Minnesota State Senator Julia Coleman (R) joined Brian to discuss the negative effect Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has had on the state and how that will expand to the rest of the country if he is in the White House. Coleman highlighted his handling of the George Floyd riots in 2020 in Minneapolis, his policy on illegal immigrants and his anti-Israel and pro-Abortion stance. “The way runs things is unacceptable and I’m fearful for America with him in the White House,” says Coleman, calling Walz a “border-line socialist” and that the Harris-Walz ticket “makes Obama look like a moderate.” When...

The city is a growing paradox. Humanity needs its many efficiencies: people living more densely and taking up less land — with easy access to decarbonized public transportation — collaborating and innovating as urbanites have always done. But as the climate warms, city dwellers suffer extreme heat more than their rural counterparts as a result of what’s known as the urban heat-island effect. All that concrete, asphalt, and brick absorbs the sun’s energy, accelerating urban temperatures well above those in the surrounding countryside.

The surprisingly simple way cities could save people from extreme heat

If Kamala Harris and her newly announced running mate Tim Walz win the race for the White House, the US could see the first-ever Native American woman serving as governor. Under the succession plan laid out by the state’s constitution, Minnesota’s Lt.

Indigenous geography could change how we relate to the Earth

The green transition will deepen entrenched socioeconomic barriers for Indigenous peoples — unless Western forms of science and ongoing settler colonialism are addressed by researchers. That’s according to a new study out this month focused on the use, and abuse, of Indigenous knowledge to solve climate change. Despite disenfranchisement, researchers added, Indigenous nations remain the best stewards of the land.

After weeks of intense media speculation and sustained pressure from Democratic lawmakers, major donors, and senior advisors, President Joe Biden has announced that he is bowing out of the presidential race. He is the first sitting president to step aside so close to Election Day. “I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus entirely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” Biden said in a letter on Sunday.

Sunday was an unprecedented day, and not just because President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race so close to the election.

This story was co-published by Energy News Network, the Maine Monitor, and Grist. Ron Huber rifled through a thick folder full of decades of state environmental records outside a community hall in the tiny coastal Maine town of Searsport. For the longtime local conservation activist, the scene inside was a familiar one: Dozens of neighbors, workers, and environmentalists mingled over pizza and coffee, discussing the merits of a proposed industrial project that has potential to transform the local economy, but at the expense of a locally beloved natural area.
