The world is changing to clean cars: Only the US is stuck in reverse!
For the first time, not a single gasoline-only car made it into China’s ten best-selling passenger vehicles in May 2026. All are now either a fully electric or a plug-in hybrid model. msn.com/en-us/autos/news/gas…

Pardon me for I have willfully polluted!
Meet the Clean Air Act pardon crusaders. Tr$mp pardoned a mechanic who disabled pollution control monitors on hundreds of diesel trucks. Now others are lobbying for similar clemency.

To shield fossil fuel companies from liability, they are attacking research that measures how much climate change, which their pollution stokes, has worsened individual disasters. @corbinhiar @lesleyclark @chelseaeharvey subscriber.politicopro.com/a…

Saves money on gas too!
China's EV surge may have saved estimated 262,000 lives as infamous city air pollution plunged. Cleaner air can mean fewer asthma flare-ups, less cardiovascular strain, and a lower risk from chronic exposure to traffic pollution. thecooldown.com/green-tech/e…

Shame!
Tr$mp officials killed a federal criminal investigation into the coal empire owned by Sen. Jim Justice, a Republican from West Virginia and a close ally of the president’s for violations of the Clean Water Act.

Mexico unveils new homemade EV amid record gas prices! US takes a slightly different tack: Repeal laws and tax cuts promoting EVs, tax them more than gas guzzlers, ensure that US automakers fail to compete, jeopardizing their future, bar Chinese EV imports autos.yahoo.com/ev-and-futur…

Fire season: The US is a tinderbox, with a puny snowpack in the West and a widespread drought. Tr$mp's reorganization of federal firefighting efforts and the departure of many staff qualified to fight fires are heightening concern. @peter_aldous insideclimatenews.org/news/3…

Sure, with all the other pillaging, let's destroy America's National Forests!
Allowing dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles to trample millions of acres of national forest, as well as repealing protections from ATVs in most national parks. @LFFriedman nytimes.com/2026/06/05/clima…

AI=more pollution!
The environmental impacts of data centers already rival some of the world’s largest countries. Their water and energy use and pollution will double in just four years as use of artificial intelligence grows.

Let’s become ostriches!
Tr$mp administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate. @eniiler nytimes.com/2026/06/01/clima…

Clean up by cleaning up!
Clean energy saved EU €51 billion in 2025 by cutting fossil fuel imports. Investing in renewables has also ensured greater energy security when the war on Iran is destabilising supplies and forcing up costs. @rebeccaahughes euronews.com/2026/05/30/clea…

No don't peek!
Tr$mp Wall St. monitor will kill Climate Change Disclosure Rule which required companies to disclose whether they face significant risks from climate change. Airline, oil, gas, farm, retailer and truck lobbies fought the rule. @maxinejoselow nytimes.com/2026/05/29/clima…

We'll pay more and they'll pollute more!
EPA Rollbacks Could Raise AC, Refrigeration Costs Despite Promise of Lower Prices
Tr$mp rule will likely cost consumers more money while creating higher emissions of climate-warming superpollutants. @mckennapr insideclimatenews.org/news/2…

Spewing poison!
Most data centers support AI and come bundled with polluting technology from last century: diesel backup generators the size of semitrucks that have made sporadic smoke plumes a fact of life for many in Virginia. @evanhalper @kcrowebasspro

As the climate warms and development brings us into closer contact with ticks, the risks are changing. More ticks are surviving winters, staying active for more of the year and expanding into new areas and potentially picking up new pathogens @MaggieAstor nytimes.com/2026/05/02/well/…

MIT study debunks EV myths: That EVs don't make sense in cold climates, or a dirty power grid cancels out the benefits? The opposite is true—and EVs cost no more to own than a comparable gas car almost anywhere in the US.

Europe swelters as deadly May heatwave shatters records for a second day. At least seven died in France from the scorching conditions. Scientists warned the extreme weather reflects the growing impact of climate change across a rapidly warming continent. france24.com/en/france/20260…

Don't cheat!
A group of the world’s leading climate scientists are warning governments and the livestock industry against using an “accounting trick” that will imperil the all-out global effort required to control heat-trapping emissions. @georginagustin insideclimatenews.org/news/2…

Mourning our alarm clock! Rafe Pomerance was the visionary who challenged us to tackle global warming, the greatest crisis of our time. Leader, organizer, teacher, optimist with a great sense of humor. @tripgabriel nytimes.com/2026/05/24/scien…

Even the Navy opposes oil drilling off California!
Military and bipartisan leaders say a Tr$mp plan to allow oil drilling in an empty expanse of the Gulf of Mexico and off of Southern California would obstruct military operations. @jakespring washingtonpost.com/climate-e…
