Extreme heat isn’t just breaking records — it’s breaking food systems.

A new UN report details how rising temperatures are devastating agriculture worldwide: from crop failures in Brazil and India to mass fish die-offs in Chile and wildfire-fueled losses across North America. The warning is clear. Climate change is no longer a future threat to food production; it’s happening now.

But while the report tracks the damage to crops and livestock, critics say it overlooks the billions of farmworkers facing dangerous, often deadly, heat exposure every day.

As one researcher put it: “The workers are present in the diagnosis, but largely absent in the prescription.”

The climate crisis is also a labor crisis, and protecting the people who feed the world must be part of the solution.

You're not imagining it. Electricity prices are surging. ​

​The Trump administration is doubling down on expensive fossil fuels and using AI data centers to justify keeping coal plants running and building new methane gas plants. ​

Clean energy is the cheapest and fastest way to meet rising electricity demand, but this administration is jeopardizing our clean energy future to prop up dirty fossil fuels.

The North Dakota Resource Management Plan did not come out of nowhere.

It was finalized after five years of consultation and input from two dozen Tribes. That input helped secure protections for drinking water, clean air, sacred sites and wildlife habitat.

Then Congress used the Congressional Review Act to wipe it out.

That sends a pretty clear message. The voices of Tribal communities were welcomed during the process, then tossed aside when it was politically convenient.

Years of work. Gone.
