Berks and Schuylkill Counties, PA; Harrisburg, PA - On April 17, 2026, two environmental organizations, Green Amendments For The Generations and the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, have filed legal petitions to help stop the Department of Homeland Security from advancing efforts to transform two Pennsylvania warehouses into Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities. The proposed facilities have faced state and local opposition due to their projected environmental and community impacts.

A Final Solution To The Human Surplus Problem

February 20, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Class Struggle, climate crisis, Environment, EPA, Human Rights, Trump Administration

President Trump’s Environmental “Protection” Agency (EPA) continues its profound and outright assault on public health and, in the process, the People(s)-Centered Human Rights (PCHRs) of U.S residents. We recently discussed the impacts of EPA’s recent decision to value human life at zero dollars, yet, the agency’s more recent decision to vacate the endangerment finding confirms that Trump’s EPA is willing to do everything in its power to prioritize corporate profits and capital over the health, safety, and welfare of the general public and especially that of poor and working class people - and Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, specifically.

Tribes Condemn FERC Approval Of Energy Storage Project

In a decision that has ignited fierce opposition from Indigenous leaders and environmental advocates, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Jan. 22 issued a 40-year license to build the Goldendale Energy Pumped Storage Project, a 1,200-megawatt energy storage facility southeast of Goldendale in Klickitat County, Wash. The project, developed by Rye Development, represents one of the largest new pumped-storage energy ventures in the United States in more than a decade. Proponents describe it as a critical addition to the regional grid that could store and release electricity to serve roughly 500,000 homes during peak demand.

Ocean Heat Goes Ballistic

February 1, 2026 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. Educate! Carbon emissions, climate crisis, Environment, Ocean warming

Climate science, over the past few decades, especially since the turn of the new century, has increasingly identified trouble spots with ecosystems that support life on Earth. These crucial ecosystems are stressed. But not many of the scientific reports of the past couple of decades compares to a bone-chilling new study of massive ocean heat accumulation in the year 2025, published January 14th, 2026, ScienceDaily: The Ocean Absorbed a Stunning Amount of Heat in 2025.

When Stockholm’s Traffic Office conducted a general assessment of street traffic in the Swedish capital in 2001, it came to the shocking conclusion that two-thirds of all trees in the city center were dead or dying. City authorities agreed that an urgent response was needed to nurse these leafy urban ecosystem pillars back to health. Enter Björn Embrén, Stockholm’s first “tree officer.” Under his leadership, various technologies and materials were tested in an attempt to create a more suitable living space for trees in the urban environment.

The Need For Climate And Environmental Internationalism

January 16, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Cancer Alley, climate crisis, Environment, Global South, International Solidarity, People's Centered Human Rights

References to the so-called Global South too often primarily connotes the idea of Latin American and Caribbean nations to the geographic south of the United States, as well as African Union nations and a select few in the Middle East, including the Republic of Yemen. While this notion is a factual articulation of the “Global South” parlance, it also carries an Anglo-centric lens that doesn’t consider the fact that the “Global South” is both a preposition and a position in the larger social order of racial capitalism. The Global South is a position in the sense that there are myriad examples that vindicate the assertion of author and scholar Robert L. Allen that Black America is a semi-colony or what he refers to as domestic colonialism.

After A White Town Rejected A Data Center, Developers Targeted Black Area

January 14, 2026 Adam Mahoney, Black Agenda Report. Organize! Data Centers, Environment, Systemic Racism, The South

In December, on a two-lane road not far from the ACE Basin, a protected ecosystem and wildlife refuge in South Carolina, Paul Black drove past St. Paul AME Church and the cemetery where his wife’s grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother are buried, then slowed as the trees opened onto the piney tract. Black is an environmental activist who has spent years fighting polluting projects across the South. But now he and Black residents in the rural South Carolina community are bracing for a new fight: to stop a proposed data center complex the size of 1,200 football fields.

‘Phytomining’ Could Put The Green In The Green Transition

January 1, 2026 Sarah DeWeerdt, The Tyee. Create! Environment, Green Transition, Human Rights, minerals, Mining, Phytomining

Alpine pennycress is a charming little plant. Its low-growing rosette of green leaves is topped by leggy stalks bearing clusters of pinkish-white flowers. As they develop, these flowers transform into beautiful flattened seed pods that, in the words of botanist Liz Rylott from the United Kingdom’s University of York, “resemble a British old penny.” But alpine pennycress (Noccaea caerulescens) is notable for far more than its penny disguise. The plant is one of a select group — representing just 0.21 per cent of the world’s known vascular plant species — that have evolved the ability to pull impressive amounts of valuable metals out of the soil.

