It's hardly news to say that it has been a grim season for environmentalists and their allies in Washington. Republicans control the debate, and Democrats are on the defensive. That's not necessarily the case in the states, however, where people keep working and organizing. Perhaps the most promising news comes...

As we find ourselves surrounded by the tatters of the climate debate in the U.S. Congress, it seems fitting to take a moment...

Stephen Schneider died on Monday. Losing Stephen is so hard. He was one of the few climate scientists I could call, ask for guidance, and cry with. He knew as much as anybody about the complex effects of global warming on glaciers, coral reefs, sea level rise and drought. Stephen...

Al Gore and the U.S. EPA packed a double wallop last Thursday. The question is whether you and every one of your family and friends will get out from behind your computers and respond by breaking down the doors of Congress. Today.

In case you didn't catch the news, the...

Mothers and children aren't taking no for an answer when it comes to federal action on climate change. Only hours after the recent Lieberman-Warner climate legislation fizzled in the Senate, the new 1Sky campaign (www.1sky.org) delivered over one hundred murals to Congress that were created by grandparents, teachers, parents...
