Power plants are one of the largest sources of climate pollution. Tearing down these protections is a complete abandonment of the EPA's core responsibility, and our communities will pay the price.

Each day that schools aren’t given the support they need to modernize their bus fleets is one more day that children are subject to the threat of diesel exhaust. In a new op-ed, Dr. Lisa Patel calls on our leaders to act and protect kids this school year. sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/art…

Did California forget about its zero-emission school bus project? | Opinion

“Considering the state’s requirement for all school buses to be zero-emission by 2035, more sustained statewide support is needed.”

🌀#HurricaneLowell brought torrential rainfall to Hawaii — and climate change helped make its Pacific environment unusually warm. Human-caused climate change made the unusually warm sea surface temperatures along Lowell’s path up to 60 times more likely.

This ruling comes as the Trump administration moves to weaken clean-water-related protections. "If we don’t protect our streams and wetlands, the cost of dirtier drinking water and increased flooding will flow downstream to households..." motherjones.com/politics/202…

You don't have a right to safe drinking water, US court rules

A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.

Addressing the climate crisis - both cutting fossil fuel emissions and building out infrastructure to protect vulnerable people from heat and other emergencies right now - is an issue of life and death.

Thousands more Americans are dying from extreme heat than the government's official tally, according to NPR and Boston University. The CDC count has ranged from about 700-2,500 in recent years. But NPR's model estimated the real number has been between 7,000-10,700. Climate change and extreme heat appear to be taking many, many more lives than previously estimated. npr.org/2026/08/31/nx-s1-572…

A disaster disrupting access to psychiatric medication is more than an inconvenience. It can become a medical crisis. In a new #ClimateCheckup, Dr. Sylvanus Teboh calls for mental health to be part of the plan before the emergency happens. @medpagetoday medpagetoday.com/opinion/cli…

Opinion | A Missed Psychiatric Medication Should Not Become Another Disaster

Clinics can start with one question: if this patient is cut off from us for a week, what happens?

40% of schools can't keep kids adequately cool. This isn't a few unlucky classrooms; it's a nationwide infrastructure gap that falls hardest on the communities least able to fix it. All kids deserve cool classrooms to learn and thrive. ➡️ HeatAgenda.us @scientistsorg

As kids head back to school, classrooms are dangerously hot. And when schools can’t stay cool, families pay the price. Heat closures mean missed work and lost paychecks. The good news is that we have solutions ➡️ #HeatAgenda.us @scientistsorg time.com/article/2026/08/19/…

As Students Return, America’s Classrooms Are Dangerously Hot

America’s classrooms are heating up, but we have the tools to fix them, write Bill Frist and Jonathan Klein.

"Safe for most kids" isn't safe enough. The kid with asthma, the kid on certain meds, the kid with impaired mobility, and the kid with no AC waiting at home deserve to be protected too. Join us at HeatAgenda.us if you want to be a part of the solution. #HeatAgenda
