This is what climate change looks like.

Stay cool. Stay safe. End climate pollution.

From @TheAthletic: Jannik Sinner's defeat at the French Open was the latest incident of players being affected by heat at the tournament. As tennis matches grow longer, the sport's relationship with heat will grow more concerning. https://t.co/RdG1u1zew3

Today is International Day for Biological Diversity. 🌍
Biodiversity isn’t just disappearing, it’s fading in silence. Forests are thinning, oceans are warming, and species are vanishing before we even learn their names.

When nature suffers, humanity suffers with it. The future of life depends on what we protect today.

Every community deserves drinkable water.

This. Is. Horrifying.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) questioned the EPA's Jessica Kramer on data centers' effects on clean drinking water.

Majorities of Americans now oppose construction of data centers in their communities, a survey found. https://t.co/I7zBGErqlP

Soccer is something people grow up with, love, and live for. It is hard to ignore what rising heat could mean for its future, and ours.

Over 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and now researchers are finding that airborne microplastics may also be contributing to atmospheric warming.

Plastic pollution has always been a climate issue, so why are we still treating it like a separate conversation?

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

A new study found that microplastics in the atmosphere are likely absorbing more heat than they are reflecting.

The effect of one year’s microplastic emissions globally is approximately equivalent to 200 coal-fired power plants, a researcher estimated. https://t.co/T6Zlpiqpzc

May the 4th be with you.✨

Energy prices shouldn’t rise and fall with global conflict. Fossil fuels keep us stuck in that cycle. Clean energy helps us move forward with more stability and less harm. It’s time to move away from the dark side.

Dolphins moving through heavy surf off the coast of Wales.

Often riding waves and leaping out of the water, Dolphins sometimes reach 15 to 20 feet. It can help them move with less effort, keep contact with each other, remove unwanted parasites, and it also seems to be a form of play. In rough seas like this, the waves become part of how they travel.

We’d love to see your wildlife moments! Tag @CLEOInstitute and use our hashtag #CLEOInTheWild to be featured 🩵

Communities on the frontlines of climate impacts can’t afford these cuts amid intensifying weather events and rising costs. We must act: https://t.co/JcNiqaS5Hy

In Florida, predominantly Black and brown communities face hotter temperatures, rising seas and more damaging storms. The Trump administration’s environmental cuts leave them more vulnerable.

Florida’s proposed hyperscale AI data center raises water concerns.

A 1,300+ acre project planned for Fort Meade could use up to 50,000 gallons of water per day, but new rules mean that request now needs full board approval, not just a permit sign-off.

As data centers expand into Florida’s rural communities, questions are growing around water use, transparency, and pressure on an already strained aquifer.

Who gets the final say, and what does it mean for Florida’s water future?

In the words of Jane Goodall: “Don’t lose hope… if you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing.”

We’re part of the natural world, and even in dark times, there’s still something worth fighting for.

Choose action over apathy. Hope over fear.
