This is the first decision from any legal proceeding anywhere in the world where climate deniers have been held financially liable for their deceit.

As it turns out, the most successful period for progressive legislation in recent memory is having an impact

Another important smart take from Sam Sankar on the scary environmental implications of this Supreme Court.

There’s much to celebrate for this year’s #SOTU2024 when it comes to climate and environmental justice. Here’s how the Biden administration can continue helping us reach our climate and environmental justice goals. #StateOfTheClimate earthjustice.org/experts/raul-g…

.President Donald J. Trump touched repeatedly on the need to address climate change and the promise of the new clean energy economy his administration is building. It's essential to build on these successes with continued bold action. earthjustice.org/press/2024/ear…

The Trump Administration took its wrecking ball to the rules that make the Endangered Species Act work in practice. The Biden Administration is in the final stretch of making rules that must fully repair the damage. The ESA has never been more important. progressive.org/op-eds/our-sur…

The White House could soon undo the damage that the previous administration did to the Endangered Species Act. "It's essential that the final rules fully recover the ESA," says Abbie Dillen. The ESA is our best tool for addressing the biodiversity crisis. ejus.tc/4a7JJAU

At last. This is a gigantic step forward in a generational fight against the chemical industry and its cancer-causing pollution. As my colleague Patrice Simms sums it up in the NYT: “In a very real sense this is about life and death.” nytimes.com/2024/04/09/cli…

We can't eliminate fossil fuels overnight ... therefore ... we must expand fossil fuel extraction & continue using fossil fuels indefinitely. You rarely see this (il)logic stated baldly, but it underlies a great deal of public discourse.

Thanks to Chuck Schumer and the Inflation Reduction Act, New York will soon generate enough energy to power half a million homes through offshore wind. The clean energy revolution is here.

Hooray Vernice!!

Thanks Claire Wayner for such a helpful set of threads. So much good stuff here to unlock transmission, and as you point out, concerted advocacy will remain essential.

Beautifully stated

Truly thrilling settlement that puts Hawai’i on an enforceable path to zero emissions transportation by 2045. So grateful to our amazing clients for spurring historic climate action that vindicates young people’s right to a healthy environment. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

Folks asking if I’m concerned about the Supreme Court toppling Chevron. Of course I am. But, public interest environmental lawyers aren’t going to put down our pencils & legal pads. I work with some of the smartest & most dedicated lawyers Earthjustice - we will never back down.

Honored to join so many organizations and advocates in celebrating New York’s monumental climate victory today! Quote f/Earthjustice Abbie Dillen “Governor Kathy Hochul is standing up for NYers and setting a national example by signing the climate change superfund act into law.”
