Hi there,

Today is the first of two Public Media Giving Days, a time to celebrate what public and independent media gives to you by giving back. If you think Democracy Now!’s reporting is a critical line of defense against war, climate catastrophe and authoritarianism, please make your donation of $10 or more right now. In honor of Public Media Giving Days, a generous donor will TRIPLE your donation, which means it’ll go 3x as far to support our independent journalism. Democracy Now! is funded by you, and that’s why we’re counting on your donation to keep us going strong. Please give today. Every dollar makes a difference—in fact, gets tripled! Thank you so much.

U.S. Helps Block Progress at German Climate Summit as Europe Sizzles in Record Heat

HeadlineJun 28, 2019

Environmental groups are accusing the United States, Saudi Arabia and Iran of blocking progress at a key international climate summit to discuss how to implement the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord. The summit was held in Bonn, Germany, in the midst of record heat waves being recorded across Europe. France has issued its first-ever “red” weather alert as temperatures are predicted to reach as high as 113 degrees Fahrenheit today. In parts of Spain, the temperature is expected to top 109 degrees Fahrenheit as Catalonia is battling its largest wildfire in decades. Authorities believe the fire began when a heap of manure self-ignited in the high heat.
