"The Trump administration is trying to roll back decades of critical health and safety regulations that have saved millions of lives and are all that's standing between us and runaway climate change," said one campaigner.

While U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin boasted Wednesday of canceling billions of dollars worth of green grants, considering the rollback of dozens of regulations, and shutting down every environmental justice office nationwide, critics warned the moves will have dire consequences for people and the planet.

In the space of a mere few weeks, the Canadian political terrain has shifted dramatically. Between Prime Minister Trudeau’s imminent departure and Trump’s attacks on Canada’s economy and sovereignty, a Conservative majority led by Pierre Poilievre in the coming months no longer seems like a foregone conclusion. In an otherwise bleak global landscape, many in Canada are breathing a sigh of relief that polls are showing a stunning collapse in the Conservatives’ lead, especially when poll respondents are asked to consider a Mark Carney-led Liberal Party.

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.

He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.

The researchers said the 2023 data strengthened the case for holding fossil fuel companies to account for their contribution to global heating. Previous versions of the annual report have been used in legal cases against companies and investors.

Trump’s billionaire allies push more LNG terminals, as household bills climb

That’s according to a forecast by the B.C. government included in Tuesday’s budget, which predicts a 113 per cent increase in the price of fossil gas this fiscal year.

Premier says province must prepare for tariffs to return and start sending more exports elsewhere

B.C. Premier David Eby's office has shared a list of 18 resource projects that he says the province will be fast-tracking in order to reduce its reliance on trade with the United States.

They are a blend of energy, mining and critical mineral projects that are already on the books, but which the government says it will be working to expedite through the approval process.
