		<description><![CDATA[Will 2019 be the year that Oregon finally sees comprehensive climate action? | Oregonians have been pushing for comprehensive climate action for more than a decade. Other states and provinces in North America have forged ahead, attracting clean energy investments, creating local jobs, and cleaning up the air they breathe but Oregonians are still paying price for someone else’s pollution—hospital bills for our kids’ asthma, a faltering seafood industry, wildfires, and more. With not a moment to spare, Oregon’s elected leaders are united...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One scenario leaves 2035 carbon reduction goal out of the bill, which could add another 100M tons of pollution to the air | More than a decade ago, Oregon began putting laws on the books to limit global warming pollution. This year, the state legislature will consider a Clean Energy Jobs Bill with the aim of capping carbon emissions and growing the clean economy and job market. Climate hawks have introduced similar bills for years and without success. The text for the “Clean Energy Jobs” bill text isn&#8217;t public yet but it already...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the largest coal companies in the US is sliding but carbon fees are still finding footing in Cascadia | A report released in October by United Nations’ climate scientists was an ominous wakeup call for many. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change now predicts the Earth’s atmosphere will warm by more than 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit by 2040&#8212;a shift that could cause global environmental and humanitarian catastrophe. The news delivered a bleak message, but it also underscored that our work to create sustainable, equitable communities and a healthy environment here...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But corporate researchers-for-hire cook the books to put the public off of climate action. | As I wrote about a few weeks ago, corporations have a long and storied history of “crying wolf” when people try to protect themselves from industrial pollution or safety hazards. Business interests also have a history of paying consultants to produce studies that “prove” the wolf is really there. For example, in 2017, Oregon Business &amp; Industries (OBI) paid consultants to run a few models to conclude that climate action...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s simple, secure, and efficient—but polluters don’t want you to think so. | So we’ve debunked the myths that a polluters-pay program to curb carbon pollution would hurt Oregon’s economy and, in particular, Oregon’s rural residents. Neither of those claims is true; they’re the tired, unfounded bunk we’ve heard over and over from the well-funded special interest actors working hard to block the climate action that Oregonians want—specifically, the opportunity the state had in the Clean Energy Jobs Bill. Another myth you’ll hear...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Debunking fossil fuel industry claims (again)—Part 2. | In my last article, I described how making polluters pay for their pollution, contrary to fossil fuel industry whining and myth-telling, in fact would help Oregon’s economy—just as it has helped the economies of other states, provinces, and regions that have demanded that polluting industries do their part to act on climate. A common comeback I hear goes something like, “Sure, it may help urban dwellers and economies, but it...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Debunking fossil fuel industry claims (again)—Part 1. | This is an exciting moment for Cascadia, a time when BC has doubled down on its carbon pollution tax, when Oregon and Washington have promising bills moving through legislature, and when state leaders are acting on the clearly expressed climate action wishes of their constituents. It is also an urgent moment, as climate impacts take heavier tolls on our communities every year, from more destructive wildfires to damaged shellfish harvests, from...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Industry is crying wolf. Again. | Soccer players are notorious for dramatizing injuries, writhing on the ground in apparent agony, appealing to the referee to punish the other team for inflicting such pain. Once the ref makes the call, they jump up and run back on the field. Industry players do the same thing every time the public tries to put in place protections against pollution. They wring their hands and wail, telling legislators that the...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Et tu, PGE? Five ways Portland's hometown utility is betraying Oregon’s Clean Energy Jobs Bill. | After long years of negotiation, Oregon could be ready to make polluters pay and invest the revenue in the state. But as the legislature convenes for a whirlwind one-month session, a surprising opponent is appearing on stage: Portland General Electric (PGE). PGE, the electric utility serving customers from Portland to Salem, likes to tell people it favors clean energy, but when faced with real climate policy opportunities the company looks...]]></description>
