The very definition of (fossil fool) insanity: taxing clean, healthy energy to defend polluting, health-harming fossil fuels.

Senate Republicans' latest text is unmoored from the reality of climate change and public opinion.

More apocalyptic fervor from the GOP:

Today's dangerous, extreme heat is at least 5 times more likely due to climate change. 🔴Days like this are more common now because of an overheated world driven by carbon pollution. Climate Central has more information on how we know this. www.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

We lost a giant this weekend. Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman did more for climate and clean energy policy in Minnesota than almost anyone, and she is a key reason why Minnesota has one of the strongest climate policies in the country.

Cool research from CBC's Jemima Freudmann using the @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social SASSY questions to better understand where CBC's audience is and how their audience wants TV programming to engage with #climate.

"If we already had everybody we needed, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. It’s pretty clear to me that we need to build a bigger, stronger climate movement, and that means talking to folks who don’t already see themselves as being in it."- Kate Ogden

Trump's extreme and illegal Project 2025 action to pause all federal grants will immediately harm millions of people.

It's time to fight back.

"Driving change requires good storytelling." Sonia Klein and Aqsa Mengal from @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social had the opportunity to sit down recently for an interview with Eli Andrews, Chief Executive Officer at Localyst, to learn more about how he approaches #climatecommunication.

The Analyst Institute shared advice on spotting unreliable evidence.

Use caution when you see:
🚩 1. No randomization
🚩 2. Small sample size
🚩 3. Outsized impact, especially in high-salience contexts
🚩 4. Outcomes measured with non-definitive data
🚩 5. Impacts “in the lab” vs. “in the wild”

A key insight from YPCCC partnerships is the importance of storytelling at scale. Good Energy's Anna Jane Joyner does that everyday by helping Hollywood writers tell climate stories.

Takeaway from her work you can use: Climate can be entertaining.

Some food for thought: theconnector.substack.com/p/digital-or...

During the election, I saw many organizers leaving it all on the field. But making change means sustaining activism over months and years. Groups that prioritize volunteer experience and leadership development make greater impacts.

As we figure out how to defend climate progress and keep climate action moving forward, it is important to understand that Trump’s win on November 5 was not a popular mandate for attacking climate policies.
