Stripping U.S. Forest Service and National Park Service after catastrophic wildfires ravaged L.A. is concerning, as these agencies play a key role in wildfire prevention. Once again, the Trump administration is making a dangerous move that threatens public safety. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

TONIGHT: Senate Republicans will try to pull an all-nighter defending a budget plan that will allow President Trump to enact his Project 2025 agenda. Their plan will speed up climate change impacts and give handouts to Big Oil billionaires.

President Trump’s executive order to bring back plastic straws has darker implications. 🧵👇

We filed our first lawsuit of the year against the Trump administration for revoking protections that cover more than 625 million acres of the ocean. When Trump tried to hand over our oceans to Big Oil in 2017, we sued—and won. We’re headed to court to fight back again.

No one should be allowed to hoard this much wealth for fueling a crisis that’s devastating our planet and taking actual lives. Why should our communities suffer while Big Oil gets richer?

Many of Trump’s plans will face legal and public challenges, and we’re confident in our ability to help slow down some and block others. To everyone supporting our tireless fight, we’re grateful to be standing with you on the right side of history.

Climate change-driven rising temperatures and reduced rainfall are disrupting cocoa production in West Africa. These disruptions have caused raw cocoa prices to skyrocket by 200% over the past year, threatening the cost of Valentine's Day chocolate. www.nbcnews.com/business/con...

Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers and learners out there! 🧵

No place is immune to the impacts of climate change. As extreme weather events become supercharged by the climate crisis, insurance companies need to hold up their end of the bargain—and protect millions of families from harm.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk say they’re prioritizing “efficiency,” but what they’re really vying for is power. Congress needs to stand up to them and protect our democracy.

The scale of climate catastrophe is nearly unimaginable—until you witness it firsthand. Our hearts go out to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. As communities recover from this tragedy, the fossil fuel industry continues to rake in money and avoid responsibility.

Three weeks in, President Trump has launched the worst assault in U.S. history on the environment and public health. Nobody voted for chaos. Like many people making their voices heard across the country, we are ready to fight back. abcnews.go.com/US/anti-trum...

These are the birds everyone’s talking about, right?

President Trump has talked a big game about delivering clean air and clean water. But his EPA's move to shut down the environmental justice office means they’re turning their back on those who need a cleaner environment more than anyone.

Now that Meta is ending its fact-checking program, how can we spot climate misinformation? First, it’s important to know that it’s shape-shifting.

Nature can teach us a lot about ourselves. Take a moment to revel in the peace that nature brings. And with every lesson it teaches, let it be a reminder of what we’re fighting to protect.

President Trump revoked a number of environmental justice initiatives that aimed to benefit historically disinvested communities that are hit the hardest by climate impacts. We stand in solidarity with our partners and communities to fight back.

Our government is supposed to work for us—not against us. President Trump’s immediate freeze on grants, loans, and other financial assistance abandons the millions of Americans that rely on federal funding. He has no authority to cancel it.

President Trump released an executive order that attempts to reinstate permits to help bring Keystone XL back to life. It would transport 830,000 barrels of the planet’s dirtiest fuel through the U.S. every day. We can’t let Trump and his Big Oil allies have their way.

By opening up our oceans to more offshore drilling, the Trump administration is threatening the health of our marine life and coastal communities that depend on them. We won’t stop fighting to defend our oceans from greedy Big Oil billionaires.

Alaska’s Arctic Refuge is no place for drilling, so we’re in court to defend this remarkable treasure. We’ll be fighting tooth and nail to keep the Trump administration and their Big Oil allies out of our earth’s most pristine places.

President Trump declared a “national energy emergency,” launching a repeal of successful climate and energy policies. Nobody wants dirtier air, increased health risks, or deadlier crises. This “national emergency” is just going to further enrich oil and gas billionaires at people’s expense.

Nearly every other country on earth is part of the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump may turn his back on the world, but states and local governments can still advance climate progress.

In Trump’s first term, we sued his administration 163 times—winning lawsuits that shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, halted drilling in the Arctic, and protected pristine landscapes. The next few years are going to be hard, but we’re ready to fight, in and out of the courtroom.

After receiving nearly 80,000 public comments, the Biden administration listened—and secured protections for Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve.

In 2017, the Trump administration tried to open up over a million acres of Utah’s Bears Ears National Monument to oil drilling and uranium mining—but we fought them off. You can count on us to continue defending our public lands against future threats.

Offshore drilling threatens wildlife and coastal communities–and we can’t just sell off the ocean to the highest bidder. President Biden took a big step and permanently banned new oil and gas leasing from parts of the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Bering Sea!

It took 15 years to stop the dangerous Pebble Mine from destroying Alaska’s Bristol Bay, but we didn’t give up. The fight to protect our planet is ongoing—and we’re in it for the long haul.

We took the first Trump administration to court 163 times. If we have to, we’re ready to do it all over again.

The next four years are going to be challenging, but we’re determined to keep going because our planet and communities are worth fighting for. Donate to support our work as we head into the new year: action.nrdc.org/donation/369...

We have a long road ahead, but it’s important to look at what we’ve accomplished together this past year. 🧵👇

Every time the first Trump administration tried to push the Keystone XL pipeline project through approvals, we fought back with lawsuit after lawsuit. We're expecting the Trump administration to push for more oil and gas projects, so we’re gearing up to fight in court all over again.

We’re lucky to have supporters like actress and activist Kyra Sedgwick by our side as we face so much uncertainty heading into the new year with the incoming Trump administration. Donate to help power our work:  action.nrdc.org/donation/369...

It’s Giving Tuesday, and we need all hands on deck. With the incoming Trump administration, we’re gearing up to defend our hard-fought environmental progress against Project 2025—in and out of the courtroom. Donate to help power our work: action.nrdc.org/donation/362...
