A community can have local newspapers and still lack local news - PoynterCalifornia’s local news landscape — from a thriving weekly in Carmel to a one-reporter newsroom in Merced — shows why counting newspapers isn't enoughwww.poynter.org

Toxic smoke will continue to poison our skies as many wildfires in the west are 0 percent contained.

I don’t think people realize how bad it will get. Like smoking and cancer, many will suffer before we act on what needs to be done about climate change. Like a cigarette dangling from our lips, scientists say spit it out and stop burning fossil fuels.

Good stuff. Research shows fossil fuels are the number one cause of climate change and the spike in deadly extreme weather events happening around the world today. Scientists agree climate change will get worse if we continue to burn it. Many media stories ignore this, much to our own peril.

Wildfires are growing rapidly in North America and Europe. But in Africa, Asia and South America, wildfire intensity is lower since they are used mainly to clear land for agriculture: “it really is all driven by human demographic change.” @borenbears @AP

It's not whether climate change is causing these extreme weather events, but what is causing it in the first place. For many news outlets, including the words "caused by burning fossil fuels" is too hard to do. The science is irrefutable.

As go the seas, so goes the atmospheric temperature. It will be a wild and destructive ride.

Amazing how Hassett can look into the camera with his soft, smiley face and spin facts into a Trumpian bubble of misinformation. Anyone talked to people who live in these sleepy towns facing invasions of massive water and electricity snatching data centers? Not happy.

Same old story: nature takes a hit in the latest gold rush.

Details: "The Trump administration’s statement did not mention climate change. But extensive research shows global warming, driven by the use of fossil fuels and other emissions of planet-heating gases, is intensifying the extremely hot and dry conditions."

Not to mention the billions of dollars in economic and health damages caused by oil giants like Exxon every year. Their profits come at everyone's expense. Just look at Europe right now. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why you can't trick real climate scientists.

Do people care? I think so when they can't pay the rent. In the first quarter of 2026, the world’s six biggest oil companies—BP, Chevron, Eni, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies—saw a combined net income of $23 billion. For Q2, that figure is expected to nearly double"

Bad news for climate disinformation.

Not good for bigger wildfires out west.
