"Elegy For The Washington Post Climate Team" [2]
"The Washington Post produced high-quality and wide-ranging climate coverage. Then it fired most of its climate reporters."


Join climate podcasters Roxanne Scott, Olga Loginova (creator of the investigative podcast “Leaving the Island”), and Dan Leone (host of “Ripple,” an investigative podcast about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill) in a conversation moderated by Jordan Gass-Pooré (creator of the “Hazard” series) to learn how we can save narrative climate podcasts from going extinct.
"The Washington Post produced high-quality and wide-ranging climate coverage. Then it fired most of its climate reporters."
"[D]o you know if there are major climate polluters near you? Thanks to several publicly available mapping tools, it’s never been easier to find out."
"Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is continuing to fuel its data centers with unpermitted gas turbines, according to a Floodlight visual investigation. Thermal drone footage shows xAI is still burning gas at a facility in Southaven, Miss., despite a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance."
"Republicans on the House Agriculture Committee on Friday released text for the farm bill and announced they will mark up the bill on Feb. 23 — with the framework drawing immediate criticism from the top Democrat on the panel who accused Republicans of filling the package with poison pills."
"The Texas Attorney General’s office filed a lawsuit Friday afternoon against Dow Chemical Co., North America’s largest chemical manufacturer, describing hundreds of water pollution violations from its industrial complex on the rural Gulf Coast in Seadrift."
"Ozone and particulate matter air pollutants cause over 100,000 premature deaths per year and affect the health of millions of Americans. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said last month that his agency would stop considering those costs when drafting new regulations."
"The legislation would make oil and gas firms pay for climate damages from burning their products. Trump has referred to such laws as 'extortion.'"
"Polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, haven’t been produced since 1979, after studies found that exposure to them could cause a variety of harmful health effects, including cancer. But they were so widely used before then and so long-lasting that they still impair water quality in much of the tidal Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries."
"In a bold bid to put costly US Roundup litigation behind it, Bayer on Tuesday announced a $7.25 billion proposed class action settlement for users of its glyphosate-based weed killing products who have cancer now or develop cancer in the next several years, with average awards ranging from $10,000 to $165,000."
