Happy Earth Day, Everyone!
Today will bring climate-related news and activity on countless
fronts all around the world.
Much of the press will focus on the White House, where President Joe
Biden’s global climate summit is unfolding now. Biden aims both to
spur urgent climate action and assert US leadership in the climate
space. And in case you missed it, the president made it official: by
2030, the US pledges to cut carbon pollution by
50 percent compared with 2005 levels. During the
summit, other world leaders are releasing their own statements.
Covering Climate Now urges our fellow journalists to scrutinize all
these statements carefully—and measure them against what science says
is necessary.
Meanwhile, if recent years have taught us anything, it’s that
ordinary people taking to the streets are just as important as
government officials in driving change—and today, activists young and
old will encourage climate awareness and action. Swedish teen Greta
Thunberg, a leader of the Fridays for Future campaign, will testify before the US
Congress this afternoon on the need to eliminate
government subsidies for continued production of fossil
fuels—production that is incompatible with the Paris Agreement goal
of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. And
activists with Earth Uprising International will live stream their
“Youth Speaks Summit 2021” here.
One tried and true tool for raising awareness is film, and today
brings a slew of them focusing on climate. Among the most notable are
a NowThis and discovery+ special, featuring Vice President
Kamala Harris and a host of other top Biden
administration officials; the BBC’s and PBS’s in-depth profile of
Thunberg and her activism; and the documentary The
Race To Save The World, just reviewed in The Guardian and available digitally.
For journalists, today is an opportunity for recommitment to the
climate story. After so many years when the media as a whole took a
pass on the climate story, today virtually all of the biggest names
in news clearly understand the importance of what Covering Climate
Now calls the defining story of our time. News organizations
are hiring climate teams, launching important new projects, and
beginning to tell climate stories with real energy and enthusiasm.
Gauging by coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic, there’s still room for
growth if journalists mean to treat climate change as an emergency.
Today, many of our fellow journalists will cover heads of state and
activist heroes. Tomorrow, and every day, we must commit ourselves to
all the other climate stories, on every beat in the newsroom, about
how the climate is affecting people’s lives everywhere and the
challenge of preserving a livable planet for all.
Onward!

BULLETIN OF THE ATOMIC SCIENTISTS

Earth Day 2021
Climate change has been an important part
of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ coverage since 1961 and it has
been a major factor in our Doomsday Clock deliberations since 2007.
While the Clock now stands at 100 seconds to midnight, we recognize efforts
to reverse the detrimental effects of climate change as a bright spot on a
darkening horizon.
We always encourage you to learn about man-made threats to our environment
and how you might make a difference. Science matters, preparation matters,
and individuals matter.
This Earth Day, please support the Bulletin by subscribing to our premium
magazine, which gives you access to 75 years of our archived
content. Help us #turnbacktheclock.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Is the US nuclear community prepared for extreme weather?
Climate change is bringing fires, floods,
and hurricanes with increasing intensity. Those charged with oversight of
US nuclear infrastructure and waste should be energetically guarding
against known vulnerabilities. But so far the response has largely been one
of inaction. Read more.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Big advertising to ditch Big Oil?
In the world of advertising, a new
campaign takes place—against advertising. “Clean Creatives” seeks to get
individuals in the ad industry to stop abetting misinformation campaigns,
and even to stop taking business from the fossil fuel companies
entirely. Read more.

CLIMATE CHANGE
Why we need to take back Earth Day
Earth Day carries a cultural framing that
no longer fits the social movement associated with it, writes Columbia
University professor Adam Sobel. Today’s climate movement explicitly
recognizes, in a way the environmental movement of 1970 did not, that climate
is a social justice issue. Read more.

