Persistence is powerful!

While federal climate action stalls, health professionals are securing wins at the local and state levelsβ€”from Georgia to California. At the same time, allies are driving change globally. #OPOH26

E.P.A. Weakens Limits on Mercury From Coal Plants The move appeared to undercut the Make America Healthy Again movement led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a onetime campaigner against mercury pollution.

Breaking News: The EPA is allowing coal-burning power plants to release more heavy metals like mercury, a powerful neurotoxin linked to brain damage.

Climate change is threatening the future of winter sports. Warming temperatures have led to fewer freezing days and reduced snowfall, making the necessary conditions for the Winter Olympics increasingly rare.

Tonight we're joining @actonclimateus.bsky.social in Tampa at their Extreme Weather People's Hearing. In Florida, we've seen first-hand how extreme weather destroys lives and uproots communities. From extreme heat to hurricanes, climate change is intensifying weather across the state.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeβ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

​The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has finalized its repeal of the endangerment finding and the rollback of climate emissions standards for light, medium and heavy-duty vehicles. By doing so, the EPA is rejecting settled law and science to benefit polluters.

Natural gas prices hit $6 for first time since 2022 as massive winter storm sweeps U.S. U.S. natural gas prices surged above $6 for the first time since late 2022 on Monday as a massive winter storm sweeps across the country.

Severe winter storms, like the one that hit many parts of the US this weekend, put strain on the natural gas power system, leading to power outages and rapid price spikes. Dependence on unreliable fossil fuels is putting us at risk when these winter storms hit.

Energy demand is higher than ever and so are electricity prices. Trump and Congress' war on clean energy and worship of fossil fuels is driving prices up. Americans need to look no further than their own energy bills. We must say no to Trump’s #PollutersFirst agenda.

How Trump’s promise to slash energy bills in half has failed across the US Guardian analysis shows electricity bills were up 6.7% last year, and much higher in some states, and gas bills up 5.2%

Trump promised to reduce energy bills in his first year; his loyalty to climate denialism and misinformed policy choices are doing just the opposite. Energy bills are up and clean, affordable energy is down.

🌑️ Appointing leaders empowered to oversee extreme heat planning and response
🌑️ Budgeting for extreme heat on an ongoing basis
🌑️ Planning for heat emergencies and longer-term heat resilience
