This is a selected article from our newsletter. Sign up for the latest! When climate-fueled extreme weather hits a red state in the United States, it’s because nefarious liberals have masterminded an evil plot to harm the MAGA faithful. When the same thing happens in a blue state, the culprit is liberal incompetence. Pick one. Better yet, let’s pull our heads out of our butts and muster the human decency to respond appropriately when fellow citizens suffer.

Changing Weather Patterns and Its Effect on Food Production in Sub-Saharan Africa

|
By Daniel Adeyemi, Thomas Schueneman Verified
| globalwarmingisreal.com
I grew up in a low-income Sub-Saharan African household, and as such, we rely on subsistence farming for food production. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where a significant portion of the continent’s population resides, millions go to bed hungry every night. This isn’t due to a lack of food globally but rather because changing weather patterns driven by climate change severely disrupt agriculture, reduce crop yields, and make food less accessible to those who need it most.

Trump 2.0, Climate Change, and Social Justice: What Happens Post-Election?

By Thomas Schueneman Verified
| globalwarmingisreal.com
The worst results of the 2024 election are upon us. President Trump will serve a second term. The first thing you can do is process your feelings. It’s okay to grieve. Before you can get to activism, you have to mourn the loss of the hopes and dreams of a Kamala Harris presidency. Allow yourself permission to feel horrified. “If you’re not okay today, you’re paying attention,” author and activist Jemar Tisby said during a recent webinar.

COP29 In a Genocidal Dictatorship Soaked in Blood and Fossil Fuels

| globalwarmingisreal.com
The hyper-intelligent powers that be decided to hold COP29 in a genocidal country dependent on fossil fuels. Azerbaijan is a country guilty of both greenwashing and peace-washing. Azerbaijan’s proposed agenda for COP29 leaves out discussing the phase-out of fossil fuels. The country in the Caucasus region recently increased oil and gas production. According to an investigation by Global Witness, it plans to further increase gas production by a third more over the next decade.

Biodiversity in Crisis: WWF Living Planet Report Reveals Alarming Decline in Wildlife Populations

From the earliest days of space travel, seeing the whole Earth left many astronauts wonderstruck by what they saw out their spaceship windows. From the perspective of space, the planet hangs in infinite blackness, beautiful, fragile, and alive. But what the Overview Effect reveals in Earth’s grand magnificence, it obscures in detail. On the ground, the living color of the natural world is increasingly denuded of its vibrance and variety.

Forest Degradation | Retailers Must Protect Forests | GWIR

|
By Gina-Marie Cheeseman Verified, Thomas Schueneman Verified
| globalwarmingisreal.com
Forests are vital. Around 1.6 billion people worldwide depend on healthy forests to make a living. Forests contain 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Forests also store carbon, keeping it from entering the atmosphere. However, forest degradation and deforestation is a global problem. Over the last 20 years, about 250 million acres of forest area have disappeared, equivalent to Texas and New Mexico combined. Forest degradation is likely far bigger.

What would a second term for Donald Trump mean for the environment? The cornerstone of it would be a drill, baby, drill policy. Or, as the Republican National Convention Platform 2024 proclaims, “Make America the dominant energy producer in the world, by far.” That shouldn’t come as a surprise. According to Open Secrets, Trump received $951,902 in campaign contributions from oil and gas companies in the 2024 election.

Renewable Energy Investments Surpass Fossil Fuels

| globalwarmingisreal.com
At COP 28 last year, the term “fossil fuels” appeared for the first time in a COP’s formal outcome since UN climate negotiations began 30 years ago. The Global Stocktake outcome in Dubai, dubbed The UAE Consensus, called for the world to “transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050.” For decades, fossil fuels have dominated energy investments around the world.

John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts shared a passionate curiosity about the natural world, the interconnectedness of life, and humanity’s place within it. The celebrated writer and iconic marine biologist/philosopher forged a deep friendship that lasted nearly 20 years before Ricketts’ untimely death in 1948. Their journey to the Sea of Cortez in 1940 aboard the Western Flyer epitomizes the bonds of man and nature, the connectedness of all things, and the power of curiosity to change the world.

The current Supreme Court, packed with Trump appointees, has little regard for precedent. We first saw this in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center, overturning the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade. In June, SCOTUS once again overturned legal precedent. The majority conservative SCOTUS overruled the 40-year case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., a 40-year-old case.

The Elephant in the Room: Donald Trump and Prospects for Climate Action

As I write this, it’s difficult not to look at the elephant in the room. That is, of course, Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts and what that means for the country’s—and the world’s—lurch toward November elections. While the MAGA-verse and their Republican supplicants line up behind Trump, the specter of a convicted felon occupying the White House is now a genuine possibility. Does meaningful climate, energy, and environmental policy stand a chance with another Trump presidency?

Is air pollution in the U.S. lessening? The findings of the American Lung Association’s 25th annual State of the Air report indicate air pollution continues to worsen in some areas of the country. Nearly 40 percent of Americans (131.2 million people) live in areas with unhealthy air basins, an increase of 11.7 million people compared to last year. Climate change plays a significant role in the increase in air pollution.

Don’t Say Climate Change: Governor Ron DeSantis’ Anti-Woke Mind Virus

Earlier this month, Florida Governor Ron Desantis signed three bills into law, collectively christened the “Don’t say climate change” laws. The laws aim to scrub climate change from discussion at the state level. Among the statutes are a ban on offshore wind development (of which there is little interest anyway), repeal of a 16-year provision to consider climate change in state energy policy, and restrictions on climate considerations in state projects and policy.

An End of Coal? With a Catch

In April, the Group of Seven (G7) nations—the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—announced their intention to end coal use within their energy systems by 2035. An end of coal? Well, not a complete “end of coal,” but we’re ostensibly heading in the right direction—though it may be too little, too late. Anything is better than nothing, but we shouldn’t consider it a solution.

Oil and gas companies tout liquified natural gas, known simply as LNG, as a greener fossil fuel. It heats homes and runs power plants. But is it greener? Derived from cooling natural gas, the fossil fuel industry views LNG as a bridge fuel. A joint report titled Methane Madness by Friends of the Earth, Public Citizen, and BailoutWatch looks at eight proposed LNG projects the Biden administration has yet to approve. The projects would expand LNG export capacity into the Asia Pacific region.

Vinyl chloride is on the Environmental Protection Agency’s radar. In December, the EPA started processing five toxic chemicals for risk evaluation. One of those chemicals is vinyl chloride. The agency will evaluate vinyl chloride for one year. If it designates the chemical as a high-priority substance, it will start a formal risk evaluation. The first step is to prioritize vinyl chloride by evaluating whether health and environmental protections are needed.
