President Trump’s EPA wants to nullify states’ ability to set their own standards on tailpipe pollution—an action that would impact not only California but all other states working to address global warming. How can our work make a difference when the federal government is trying to roll back progress that even Ronald Reagan defended decades ago, and that many automakers now want to keep on the books?

This Saturday, September 8, is a day for us to bring our collective power to the forefront.

In Oregon and Washington, we still have a clean power plan.

Oregon's clean fuels standard and numerous communities' commitments to 100% clean energy show that our region is gaining momentum for climate action.

In our first 20 years, Climate Solutions helped resolve much uncertainty about the facts of climate change, and the prospects for solutions. There's every reason for hope; the fateful question now is whether we will act, and whether we’ll do it fast enough.

One of our co-founders recalls the Montana roots of his environmental advocacy, and notes that Climate Solutions' early strategy of bringing people together across differences to talk solutions remains a key to solving the climate crisis.

This holiday, try to talk climate with your concerned cousin in the kitchen.

Our annual dinner with Kate Gordon in Portland this week laid the groundwork for a season of effective climate action in Oregon and Washington. 

Of course, none of us think of ourselves as climate deniers. But something makes us flinch from bad news, hard conversations, and uncomfortable conclusions.