SIERRA
CLUB
Dear
James,
This Earth Day is unlike any other. We come together in the
midst of so much: state-sanctioned violence toward Black and
Brown people at the hands of police, a pandemic, a society
sick from gun violence and racism, and our climate, clean air
and water all under assault from the same people who want to
divide us. But also? A powerful opportunity to shape the
future by coming together. The things we do over the
next several months are a once-in-a-generation chance to
shape the fate of the planet for centuries. This Earth Day,
we have to come together in a way we never have before as a
movement that enlists all of humanity to save our planet.
Earth Day can’t just be any other holiday this year. That’s
why it can’t just be one day: from
Earth Day to May Day we are joining together for 10 days of
intersectional, people-powered national action.
Over the next 10 days we're going to have trivia nights, art
builds, and meaningful discussions on the intersections of
racism and environmentalism.
We'll hear from community leaders building a resilient Gulf
Coast, a performance from a Hamilton star,
national youth activists, labor movement leaders, and experts
working to protect our beautiful public lands -- and so much
more!
And it all starts TODAY -- with a focus on the global call
for climate action! Join us at 9:30 am PT / 12:30 pm ET on
Thursday, April 22 for what world leaders can learn from
India amid President Biden's climate summit for world
leaders.

President Biden is
kicking off a summit today that brings together world leaders to
discuss global efforts to combat climate change. When he rejoined
the Paris Climate Agreement, Biden sent a welcome signal that the
United States would be reengaging with the world around climate
diplomacy.
To truly grapple with the climate crisis, grassroots voices across
the globe need to be at the table when world leaders are making
decisions that impact our communities. That’s why we’re hosting
a special Earth Day Facebook Live discussion with our
partners in India, highlighting just some of the grassroots voices
that need to be heard. RSVP to our first Earth Week event: a
discussion about Global Grassroots Voices.
We have no time to waste. This is our moment to remake our economy
and society to allow all to live safe, healthy, and thriving lives
-- no matter your race, gender, background or zip code.
Thank you for joining us!

More than 50 years
ago the launch of the first Earth Day greatly influenced the thinking of
NPG’s founders, who were convinced of the need to get people focused
on the fast-paced rise in population numbers here in the
U.S. They created Negative
Population Growth only two years
later in 1972.

Have you ordered
and displayed your NPG bumper sticker to help encourage a discussion of
population size and growth in Earth Day activities?

Have you signed
NPG’s petition asking Congress to set reasonable and responsible national
population policies that will create sustainable population levels in order
to protect our environment?
|

|
|
|

NPG looks forward to joining with countless national and
world-wide organizations in taking a good hard look at all we’ve
accomplished together, renewing the “save the planet” fire within the
hearts of global citizens, setting challenging new environmental goals, and
moving forward to meet them.

Defending the Amazon
Today we celebrate our Mother Earth and
all those who faithfully defend her!
From a devastating pandemic to explosive
burning seasons across the Amazon, these crises have shown us how much we
depend on Earth defenders for a healthy planet. Can you make a monthly donation in
honor of Indigenous Earth defenders protecting the rainforest for our
collective future?
100% of every donation goes directly to
our program work to protect and defend the Amazon!

conflict on Indigenous lands and the destruction of our Earth. Your gift amplifies the voices of
Indigenous communities, environmentalists, and human rights activists on
the front lines of the climate justice movement.

Happy Earth Day, Dick!
Today we're thinking about all the courageous activists
working to slow climate change, stop harmful development
projects and protect the land, water and natural resources
that vulnerable communities around the world depend on for
survival. The grassroots organizations we support are
committed to working alongside rural and Indigenous people to
elevate their voices, protect their land and help them in the
quest for a healthier, safer planet.
These communities are often the ones most affected by the
dire impacts of climate change, but their perspectives aren’t
considered when it comes to addressing the issue. When global
leaders sit down to develop climate policy, their solutions
must be shaped by the people suffering most from the climate
crisis, and they must protect the right to land and natural
resources for all. Here in the United States, we have an
administration that’s open to progressive environmental
policy — will you join
us in asking President Biden to make sure the voices of
Indigenous and rural communities are heard?
