'We don’t have to pretend anymore': Greens ready to bail on D.C.

The climate advocates who cheered President Joe Biden's arrival at the White House last year are preparing to give up on Washington. Instead, environmentalists and many of their Democratic allies are starting to shift their focus to state capitals as the places to press for action on climate change - going back to a strategy that they employed with some success during the Trump era. The flight from D.C. is in large part a response to 18 months of frustration with major setbacks to Biden's climate agenda, capped by Thursday's Supreme Court ruling that hobbled the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate greenhouse gases. Even before that decision, Democrats' ambitious plans for hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of climate action wilted in the Senate. And November's midterms are giving off vibes of a Republican sweep - similar to the rout that Democrats suffered in 2010, the last time they tried and failed to pass major climate legislation. … Continue Reading

'We Are Not Going Back'

Hundreds gathered in Humboldt County to protest the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, joining hundreds of thousands across the nation in decrying the ruling that abruptly ended nearly five decades of constitutional protection. Until June 24, the 1973 landmark case was widely considered settled legal precedent grounded in the fundamental right to privacy afforded by the U.S. Constitution. While safe and legal access to abortion remains secure in California, the decision now place… Continue Reading

Close to Home: Envisioning the Klamath without dams

The beleaguered Klamath River Basin is finally getting good news. The recommendation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to advance Klamath dam removal sets a path for a more sustainably managed river - something we haven't seen for more than a century. It won't solve every problem in the Klamath Basin, but it bodes well for the future.

Close to Home: The view from Glasgow climate summit

Climate change is the greatest moral, economic and environmental imperative we are facing as a country - and as a planet - and the policy decisions we make today will impact every future generation. Rising temperatures, severe weather, mass extinction of wildlife, food shortages, historic refugee crises: the consequences of inaction are significant, and the solutions grow more expensive with every passing year.

Ban on new offshore drilling must stay in the Build Back Better Act

The oil spill off the coast of Southern California is an ecological and economic disaster. Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of gallons of oil have spilled from an offshore pipeline, and it has spread across the coasts of three counties. Dead birds and fish washed ashore, local beaches were closed, boaters were being asked to stay away, and all fishing was curtailed for the area. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last as long as offshore dril… Continue Reading
