"We're in the middle of an election season, so one thing I always think about is: How do we vote for people who care about this? We need people who get it, who are going to prioritize it. We need to elect people up and down the ballot — on city council, school boards, public utility commissions, all of it.
Climate change needs to be near the top of their list of priorities. As citizens, as voters, we can advocate for politicians to care more about this. We can ask, what is your climate platform? Are you thinking about clean energy as you're thinking about building affordable housing?
Another important thing is how we spend our money. A lot of people don't understand that voting with your dollars is a very real thing. We've seen that in the last few years as people have boycotted various streaming services or other corporations — that really makes a difference."

But as Tyndall shows, the Defense Department is still engaged on one front of the climate fight: steeling its bases against the effects of a warming atmosphere, such as higher seas, fiercer storms and deadlier fires

Appears like a common scheme: announcing net-zero climate targets with great fanfare, and then quietly step away from them.

CLIMATE SUMMARY OF 2025 | Part 1
2025 became a point of no return. Catastrophic events surged, with disasters growing 12–15% vs 2024 and intensifying fast. This isn’t fear — it’s reality. The climate crisis is already here.

"UN climate summit drops mention of fossil fuels from draft deal"
Oh well, I'm sure fossil fuels aren't important in tackling climate change, are they? As long as we all use LED light bulbs and unplug our TVs overnight, that should do the trick, right?

My latest work for @mongabay is a two-part series looking at possible climate futures. In the first part, I explore the current status of the climate emergency, and how world leaders, scientists and the global community are responding.
