The Montezuma Carbon Capture Project: Its Risks and Costs, Why It Won’t Fix Climate Change, and How You Can Help Stop It!
Despite what we now know about the limits of industrial carbon capture (outlined in our companion post: The Limits of Carbon Capture in the Race Against Global Warming), California is still relying on industrial carbon capture for its climate goals.
This post examines the proposed Montezuma Carbon Capture and Sequestration Hub targeting southern Solano County and the scope of its potential environmental, public health, and community impacts.
Learn why the time to act is now and how you and other Bay Area residents can help stop the project before it’s too late.
A New Beginning: Climate Changemakers Joins the Climate Reality Project
Climate Changemakers has recently joined The Climate Reality Project. This new combination of expertise brings us one step closer in finding solutions for the climate crisis and in making change happen. Pairing Climate Changemakers expertise in advocacy and unique tools for community engagement with our training resources and expansive network creates a powerful vessel for effective climate action.
Mapping the Federal Retreat From Climate Action
The Trump administration is rolling back climate science and protections just as climate impacts intensify. Cuts to NOAA threaten weather forecasts and research, a disputed DOE report downplays greenhouse gases, and EPA moves to rescind the Endangerment Finding that underpins U.S. emissions rules. These federal retreats put communities at risk — including here in the Bay Area — but local leaders and residents can step up to defend science and push for action.
Seizing the Mantle in 2025: Turning Climate Setbacks Into Climate Action
The landscape of climate action feels like it’s shifting beneath our feet. From federal leadership relinquishing leadership on climate science and clean energy, to attacks on climate science, the undercutting of the Biden-era EPA Endangerment Principle, and the massive energy consumption of growing AI data centers, where do we stand, how will local communities, and the most vulnerable communities be impact, and where do we make a stand? The answers aren’t always clear. But what is clear is that our local networks, agencies, and grassroots movements are more important than ever. Climate Reality Bay Area (CRBA) is spotlighting four campaigns that invite reflection and action — and we’d love for you to be part of the conversation.
