Carbon capture does not reduce emissions - three case studies to prove it. Instead, carbon capture causes more harm than good, and only serves to prolong fossil-fuel industries

"Drax has taken the best of what they had left: their peace, #cleanair, and health." Read how #Drax's subsidies in the UK enable its #biomass burning in Gloster, Mississippi, at the expense of the community's health.
We can’t breathe because of a Drax pellet plant subsidised by UK tax
The company is paid up to £1bn a year producing green energy for Britain. But one of its factories has been accused of choking people in America

Wetlands across the globe are being devoured by fire, releasing carbon and destroying vital ecosystems.

In an op-ed in @landclimate.bsky.social, EJF CEO and Founder Steve Trent argues that governments must take action to protect wetlands and the Indigenous and local communities that rely on them ⬇️

"Fires impacted every Indigenous territory in the Pantanal: the Guató tribe lost 90% of their land. This is the frontline of a crisis that the world refuses to see."

Wetlands blazed in 2025, but new political pledges were made as well. Read analysis from @stevetrent.bsky.social @ejfoundation.org
