Petrostates and their political allies are doing everything they can to try to stop the world from making progress on solving the climate crisis. They fiercely opposed what would have been the most important step forward at COP30: the development of a roadmap away from fossil…

There was a hugely important announcement today at COP30: South Korea joined the Powering Past Coal Alliance, and in doing so, announced it will not build any new coal plants and will shut down 40 existing plants by 2040. As the country with the 7th largest coal fleet, this is a…

There is huge momentum to develop a roadmap for the transition away from fossil fuels. Agreeing to create this roadmap would make COP30 a major success for the world and the leadership of President Lula. But Saudi Arabia is demanding that it be vetoed. The rest of the world must…

Nancy Pelosi was the greatest Speaker of the House of Representatives in American history. Throughout her career, she has led with courage, grace, and clarity, including through times that tested the very heart of our democracy. I’ve always admired her strength, her character and…

I offer my condolences to Lynne, Liz, Mary and the Cheney family as they grieve the passing of former Vice President Cheney. As a father, I was inspired by his fierce support of his daughter Liz’s honorable and patriotic leadership.

We all have a role to play in solving the climate crisis. Effective action means understanding the problem and its solutions. That’s why I’m sharing an updated version of my climate presentation. It’s free & available in 12 languages: therealitytour.org #ThisIsReality

Today, we lost a giant in the struggle for a better future, Jane Goodall. I deeply admired her advocacy for our natural world, which was both fearless and tireless. Her groundbreaking research helped increase humanity’s understanding of and respect for the animal kingdom and our…

As fossil fuel facilities continue to spew more and more heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the sky, they also spread massive amounts of disease-causing particulate co-pollution into the communities where they’re located — killing almost 9 million people every year. The…

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Robert Redford. His generational talent as an actor and director entertained and enlightened audiences around the world for decades, and his passion for independent film and documentaries played a historically crucial role in transforming…

All of us as Americans must condemn the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk in the strongest terms possible! In our nation, acts of political violence are attacks on democracy itself. I urge all Americans to join in a commitment to help steer our democracy away from the hatred and…

I’ve spent the past three days in Louisiana taking part in events organized by local community leaders to highlight the devastating impacts of the climate crisis — from Hurricane Katrina to the region dominated by the petrochemical industry known as Cancer Alley. I was deeply…

Today’s EPA announcement ignores the blindingly obvious reality of the climate crisis and sidelines the EPA’s own scientists and lawyers in favor of the interests and profits of the fossil fuel industry. Weakening safeguards that reduce greenhouse gas pollution will harm American…

Of the countless ways that David Gergen contributed to our great country, what I will remember him for most was his kindness to everyone he worked with, his sound judgment, and his devotion to doing good in the world. His innate interest in helping others was what made him so…

The fossil fuel industry and its captive political allies will do everything in their power to try to undermine climate science. The global community must be more diligent than ever in order to protect the credibility and integrity of the @IPCC_CH politico.eu/article/saudi-…

My heart breaks for the families impacted by the catastrophic floods in Texas. In the aftermath of this disaster, we must examine the policy & communications failures that left so many at heightened risk when climate-fueled extreme weather is rapidly getting worse. To help today:…

We don’t have any time to waste if we want to solve the climate crisis in time to avert the truly catastrophic impacts that can still be prevented. But dangerous delay – which is the new “climate denial” – is exactly what Congress has done by repealing the clean energy provisions…
