The likely political motivation behind these mailers? The Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, state Rep. James Talarico, supports LGBTQ+ rights, a stance that has drawn attack ads from groups supporting the GOP nominee, Ken Paxton. mirandacgreen.substack.com/p/the-myster...

And how much better off we readers are since the launch!

One year ago today, I launched CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES, a newsletter about climate and culture. Proud of everything I've accomplished and excited for Year 2! Highlights from Year 1 and notes on what's ahead. Very grateful to everyone supporting my work! www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ccg-turns-...

New scoop from me, and first story for @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2026/10/05/c...

To get more climate content online, TED’s climate solutions arm, called TED Countdown, has spent the last year working with 238 content creators with a combined audience of more than 700 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. atmos.earth/political-la...

El Niño is shifting the storm track toward California this winter. With the long-term warming trend amplifying El Niño effects, "Odds of a very wet winter are significantly higher than they would usually be," @weatherwest.bsky.social @ucanr.edu climate scientist, tells @mirandagreen.bsky.social

Fun hearing @ianjames.bsky.social talk all things Colorado River with @mirandagreen.bsky.social on the latest Boiling Point podcast! www.latimes.com/boiling-poin...

I spoke with @robbonta.bsky.social minutes after CA filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin for a "sham" offshore wind deal, which cancelled a proposed project in the state. It was Bonta's 88th lawsuit against Trump, and won't be his last. Full Boiling Point EP: open.spotify.com/episode/5piJ...

On this week's podcast I speak with Los Angeles Times reporter @hayleysmith.bsky.social and @rephuffman.bsky.social about the politics, legal battles and economic stakes behind the administration’s push to replace clean-energy investments with fossil fuels.

As this year’s Super El Niño approaches, the government’s public-facing website is no longer online. ENSO has been dark since June 25, 2025. But thanks to a handful of former NOAA employees, the ENSO blog is making a return this week.

This week on Boiling Point I speak with climatologist @weatherwest.bsky.social about the "Super El Niño" & the heavy rains & high tides it might bring. An interesting pt: The sea level rise we'll see is a window into our future in 10 yrs. Will we be prepared? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

New from Tow: One org requested all syllabuses for 74 courses at UNC Chapel Hill with terms related to DEI. Their mission to “expose and root out corruption in government..." They claim to have filed more than 100,000 FOIA requests and nearly 100 lawsuits since 2022 By @mirandagreen.bsky.social

I missed this excellent look by @mirandagreen.bsky.social into the conservative funders, pink slime websites, + campus activists that attacked campus #DEI. www.cjr.org/tow_center/h... Same tactics + some of the same groups (Accuracy in Media) that we found in our censorship investigation 👇

Excited to share I'm the new host of the The LA Times Studios climate podcast Boiling Point. This season we're broadening the focus and talking about all things climate change: from oceans to energy to developing technologies to politics. The first EP is out now! open.spotify.com/episode/52LG...

New Investigation out today for @columjournreview.bsky.social 'How a Network of Pink-Slime News Sites and Conservative Activists Went After Campus DEI' I spent months digging into how these groups targeted universities, leading to the firing of faculty and staff. www.cjr.org/tow_center/h...

The text scammers are getting way too meta

Today's Government Accountability Office report on ICE's Camp East Montana is scandalous: - Evidence of a homicide was destroyed or went missing - Detainees with HIV and diabetes were not given treatment plans - Cells were filthy and only cleaned weekly - A guard lost a loaded gun in the facility

You know what's more depressing than the current state of journalism? Getting fed tailored ads like this on LinkedIn!

Props to Emily for doing the math.

Have you heard stories about how the DOJ is not prosecuting bad actors? Interior's watchdog just released a report that found a company had siphoned $7.4 million worth of energy to its power plant and failed to pay any royalties. The company admitted guilt. The Nevada DA declined to prosecute.

Excellent question/article from Miranda Green for Atmos Magazine. @mirandagreen.bsky.social

The U.S. has an energy crisis, and Congress thinks the answer is fossil fuels. Now they want to make it impossible for anyone to sue the industry over climate change. They introduced the "Stop Climate Shakedowns Act of 2026" last week. Read more: atmos.earth/political-la...

The Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969 was the nation's first major oil spill. In 2026, the US is investing in drilling new fossil fuels like never before.

Trump's push to build a big metal border wall through Big Bend National Park has spurred loud bipartisan pushback in Texas: atmos.earth/political-la... via @mirandagreen.bsky.social

Trump is suggesting moving the US Forest Services HQ to Park City, Utah. Think it might be a bad idea? Read what happened to the USDA when he moved it's HQ to Kansas City during his first term. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

When things are going great

Before Greenpeace lost its $345m Dakota Access trial, a mysterious paper attacking the group appeared in North Dakota mailboxes. I traced it to a pink-slime network before it began writing about me

Trump's SOTU speech last night was the longest in history --1:47 mins! And it didn't mention climate change ONCE. In fact, none of Trump's 3 previous speeches have. But they have danced around the damage caused by it. atmos.earth/political-la...

Trump: I've always wanted the Congressional medal of honor, but I've been told I can't give it to myself.

I haven't covered the SOTU address in several years (Once in person), and man this does not make me miss being a Congressional reporter.

There is an international scientific consensus that climate change is primarily caused by burning fossil fuels. Still, the United States Environmental Protection Agency has decided it should no longer play any part in protecting the public from those emissions. atmos.earth/political-la...

In the past year, Metric Media filed more than 9,000 FOIA requests across all 50 states, according to an investigation for the Tow Center by @mirandagreen.bsky.social www.cjr.org/tow_center/p...

This week's Post layoffs hit a chord for me, so I wrote something personal, timed with the anniversary of my own layoff a year ago. "What is it that they say, again? Journalism is the thing you love that doesn’t love you back." mirandacgreen.substack.com/p/where-do-t...
