Trumps rampage goes on. His administration is opening up hundreds of thousand of hitherto protected square miles of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to commercial fishing. latimes.com/environment/ne…

France's longest river has dried up. And you still believe that, “climate change is a hoax.” Just because you do not take an interest in climate change, doesn't mean climate change won't take an interest in you.

People in France are literally rescuing fish before they die as rivers disappear completely. After 3 consecutive heatwaves, 16% of French rivers have dried up. Once-living riverbeds are becoming ecological deserts/cemeteries. The birds are disappearing also due to lack of food.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could soon declare that pygmy rabbits or Florida manatees are threatened with extinction. But under a policy change issued by the Trump administration, Americans could still kill, trap and harass them. wapo.st/3TrN2iV

#BREAKING: The Trump admin. just moved forward with a plan to sell over 30 million acres off American Samoa for deep-sea mining. This plan is being advanced despite strong public opposition, putting wildlife, fisheries, habitats, and communities at risk: oceana.ly/4pmBPMs

14 days to save Chaco Canyon from the Trump administration! Let’s make our voices heard.

There are over 800 active wildfires burning across Canada. Entire communities have been erased and dense smoke has caused major cities like Toronto to have the worst air quality in the world. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy @MarkJCarney

Just 14 days to stop the destruction of one of America's most sacred cultural and historical sites. 14 days! Donald Trump wants to obliterate Chaco Canyon for oil and gas drilling, sacrificing thousands of years of history to enrich his allies. That's why I'm leading legislation to permanently protect Chaco. This is outrageous. Submit a public comment and share this post far and wide. We cannot let this administration destroy this heritage site. Comment link below ⬇️

Please sign Deep mining will rake the sea floor and destroy a critical carbon and devastate marine life Deep sea nodules that took millions of years to create, make oxygen, sustain marine life are about to be destroyed in seconds by Deep sea mining billionaires Mining will release toxic sediments and dissolved metals that could be transported through ocean currents over hundreds of kilometres

I just signed Greenpeace’s pledge to tell Trump: Hands Off Our Ocean. Deep sea mining would bring toxic pollution, deafening noise, and irreversible harm to one of the last untouched places on Earth. We can still stop it – will you sign too? act.gp/3TGdxyc

Concerning how factory trawling in the Arctic feeding grounds continues to evade any mention in media surrounding the mass starvation of the gray whales, especially as necropsies show their attempts to diversify diets — that’s our only short-term lever.

Since 2019, gray whales have been washing ashore in Washington in unusually high numbers as they migrate from Mexico, where they overwinter and give birth, some 8000 kilometers to their Arctic feeding grounds. The death toll slowed for several years. But in the past 2 years it

The Canadian media avoids any mention of the climate crisis when reporting on record-breaking heat, wildfires, floods, tornados, even extreme weather forcing cancellation of Canada Day activities in Ottawa, because the capitalists who control the media are all-in on fossil fuels.

Some news that may have passed you today. French Polynesia just quietly protected 520,000 square kilometers of ocean from seabed mining and industrial fishing , bringing their fully protected waters to 1.4 million km². That's larger than most countries, done through more than a decade of advocacy from local mayors and communities, not headlines. Sharks, sea turtles, hundreds of mollusk species, all safer today because people kept showing up for years with no spotlight on them. That's the kind of ocean news we love hearing. 🌊

Last week in the Alps, even the highest glaciers experienced unusual warmth and were losing ice rapidly. Protective sheets were draped over the ice to shield it from the sun and heat, like a veil over a dying patient - a haunting symbol of a warming world.

Study Finds Chemically Treated Lawns Increase Your Dog’s Cancer Risk by 70% A six year Tufts University study found that dogs exposed to professionally applied lawn pesticides had a 70% higher risk of developing canine malignant lymphoma, one of the most common cancers in dogs A Purdue University study found that Scottish Terriers exposed to herbicide treated lawns had up to seven times the rate of bladder cancer compared to unexposed dogs The most disturbing finding: lawn chemicals were detected in the urine of dogs in 4 out of 8 households that never even treated their own lawn, meaning chemical drift from neighboring yards is enough to expose your dog Dogs are considered a sentinel species for human health because they share our environment and develop the same cancers, meaning what these chemicals are doing to your dog is likely a preview of what they do to you

America just had its worst honey bee die-off ever and pesticide cocktails were found in nearly every hive Between about June 2024 and early 2025, U.S. commercial beekeepers lost 62% of their colonies That amounts to 1.7 million hives, the largest loss ever recorded in US history Long‑running surveys now show that annual colony losses above 40–50% have become disturbingly normal In response to the winter collapse, USDA’s Agricultural Research Service and Cornell’s Scott McArt’s lab began multi‑tier residue testing investigations describe multiple pesticides of different classes present simultaneously in virtually all samples they tested Support local beekeepers farming without chemicals

Amazon data centers consumed a staggering 2.5 billion gallons of water in 2025. The landmark disclosure represents Amazon’s first public accounting of its total data center water consumption, a volume equivalent to roughly 3,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Across its network of more than 900 facilities in over 50 countries, Amazon utilizes massive water-based cooling systems to prevent server overheating. While the retail and cloud giant highlighted a 2% decline in direct water usage from 2024—attributing the reduction to more efficient cooling and a commitment to return water to communities—critics point out that such high-level global metrics can obscure the localized strain these facilities place on drought-prone areas. This massive resource consumption is driving a political backlash, with communities and lawmakers demanding greater transparency. In the U.S., Utah recently enacted a groundbreaking law requiring certain new data centers to publicly report their annual water use, while local residents elsewhere voice concern over falling water pressure and rising utility bills. Public sentiment reflects this tension: a recent national survey revealed that only one-third of Americans support new data center construction, and a mere 14% would accept having one built near their home. source: Bhutani, A.

**CANADA** is on fire. Smoke is poisoning our lungs and our bloodstreams. Our planet is barreling towards the precipice. How can we live like this? How can this go on?