Climate Change Accelerates California’s Cost-Of-Living Crisis

December 22, 2025 Aaron Cantú, Scheer Post. Educate! California, climate crisis, Displacement, Environment, Poverty

When California adopted a law to regulate greenhouse gases 23 years ago — the first state in the nation to do so — it focused on the future dangers of global warming. But while California’s emissions have declined, they have kept rising globally, and the climate has worsened. Now, in an effort to build back momentum, advocates are bringing attention to current-day harms driven by climate change. Among those affected by rising temperatures is Amanda Nevarez, who was left homeless by the Eaton Fire, one of two wildfires in Los Angeles County that together destroyed more than 16,000 homes and buildings and killed 31 people last January.

US Economy Becoming Highly Dependent On New, Untested AI Industry

December 18, 2025 C. J. Polychroniou, Truthout. Educate! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Economic crisis, Energy, Environment, Finance and the Economy, Water

Over the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become extremely popular in Silicon Valley and is widely regarded as the most transformative technology in the 21st century. In fact, it is already reshaping sectors like education, transportation, finance, health care, media, and telecommunications. Indeed, it is estimated that about 60 percent of jobs in advanced economies may be impacted by AI, which means that it could affect economic growth, employment, and wages. As a result, investment in AI is booming across industries, echoing the late-1990s dot-com era, with investors pouring billions into AI in the hope for a big payday.

Who Really Pays For Your Cheap Flight?

December 8, 2025 Rachelle Wilson Tollemar, Resilience. Educate! Air Travel, Environment, Local Economy, Tourism

In September 2025, I log into social media. My algorithm advertises a $137 Iberia Airlines flight from the US to Spain. The fare is crazy cheap. I can’t even fly to visit my family within the continental US for $137. I know I’m not the only one whose hand is twitching to click. But $137 is also conspicuously cheap. It is an obvious effort to keep encouraging international travel (and capital) in the turbulent contrails of a Spanish summer boiling hot with both a record number of foreign tourists and domestic-led anti-tourism movements. Sitting in the middle of this stand-off are these mass cheap flights, like those of Iberia, that are funding, fueling, and accelerating profound consequences on the peninsula.

During the closing plenaries of the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP30) in Belém do Pará in the Brazilian Amazon, United Nations Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell gave a rousing speech. Stiell, from Grenada, came to his post after a long career in the corporate sector and then as his country’s environment and climate resilience minister under the pro-corporate New National Party. In his speech he said that ‘denial, division, and geopolitics [have] dealt international cooperation some heavy blows this year’.

Corporate Pressure Mounts On Chileans Opposing Copper Mine

December 4, 2025 Viviana Herrera, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, Chile, Environment, Mining, Retaliation

Vancouver-based Los Andes Copper, developer of the proposed Vizcachitas copper-molybdenum mine in Chile’s Valparaíso region, has launched an aggressive campaign targeting the municipality of Putaendo’s mayor, Mauricio Quiroz, and local biologist Arón Cádiz-Véliz. The company is pressing legal and media challenges against them for opposing the mine and leading scientific efforts to protect the area. The conflict centres on a report and technical study commissioned by the municipality, aimed at designating the Rocín River Valley—a high-altitude ecosystem with glaciers, wetlands, and endemic species—as a protected area.

A Xipai Journalist On Attending COP30

November 21, 2025 Wajã Xipai, The Guardian. Educate! climate crisis, COP30, Environment, Indigenous culture

I feel as if I’ve been swallowed. And in the creature’s stomach, I walk with the sensation of being drowned. My nose hurts, with the same pain we feel when we are struggling to breathe. That’s my perception of the blue zone of Cop30, the official area for the negotiations. The architecture makes me think of the stomach of an animal. My eyes hurt, seeing so many people coming and going through the main corridor. This is the scene of a makeshift forest. On the walls are large paintings of a jaguar, a monkey, an anteater and a lizard. In the middle of the corridor are plants that resemble açaí palm trees, and below them, small shrubs. The place of nature within the blue zone is ornamental.

The Overshoot Presidency And The State Of Climate Politics

November 17, 2025 Alberto Toscano, In These Times. Strategize! climate crisis, Environment, False Solutions, Fossil Fuel, Technology

Ahead of this November’s Cop30 climate summit, to be held in Belém, Brazil — the gateway to the Amazon River — United Nations Secretary General António Guterres delivered a stark statement: “Let’s recognize our failure. The truth is that we have failed to avoid an overshooting above 1.5 degrees [Celsius] in the next few years. And that going above 1.5 degrees has devastating consequences.” Guterres’s remarks came just as Hurricane Melissa was making landfall in Jamaica as one of the most powerful Atlantic basin storms in recorded history. And it came after a year of other grim milestones: the devastating wildfires that struck Los Angeles in January and Canada in May, lethal flash floods from Argentina to Texas and heatwaves in India and Pakistan that brought temperatures up to 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit), leading to crop failures.
