With human-caused climate change making lands hotter and drier, we are increasingly living in flammable landscapes. In an era of climate-driven megafires, how can we better live with fire, rather than always fighting it? This week, we also take a deep dive into the recent Supreme Court case West Virginia v. EPA.

Africa is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet its people are already suffering some of the world’s most devastating climate impacts. When those most affected are those least responsible, how can those most responsible address that injustice?

83% of people in the United States live in urban areas. And these days that’s where important climate progress is happening. Cities all over the country and globe are experimenting with climate resilience projects specific to their local environments and challenges.

What a student learns about climate science depends a lot on which state they live in and who’s teaching. This week, we unpack climate miseducation with investigative reporter Katie Worth and learn about the undue influence of industry on school curricula.

Roughly every five years, the U.S. designs and implements a new farm bill, which sets federal policy on agriculture. As stakeholders begin pushing their agendas for the 2023 farm bill, where can climate and equity find a place?

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other economic pressures disrupt global energy markets, even insiders are scrambling to make sense of this moment. How are surging fossil fuel prices, changes in policy, and supply chain turmoil affecting US climate goals?

Colonization has displaced Indigenous people from their ancestral homes through outright theft, violence and war for hundreds of years. But land under Indigenous stewardship is associated with reduced greenhouse gas emissions and greater biodiversity. How can we elevate Indigenous knowledge and stewardship to protect our environment?

Music and social movements have historically gone hand in hand. Now, when governments consistently fail to take meaningful action on climate, why aren’t more musical artists raising the alarm over the growing catastrophe?

Russ Feingold became a household name co-authoring the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, more commonly known as McCain-Feingold. Today he is using his experience to tackle alarming biodiversity loss and the worsening climate crisis. How can a broken democracy heal a broken climate?

Money managers wield a lot of power to push companies to act in the interests of their stakeholders. As climate presents a growing financial risk to institutional investors and average people with 401Ks, how much can investors drive corporate action on climate?

A fundamental injustice of the climate crisis is that those who have contributed to it least are being impacted the most. That will continue as global temperatures rise. Real progress can’t be made if Black, Indigenous and people of color are left behind.

Our climate and democratic systems are under threat. And for some people, progress on climate is a zero-sum game, a belief that is often racially tinged. This week we discuss how to protect climate and democracy with Congressman Jamie Raskin, followed by authors Heather McGhee and Rebecca Willis.

Fossil fuel companies have spent decades casting doubt on climate science to protect their bottom line. In a special collaboration with Amy Westervelt of Drilled, we trace the origins of the corporate free speech argument and how it’s being used to defend climate misinformation.

Global sales of electric vehicles more than doubled in 2021. That’s good news for transitioning away from fossil fuels. But sourcing the materials needed for clean energy might not be so clean. What are the impacts of mining metals for a clean energy future?

Solar power has become one of the cheapest sources of electricity and is viewed as a cornerstone of our clean energy future. But utilities in many states have challenged how much rooftop solar customers are compensated for their excess power – and what they pay to connect to the grid.

We’ve grappled with the COVID for two years. Simultaneously, we’ve been struggling to cope with the climate crisis. For those fighting the effects of this slower-moving catastrophe, fatigue is a familiar feeling. What have we learned from two years of COVID disruption that can inform how we deal with climate fatigue?

The past several weeks have shaken the world order. The IPCC released its latest report the same day the U.S. Supreme Court heard the most environmentally significant case in a decade, all while Russia’s invasion of Ukraine dominates headlines and policy agendas. This week, we take a deep dive beyond the headlines into the geopolitics of energy.

It has been 3 million years since there’s been this much CO2 in the atmosphere. According to the IPCC, stopping emissions won’t be enough to avoid the extreme weather that’s already occurring. We need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and nature-based solutions may not be enough. How could technology play a role?

To limit climate disruption, we need to pull vast amounts of carbon dioxide out of the sky. Nature already has many ways of doing this. So how can we maximize those powerful tools? This week, we delve into the carbon benefits of peat bogs, forests, soil and kelp beds.

Methane is a menace, causing 80 times more damage to the climate in a 20-year time frame than CO2. Two big sources of methane emissions are cows and food waste rotting in landfills. California may provide an example of how to wrangle this greenhouse gas.

Scientists have known about carbon dioxide’s atmospheric warming potential for 160 years, but they weren’t immediately concerned about the impacts. In a new book, writer and climate campaigner Alice Bell traces the history of evolving climate science and energy technologies.

Fossil fuel companies spend vast amounts of money on advertising and PR campaigns touting their climate commitments. Yet actions rarely live up to the hype. Who is really behind pushing out misleading corporate narratives?

Climate disruption features in the headlines nearly every day, penetrating deeper into our personal lives. In these uncertain times, how do we weigh the decision of whether or not to bring more children into the world?

Only about 10 percent of U.S. workers belong to a union. But in fossil fuel industries, labor groups are working to protect jobs and navigate the transition to a renewable economy. How can we ensure protections for good, family-supporting jobs in climate-friendly fields?

Many corporations are pledging to hit net zero emissions. But target dates may be far in the future, and definitions of “net” can be slippery. How can consumers, investors and policy leaders distinguish between greenwashing and meaningful action?
