Climate Coverage Plunges, Though Crisis More Dire Than Ever The scientific consensus that we need to phase out fossil fuels fast has not changed, but coverage about climate change in US news outlets has plunged.

Coverage of climate change in U.S. news declined nearly 46% from 2021 to 2025, at a time when the climate crisis is worsening. Our "free press" blows with the wind of whoever is in the White House. fair.org/home/climate... H/T @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

Much of the plastic humans have produced in our history appeared to be missing, and scientists struggled to account for it all. Until now. Spoiler alert: it's in the ocean. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Why is climate action stalling, not ramping up as Earth gets hotter? As the impact of global warming becomes more obvious, you might expect countries to step up climate action and preparation, but we’re seeing the opposite happen

For the fourth year in a row, there has been “little to no measurable progress” in policy and action against climate change. www.newscientist.com/article/2505...

Wolves and Elephants in the Sierra Nevada Wilderness The scientists and wildlife officials have all had their say regarding the killing of five endangered gray wolves in a Sierra valley early in the fall of this year.

Reintroducing the gray wolf into the Sierra Nevada habitat has cost taxpayers nearly $6 million. Why are we now killing them? Spoiler alert: so you can eat beef.
