We're disappointed that the Trump administration took such a strong oppositional stance to the IMO's exploration of a carbon price on global shipping.

Pricing carbon pollution is smart, effective policy, and we remain committed to building more support for it in the U.S.

A fierce Trump administration push to stop the global shipping industry from paying for its own climate pollution appears successful.

CCL volunteer Polly Merhar shares personal reflections on the impacts of growing wildfires in a new op-ed for the Bemidji Pioneer.

She calls on Minnesota's Senators @klobuchar.senate.gov and @smith.senate.gov to support the #FixOurForests Act.

By passing the Fix Our Forests Act, senators can protect lives, livelihoods and lands by reducing wildfire risk, strengthening local economies, and ensuring science-based forest restoration.

The U.S. Forest Service has treated about 4 million fewer acres than this time last year. We're way behind on thinning, prescribed fire, and related actions.

Shrinking Forest Service falls behind on wildfire prevention
"Operational challenges" have hampered the use of prescribed fire to reduce potential wildfire fuel, according to Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz.

As a volunteer with CCL, I can say that this has been my personal experience and has become more and more so since I began visiting congressional offices on both sides of the aisle nine years ago.
Thankfully, this kind of rhetoric is not what we hear from Congress—on either side of the aisle.

Most Republican & Democratic lawmakers know climate change is happening & clean energy offers major economic benefits.

We'll keep working to advance bipartisan climate laws. Join us! ➡️ cclusa.org/join

Clean energy helps keep electricity costs in check.

"In some of the states with the highest level of renewables, prices have either risen more modestly than average or even fallen," @heatmap.news reports.
