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.

Politico: ‘Climate backsliding comes for blue-state governors’ – ‘The Democrats’ fervor is showing cracks — as they face legal limits, shape-shifting political realities & economic headwinds’
Take Pennsylvania, where Gov. Josh Shapiro dismayed his green-minded supporters this week by agreeing to withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the Northeast’s carbon cap-and-trade program. …
Meanwhile, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul approved a natural gas pipeline that Trump supports and signed off on a deal to keep a gas-fueled cryptocurrency mining operation running for five more years…
More compromises on climate policies may be coming,
The party has retreated on a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates, seemingly spooked by the potential for higher fuel prices if refineries close. And Newsom’s administration has tried to keep open one key refinery in Northern California. …
Newsom faces grumbling at home about how California’s Democratic leaders are standing up for the environment — or not. The party has retreated on a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates, seemingly spooked by the potential for higher fuel prices if refineries close. And Newsom’s administration has tried to keep open one key refinery in Northern California. …
The next big decision for a Democratic governor may come in Massachusetts. Lawmakers there are advancing, on a bipartisan basis, legislation to significantly water down the state’s major climate commitments, including making its 2030 emissions targets nonbinding and slashing money for energy efficiency.

Dem Mega-Donor Tom Steyer finally admits obvious! ‘People don’t respond to climate as a cause’ – ‘Climate can’t feel like another burden or guilt trip’
