The U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has caused devastating health and environmental impacts on civilians, from mass displacement and polluted air and water to long-term health risks for future generations. @americanprogress.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
Clean energy was always the more affordable, more secure, and more competitive bet. The Iran war has simply made that impossible to argue with. Our @americanprogressaction.org latest: www.americanprogressaction.org/article/the-...
The Trump Administration will use $1B in taxpayer money to cancel two offshore wind projects for New Jersey and North Carolina. That’s 4 GW of clean energy, 37,000 jobs, and enough power for 1.3 million homes—all gone. www.americanprogress.org/article/trad...
America's reliance on oil has created a self-inflicted affordability crisis. The solution? Investing in clean energy.
Suzie Wiles needs some help thinking of ideas to lower gas prices. Any suggestions? How about:
• Don't bomb Iran.
• Restore fuel economy standards.
• Offer rebates to people who want an EV but can't yet afford one.
People want lower bills, safer homes and a future our kids can afford. But Trump's repeal of climate protections will leave families less health, less safe and with skyrocketing insurance, electricity and disaster recovery bills @cleoinstitute.bsky.social: www.theinvadingsea.com/2026/02/18/e...
We deserve leadership that understands clean air, clean water and clean energy are not partisan ideals. They are safeguards people rely on every day. They are measured in insurance bills, emergency room visits, power outages, storm repairs and lives disrupted. www.theinvadingsea.com/2026/02/18/e...
The system is rigged in favor of fossil fuels. New @americanprogress.bsky.social analysis shows that cumulatively, fossil fuels have received 3X more federal subsidies than solar & wind, faster permitting timelines, cheaper land leases, and more.

RFK Jr. claims the Trump administration has made progress on its “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, yet Trump’s EPA is stripping away lifesaving protections—exposing more than 9.5 million Americans to toxins tied to cancer, autism, and other lifelong health concerns.
When it comes to endangered species conservation, we need new ideas and a bold vision of abundant nature. Podesta and McConville describe: tinyurl.com/2x68vs55
Apologies, correcting it now.
Trump is fighting the wrong fight in the Arctic—his focus should be on addressing climate change, not controlling Greenland.
NEW: President Trump promised to protect kids' health. Instead, EPA Head Lee Zeldin is rigging the system in favor of corporate polluters, exposing 2M+ kids to toxins & chemicals tied to asthma, autism, ADHD & cancer and delivering a gut-punch to MAHA goals: www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
Excellent reporting by @theguardian.com on our new @americanprogress.bsky.social report and how EPA's corporate capture and environmental rollbacks are undercutting the MAHA agenda, endangering the health of kids, families and communities: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Trump calls climate change "the greatest hoax in history" while rushing to control Greenland because...climate change is opening up the Arctic. His administration’s climate denialism is making Americans LESS safe from the very threats he claims to care about. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
“Marco Rubio’s reversal on Venezuela, from defender of democratic opposition to broker of oil deals with regime insiders, has left the Venezuelan people’s future dangerously uncertain.” 👏 @fcoloninfl.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/marc...
Our ability to compete, respond, solve, and protect is diminished when our government science expertise is devalued by our leaders.

The rest of the world is moving forward. But because of the Trump administration’s retreat from climate action, Americans pay the price in climate disasters, lost leadership, and an economy falling behind in clean energy. Learn more about the withdrawal here

Over the past year, he dismantled U.S. climate leadership by:
Ending air pollution data sharing 📊
Gutting global food security🌽
Eliminating USAID 🤝
Rejecting clean shipping🚢
Directing the withdrawal of the U.S. from the UNFCCC, the Green Climate Fund, and 65 other international organizations 👨👩👧👦
The last three years were the hottest on record. Americans are already paying through record hurricanes, wildfires, and floods. This moment demands collective action. Instead, Trump retreated.
The Paris Agreement is the global pact where nearly 200 countries committed to limit warming and protect our planet. It helped bend the projected warming curve from a catastrophic ~4°C to ~2.7°C. Progress like that doesn’t happen without collective action.
Today, President Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement becomes official. It’s a step backward for American leadership.
Extreme cold + an aging grid infrastructure = blackouts and higher bills. Clean energy diversity and grid upgrades are how we keep the lights on. ❄️⚡️

The Trump administration is putting Big Oil first once again with its plans to withdraw from the UNFCCC, the bedrock of all international climate cooperation—and Americans will pay the price.
Mi columna de opinión en @elpais.com sobre la guerra de Trump contra la ciencia climática y la generación que podemos perder a causa de ello.

The damage Trump is inflicting on American climate science will reverberate for decades; but states, cities, and universities demonstrate that American climate progress is resilient. My column for @elpais.com : english.elpais.com/climate/2026...
Last night, the Trump administration withdrew the United States from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)—the foundational 1992 treaty that established the entire framework for international climate cooperation.
This is unprecedented and dangerous.
"In essence, U.S. military power is being used as a de facto security force for the president’s corporate donors and their oil interests, leaving the American taxpayer to effectively subsidize a security force for Big Oil..."

ALERT: EPA was created 55 years ago to protect our health & environment. The Trump admin is slashing EPA’s staff, budget & protections to make it easier for polluters to cut corners, emit more toxins & chemicals & boost their profits. ajustclimate.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...
To address the harmful impacts of floods, the US should:
🌊Invest in resilience and nature-based solutions
🌊Adequately fund scientific research and access to disaster relief
🌊Improve risk assessment, pricing, and planning
