Wash Post: Democrats ‘are going quiet on climate’ – It is now ‘the big issue Democrats have stopped talking about’
Wash Post: Since the beginning of 2025, according to data analyzed by The Washington Post, Democrats have pulled back from talking about climate change. At the same time, nations and companies have been whittling down their goals, pulling back from their most ambitious plans to lower carbon emissions — or going silent on the issue entirely. …
According to a Post analysis of social media posts, podcast appearances, and speeches, congressional Democrats’ mentions of “climate change” and “climate” have decreased from a peak in August 2022, when the party passed the Inflation Reduction Act. According to the analysis, 2025 has seen the fewest mentions of climate change since The Post started gathering data in March 2022. …
Philanthropy is also moving away from the issue. Last month Bill Gates published a blog post arguing that the “doomsday view” of climate change is misleading — at least for those in developed, rich countries. Earlier this year, the billionaire’s clean energy organization, Breakthrough Energy, announced steep staffing cuts and removed its policy team in the United States. …
Meanwhile, even the number of climate policies enacted has tapered off. According to the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics, countries added more than 300 climate and environmental policies in 2020 and 2021. In 2024, they added fewer than 50. …
Companies are pulling back as well. Mentions of environmental, social and governance — also known as ESG — in corporate earnings calls have fallen to a third of their 2021 peak, according to the energy analyst Nathaniel Bullard. Amazon, which once promised to make half of its deliveries carbon-free by 2030, has shelved that goal. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Post.) Shell similarly canceled a plan to decrease the carbon intensity of its operations.

Google to bring shuttered nuclear power plant back from the dead
https://www.newsbreak.com/share/4320896842200-google-to-bring-shuttered-nuclear-power-plant-back-from-the-dead By Tim De Chant, Google announced this week it is working with NextEra Energy to revive a nuclear power plant in Iowa that had closed in 2020. NextEra has been looking for a partner to reopen the reactor for the past year, and it found one in Google, which has been steadily adding zero-carbon energy sources […]

Gates Bailing Out on Climate?! NYT: Bill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity’s Demise’ -Warns against a ‘doomsday outlook’ – ‘Appears to have shifted some of his views about climate change’
In a memo released Tuesday, Gates said the world’s primary goal should instead be to prevent suffering, particularly for those in the toughest conditions in the world’s poorest countries.
If given a choice between eradicating malaria and a tenth of a degree increase in warming, Gates told reporters, “I’ll let the temperature go up 0.1 degree to get rid of malaria. People don’t understand the suffering that exists today.” …
“If you think climate is not important, you won’t agree with the memo. If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won’t agree with the memo,” Gates said during a roundtable discussion with reporters ahead of the release. “It’s kind of this pragmatic view of somebody who’s, you know, trying to maximize the money and the innovation that goes to help in these poor countries.”
The Trump Effect = UN COP FLOP! 100 countries stall on ‘climate targets’ ahead of COP30 — As Trump is pushing world leaders to abandon the climate fight
E&E News excerpt: Trump, who has eviscerated climate measures in the U.S. while urging, and threatening, other nations to abandon the fight against climbing temperatures. Two weeks before climate talks begin in Brazil, the lapse by more than 100 countries in submitting new United Nations plans for tackling global warming is colliding with rising enmity by President Donald Trump, who has eviscerated climate measures in the U.S. while urging, and threatening, other nations to abandon the fight against climbing temperatures.
The EU is struggling to fill the vacuum left by America’s reversal on global climate cooperation. And China, while pledging to cut its world-leading carbon pollution, has announced a target that analysts say is too low to prevent catastrophic climate impacts.
The COP30 climate conference in the Amazon port city of Belém is facing perhaps the biggest political pushback since negotiations started 30 years ago,
…
Trump is not the only challenge. Energy demand is soaring globally, complicating the transition away from fossil fuels, while political divisions and the high cost of goods are shaking Europe’s commitment to tackle climate change.
The clearest warning sign is captured in the raft of pledges that countries have so far failed to submit to the United Nations. The first deadline passed in February. Then another in September. Fewer than 70 nations, out of 195, have now offered new climate targets. (The U.S. rushed its in last year before Biden left office.)
STOP BREATHING, ASTHMATICS: CNN Rails Against ‘Climate Pollution from Inhalers’ – ‘Substantial contributors to planet-warming pollution’
