years ago: students were great but colleagues and administration alike put a LOT of obstacles in the way. I'm interested to hear more about how it's going for you!

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat.

99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.
