The priorities of Trump's cabinet are clear: enrich the billionaires, allow polluters to use our skies as open sewers - and ignore climate science. BUT the #CleanEnergy transition has momentum. And we'll keep organizing to fight for people and planet. grist.org/politics/tru...

Read the Council's latest newsletter for new polling, actions, events & what’s next for the Council as we fight Trump. The agencies that protect our air, water and land are being gutted. But we can not and will not give up. We will fight back together! www.dncclimate.org/latest-newsl...

Public Lands should be for the people, not oil and gas lobbyists.

Reckless and dangerous: Slashing @noaa.gov's budget and staff "will lead to less accurate and slower weather forecasts and warnings - putting lives and property at risk." These cuts threaten our nation's security, economy and wellbeing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NOAA is one of the US's strongest forces in the fight against #ClimateChange. As part of his attack on #EnvironmentalJustice, Trump granted Musk's DOGE access to NOAA's unclassified systems. The essential research and resources NOAA provides are at risk. www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Trump is defying court orders with his funding freeze, hurting clean energy and costing our economy along the way, with no regard for anyone but himself and his rich friends. www.cnn.com/2025/02/13/p...

📢 TAKE ACTION: Tell the EPA it must consider not just one but ALL the #Pollution harms on a community before adding more! Less asthma. Cleaner air. Win-win. Comment due by 2/19 at 12pm ET ⬇️ www.regulations.gov/commenton/EP...

The Trump Administration ordered the Agriculture Department to unpublish pages focused on #ClimateChange. 1/2 thehill.com/policy/energ...

Celebrating 5 years since the launch of the DNC Climate Council! We are grateful to be in this movement with partners and allies across the country. There is still much work to do. Resistance. Vision. Action. Onward for people and planet.

Elon Musk's DOGE is trying to downsize and defund NOAA, an agency crucial to fighting #ClimateChange. #Project2025 calls NOAA "harmful to US prosperity” for its role in climate science. But what's really harmful is Musk's influence over our government. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The 1% is responsible for as much carbon #Pollution as the poorest 2/3rds of humanity. Billionaires and #BigOil profit while millions pay the price with their lives, homes or livelihoods. The ultra-rich must take responsibility for their role in the #ClimateCrisis. foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/20/c...

#Heatwave hot spots on almost every continent are far outpacing global temperature trends. These events have killed tens of thousands of people in recent years and primed the #Environment for devastating #Wildfires and harmed crops. www.axios.com/2024/12/02/c...

Honoring #BlackHistoryMonth. This year's theme is African Americans and Labor. (1/2)

Although a large majority of Floridians say they want action on #ClimateChange, GOP Governor DeSantis scrubbed the state of the word "climate". But Alachua County is preparing for the reality of a more dangerous future. grist.org/politics/ala...

The #ClimateCrisis means 16% of Americans struggle with psychological distress due to #ClimateChange. According to research from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, this distress can also serve as a motivator for engagement in #ClimateAction. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Communities living near major highways feel the effects of car pollution everyday. The result: asthma, heart attacks, mental health harms. Trump's removal of President Biden's #EV goals threatens public health and our climate.

Happy #LunarNewYear! In the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the year of the snake 🐍

🌎 Get ready for #EarthMonth this April, when we launch our FOURTH annual Earth Month Mobilization! Organize with us for people, Party, our planet! Post your event - we will help publicize, provide graphics if asked, and support your work. https://buff.ly/4juGEQr

STUDY: #Drylands now make up 40% of land on Earth, excluding Antarctica. In the past 30 years, 3/4ths of the world’s land suffered drier conditions which have caused damage that is likely permanent. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ramping up exports of liquefied natural gas isn't just bad for the climate - it also raises energy prices for those of us here at home. This move will benefit Trump's oil and gas buddies - at our expense. https://buff.ly/42q6rDp

Trump's #DrillBabyDrill policy will throw fuel on the flames of the climate crisis. Clean energy would create millions of jobs and meet American's energy needs. Instead, Trump will let Big Oil and Gas profit from extraction. https://buff.ly/3PNIJJC

During the campaign, Donald Trump promised oil and gas CEOs favors in exchange for a billion dollars in his campaign coffers. On Day 1, he pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement. #ParisAgreement

The Arctic Ocean could experience its first ice-free day as early as 2027. The Democratic Party must be the Party of #ClimateSolutions and leadership. Because the other party offers zip on this issue. thehill.com/policy/energ...

Over the next 4 years, it will be crucial for #Climate progress to continue at the state level. And states can do far more to accelerate the #CleanEnergy transition than you might think! newrepublic.com/article/1890...

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy in the #Environmental movement is profound. As he said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere... Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” 1/2

Trump and his allies got more than 5X the initially reported $75 million from donors with ties to #FossilFuels. And it's no wonder - his "drill, baby, drill" platform prioritizes Big Oil and Gas profits over the wellbeing of people and planet. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/01/c...

Billionaires emit more carbon #Pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime. The superyachts, private jets and investments of the ultra-rich are actively harming people and planet by fueling the #ClimateCrisis. www.commondreams.org/news/billion...
