The Limits of Carbon Capture in the Race Against Global Warming
Is carbon capture a climate solution we should get behind or is it a ploy fashioned by disinformation campaigns and designed to prolong our reliance on fossil fuels? In this post we'll untangle fact from hype with a close look at hard evidence, detailing carbon capture's deep limitations, and sharing what’s recently been uncovered about how carbon capture made its way into climate models to begin with.
When Climate Change Denialism Drives Federal Policy — A Recipe for Disasters
This final post in our six-part series highlights how climate denialism is shaping federal climate policy. Drawing on scientific evidence, public opinion data, and policy analysis, we explore what’s driving climate denialism, the key tenets of climate change science, and what’s at stake for communities, ecosystems, and economies when climate change denialism informs federal climate policy.
The Climate Safety Net: How Federal Climate Systems Quietly Support Local Resilience
Federal climate agencies do more than issue forecasts or respond to disasters — they form an interconnected safety net that supports local planning, preparedness, and resilience. This post examines how cuts to core agencies like NOAA, FEMA, and the EPA — including the dismantling of the EPA’s Office of Research and Development will have a domino effect — weaking larger systems that protect public safety and ensure disaster readiness and planning, nationally and locally.
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.
