Good news.
But it's a low bar: Trump is backing off from doing something incredibly stupid, so we celebrate...
Scoop: The Trump administration is backing off its plan to dismantle a $368 million ocean monitoring system crucial to understanding climate change, after a bipartisan backlash in Congress. nytimes.com/2026/06/18/clima…

Today, a wildfire destroyed 15 homes and forced 1,500 evacuations in eastern Washington state. One person is missing.
32,000 fires. Nearly 4,000 square miles burned. Double the 10-year average. And the peak season (July and August) still ahead.
As the #ClimateCrisis continues, risks increase while Trump has fired the firefighters and slashed prescribed burns 35%, undermining measures and people that protect us.🔥

Today is the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought.
We just had our worst spring drought on record: 60% of the lower 48 hit. Crops and farmers harmed. Yet the Trump administration is cutting tools farmers need to survive it: NOAA forecasting, USDA Climate Hubs.
Fight the climate crisis.

The Trump administration is spending big to prop up coal. The country is building solar anyway.
In May, solar out produced coal nationally for the first time: 12.8% to 12.2%. And 74% of this year's new solar capacity went up in states Trump won.
Clean energy > coal.

Coal can't compete on price. So Trump simply ordered the Pentagon to buy it anyway — plus $175M to prop up 6 aging plants.
There's no such thing as "clean coal." And renewables are cheaper and cleaner.
This isn't energy policy. It's a taxpayer-funded bailout for a dying industry.

Wildfire season isn't coming — it's already here. And the Trump administration cut 16% of the Forest Service's workforce last year.
Nearly 1.9 million acres have already burned in 2026, well above the 10-year average. And 62% of the country is in drought.
The worst possible time to gut the people who protect our forests.

Oracle's profits jumped 27% — then it laid off up to 30,000 people, the largest cut in its history.
The reason? To free up billions to build AI data centers that strain our power grid and water.
A profitable company, trading workers for server farms.

People over profit. Always!
Iron County is already in a water crisis & just approved a new data center and a 1.5-gigawatt natural gas plant anyway.
When did development become inevitable and people become an inconvenience? What will it take for this state to put community before profit?

Pundits keep telling Democrats to stop talking about climate. They're wrong.
Think @DebHaalandNM. Alicia Johnson. Salt River Board elections. And so many more.
Tomorrow at Netroots: Chair Deatrick, @RepYassAnsari and ED of @DataProgress Ryan O'Donnell. Moderated by @RL_Miller.
Making the case that climate wins elections.

💯! Thank you @UtahDemocrats!
If Adams were serious about protecting our communities, he would be calling for a full suspension & a transparent public review, not asking a celebrity investor to redraw the map and make stronger "commitments."
Yet another classic case of our Republican supermajority operating unchecked.

Michigan sued Big Oil for colluding to suppress EVs and clean energy for decades.
Big Oil's response? File to dismiss — calling it "purely political."
Exxon shelved the lithium-ion battery. Chevron bought EV battery patents to bury them. Oil companies abandoned solar — then used litigation to keep others out.
This case could reshape how courts approach accountability for the delayed energy transition.

Your energy bill isn't rising by accident.
Since March: Energy prices ⬆️ 7.8% | Gas ⬆️ 15.6%
This is the risk when we stay hooked on oil.
There is no shipping lane closure that can stop the sun from shining, the wind from blowing.
Clean, affordable renewable energy is the answer. And Democrats are fighting for it.
