Despite recent reporting showing continued global interest in renewable energy expansion, right-wing media is baselessly suggesting that climate solutions are no longer relevant.

We won’t stop. Science will prevail. 🔬✊
Today we won.

A U.S. District Court ruled that the administration violated federal law when it secretly convened a group of climate contrarians to produce a thoroughly debunked report to overturn the Endangerment Finding.

The science still matters. We won't stop.

This Telegraph article acknowledges the reality of rising temperatures, but mocks climate crisis "madness" and "hysteria". Apparently, because polar bears are adapting, we don't need to worry!
