For the first time in history, Alaska officials have canceled the winter snow crab harvest—on the grounds that the snow crab population in Bristol Bay shrank by at least 7 billion. But what happened? Is climate change to blame?

Climate Denial

Three decades ago, the climate change denial movement was born at a conference sponsored by fossil fuel behemoth Koch Industries. Today, we all are living with the dire consequences of such a successful event and struggling against a planetary climate emergency.

[link removed]
And as Associate Director of Communications for Latino Media Javier Sierra writes, the success of climate denialism is forcing us all to ask ourselves the question of the century.

No More LNG in the RGV

Three global institutions—Macquarie Capital (Australia), Societe Generale (France), and Credit Suisse (Switzerland)—have supported the construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), one of the few communities on the Texas coast without fossil fuel refineries.

Protect Public Lands

Oil and gas leasing on our public lands directly undercuts President Biden's ambitious climate goals. Despite this, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed lease sales covering over 250,000 acres of public lands in Wyoming, New Mexico, and Kansas.

[link removed]
Tell the Bureau of Land Management that more oil and gas leasing is the exact opposite of what we must do to address the climate crisis.

Stop the Burn

Most of us consume sugar every day, but we don't realize that there is a deadly practice behind this commonplace item. Cane sugar producers set fire to thousands of acres of sugarcane fields in and around the Everglades Agricultural Area, exposing nearby residents to toxic smoke and ashfall.

[link removed]
That is why we are calling on Congress to modify the Farm Bill and end this outdated, racist practice!

The Wheels on the Bus

Last week, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that they will nearly double the first round of funding for the Clean School Bus Program to nearly $1 billion, and released a list of awardees that includes school districts in every state in the nation. Originally set at $500 million, the first round of EPA funding was almost doubled to $965 billion due to an overwhelming number of applications from school districts.
