Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Report: Global Warming Much Worse Than Thought

HeadlineJan 27, 2005

A major new study on climate change is warning that global warming might be twice as catastrophic as previously thought. This is according to a new study published today in the journal Nature. The study found the Earth’s climate is far more sensitive to increases in man-made greenhouse gases than previously realized. Meanwhile at the World Economic Forum in Davos, British Prime Minister Tony Blair called on the US to tackle global warming. And the Guardian of London reports that lobby groups funded by the US oil industry are targeting Britain in a bid to play down the threat of climate change and derail government action to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
