The YEARS Project

We are the storytellers of the climate crisis, sharing what’s real, what’s urgent, and what’s possible.
Heat isn’t just unpleasant, it’s deadly. Extreme heat is worse than all other natural disasters combined and it’s nearly impossible to hide from. What do we do when extreme heat becomes the norm? #ThisIsClimateChange
What’s worse than a “red flag” warning? As wildfires continue to rip through Spokane, WA, even finding words to define the extent of the damage is proving difficult. #ThisIsClimateChange
65,000 people were evacuated from Spokane, WA as wildfires rip through the county. Firefighters are battling the flames, but high heat, strong winds and dry vegetation are making containment difficult. Over 2.6 million acres burned as the region suffers through its worst wildfire season in 30 years.
Wildfires happen all the time now. Does it feel like you're stuck on repeat? There's a reason. #ThisIsClimateChange
Think you can hide from climate change? Think again. #ThisIsClimateChange
What if it's always this hot? It may seem like a disaster movie, but we’re reaching that point faster than you think. Watch this video to see where these events can strike and who is most at risk. #ThisIsClimateChange
Thousands of wildfires spread across Europe with more than 320,000 people evacuated. France and Spain have been hit the hardest with hundreds of thousands of acres destroyed. Extreme rain followed by extreme heat created an enormous amount of dry brush to fuel these fires. #ThisIsClimateChange
Dozens of counties and tens of thousands of people in Texas are fleeing massive rainfall and flash floods just over a year after a similar storm killed 130. Is this normal? No, it's not. #ThisIsClimateChange
The wildfires out West are anything but natural. And fossil fuel pollution is to blame. #UnnaturalDisasters
Is your thermometer lying to you? The temperature outside may be much hotter than you think. When heat and humidity combine, they create a new temperature that not only feels suffocating, but can be deadly too.
A lack of snowpack, high temperatures and high winds have created a “perfect storm” for fire in the Rockies. Find out who's impacted, and why. #UnnaturalDisasters
The fastest-warming continent on earth just got a taste of the future, and it's not pretty. See the very real impacts of this #UnnaturalDisaster.
Rainfall is becoming more destructive than ever, but not for the reasons you think. It’s not the amount of rain, but how fast it’s falling. It’s called “rainfall intensification” and it’s happening in every state. #ThisIsClimateChange
France, Spain and Italy are experiencing record-high temperatures and under heat emergencies. Some predict this heat wave to be worse in severity than one that hit the region in 2003 and resulted in 70,000 deaths. #ThisIsClimateChange
All across the country, we’re seeing devastating downpours like never before. Is it by accident? No, it’s because of climate change. #ThisIsClimateChange
During the World Cup this summer, a quarter of all matches will be too dangerous to play.
Hail storms have been out of control. Giant hail storms have ripped through the U.S. Midwest and Western Europe, causing billions of dollars in damages. Studies show that as the planet warms, storms become more intense and hail becomes far larger and far more destructive. #ThisIsClimateChange
The science tells us our climate can’t afford a single new fossil fuel project – yet big banks committed over $508 BILLION to fossil fuel expansion in 2025, jumping 27% in 1 year. We demand these banks #DefundClimateChaos now. Learn more: bankingonclimatechaos.org. #BankingOnClimateChaos
It's not just fires, floods, heat and hurricanes that are becoming more extreme in the age of climate change. Get ready for giant hail. #ThisIsClimateChange
It's getting hotter outside but just how hot? Too hot to do even the bare minimum of activity, the stuff we need to do day-to-day. Where's this all leading to? #ThisIsClimateChange
Why are we being forced to pay for grid updates for data centers when we have more than enough power available already? Here's what they don’t want you to know.
The West relies on mountain snowpack for its water supply. But this year, there's hardly any, and the problems are starting to mount. #ThisIsClimateChange
The bromance between Big Tech and Big Oil is only heating up and it's causing climate goals to be thrown to the wayside.
Atlanta was just hit with major flash flooding, but the damage will be anything but brief. With much of the city underwater, recovery could take weeks. Climate change is making flash flooding events more powerful and longer lasting than ever before. #ThisIsClimateChange
Microsoft once had a goal to be carbon negative by 2030. Is their new data center walking away from that promise?
What happens when an El Niño event is supercharged by climate change? We’re about to find out … #ThisIsClimateChange
The war on Iran is wreaking havoc not only on the world's oil and gas prices, but also the price of food. And today's crisis is leading to a far bigger one in the months ahead.
The war on Iran is unleashing more pollution than you might imagine, making the climate crisis even worse than it is. #thisisclimatechange
Can you imagine the pollution created by a million cars running for an entire year? That’s how much pollution the war on Iran produced in just the first two weeks. #ThisIsClimateChange
When the planet warms, shrubs take advantage. Here's why that's a problem. #ThisIsClimateChange
