Bill Moyers, a great American who proudly called himself an environmental journalist, died June 26, 2025. He was one of SEJ’s “angels,” helping the organization to survive difficult times — first by inspiring us and second by engineering a major sustaining grant from the Schumann Foundation. Moyers also delivered the Keynote at SEJ's 2005 annual conference in Austin, Texas.
"Louisiana is the latest state to redefine natural gas as green energy under a new law the Republican governor signed this week, even though it’s a fossil fuel that emits planet-warming greenhouse gases."
"Kyle Lybarger built a loyal following online by talking about native plants and why biodiversity matters."
"Monitoring air quality is key to forecasting and assessing wildfire smoke. Right now, that’s a coordinated effort between federal, state, tribal, and local entities. Federally approved and privately operated monitors feed data into tools like the Environmental Protection Agency’s AirNow tool, and help forecast air quality and issue public health guidance. But air quality scientists worry that EPA budget and job cuts will make it difficult to get air quality information to people, endangering public health."
"The European Union’s leadership in the fight against climate change is under increasing pressure as far-right forces gain influence and threaten its flagship Green Deal, which legally mandates the bloc to achieve climate neutrality by 2050."
"Group sues EPA for failing to produce facility names. Trump administration hasn’t disclosed all who asked for reprieves."
"Several organizations dedicated to preserving free speech and protecting members of the press are calling for the release of a prominent immigration reporter who was detained while covering a protest in Atlanta earlier this month and is now on track to be deported."
"Rampant climate misinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report."
"Dozens of researchers are chasing, driving and running into storms to collect fresh hail, getting their car bodies and their own bodies dented in the name of science. They hope these hailstones will reveal secrets about storms, damage and maybe the air itself."
