The thing about animal commodification industries is that they kill humans.
Occupational death and slavery are rampant in meatpacking and commercial fishing.
The calories and protein lost in the metabolic conversion of animal feed could feed every starving human on Earth.
We saved so many groupers.
Not disclosing the number for retaliation reasons, but it was a lot more than we expected.
Thank you so much to everyone who entered and donated.
Florida is currently raffling tickets to kill goliath groupers like Coral, after decades of protection.
We are organizing to buy up the tags and save them. State residents can enter for $10. Non-residents can donate to cover tag fees.
Please share. Instructions below.

Historic: Solar alone has become China’s #1 power source by capacity: 1,286 GW vs coal’s 1,285 GW
Coal led by 300 GW at end-2024. Solar erased that deficit in 19 months, even as China kept building coal
Nameplate is captured. Displacing coal's actual TWh is next: unstoppable

The world's starving children have endured enough. Must we take away their foie gras too?

The people of Albania are out on the streets fighting to save the last untouched wetland in the Mediterranean that Ivanka Trump and her Saudi backers are determined to turn into a huge luxury resort for Billionaires destroying the home of Flamingos, sea turtles, and critically endangered Mediterranean monk seal

The promotion of fish farming as a sustainability success story is one of the most extensive greenwashing campaigns in history.
We expend so much effort trying to set the environmental science straight, but the human cost goes overlooked.

“The instrument changes were partly motivated by a push to narrow the satellites’ applicability to weather forecasting, rather than conducting climate research as well. Among the instruments that were nixed: a tool to monitor air quality, including hourly monitoring of wildfire smoke; as well as one meant to study water quality and ocean currents, along with harmful algae blooms.”
The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years. cnn.it/4k6eD4o

Marine life dramatically declined in Gulf of Mexico in years after BP oil spill, study finds apnews.com/article/fish-dead…
Setting aside the offensively stupid premise, there is something about the spirit of this plot — clinging to the monsterization of profoundly intelligent, social creatures that we feared for centuries and massacred in wanton ignorance — that is uniquely corrosive and hateworthy.

Hard to overstate how much is at stake in this election. And not just for Brazil.
Brazil registered the lowest Amazon deforestation rate on record over the past year, allowing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to claim success on a key issue that’s been at the center of his platform bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration has finalized a rule allowing hunters to lure black and brown bears with donuts, bacon grease, and other food before shooting them at close range in Alaska’s national preserves.
The move reverses a Biden-era ban despite warnings from wildlife advocates about risks to bears and public safety. meidasnews.com/news/trump-ad…

In another episode of “Things That Should Be Illegal”
NEW: Megadonors have now poured *2.3 billion* into the midterm elections.
Leading the pack is Elon Musk, the world's richest man, who is now the biggest individual political donor in American history.
Six donors have given $100M+. Read here:

We just published the 2026 State of the Climate Report. Of 16 planetary vital signs spanning greenhouse gas concentrations, temperatures, the oceans, ice, energy balance, and wildfire, 7 (44%) are currently at record extremes. Read report here: doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biag1…
It’s like Silent Spring again, but this time the mass poisoning agent isn’t the pesticide industry, it’s just hunters and for some reason we have a harder time standing up to them.

Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. theintercept.com/2026/10/15/…

This is quite possibly the worst endpoint of these fossil auctions.
Fossils are no longer valued by their "completeness" at the market but by how much a buyer can steal information from the scientific community.
These auctions are a rot on our society and should be banned.

The EPA has never set Clean Water Act standards for atrazine
Atrazine is the most widespread pesticide water contaminant in the US
We've just sued the EPA to get its act together and start doing its job
