Climate Defiance Doc 'Just Look Up' Enlists Adam McKay, Billie Eilish The Climate Defiance doc 'Just Look Up,' premiering at CPH:DOX, is boosted by E.P. Adam McKay and songs by Billie Elish, Chappell Roan, and Doechii.

β€œIn the end, this isn’t simply a film about protest. It is about the stubborn human impulse to fight for a livable future. It is also about the odd mix of defiance, humor, and sheer determination it takes to do it.”

This is the biggest oil disruption in history | CNN Business A historic disruption to the world’s oil production sent crude prices smashing through the $100 barrier Monday for the first time in nearly four years.

Meanwhile, the price remains unchanged of the 173,000 terawatts of the sun's energy (10,000 times more than humans use) that is continuously striking Earth at every moment.

Even though this is from the US, I want to stress the importance of why corporate concentration of media is brutal for climate coverage. Public broadcasting, along with community media provides the best bet to educate the masses. We need to invest in those more then ever.

The climate crisis is worse than ever

Climate coverage gets good ratings

So how do our Objective Journalists justify covering it less?

Aren't you glad Big Oil and corrupt politicians kept us on this hamster wheel for the last 50 years instead of transitioning to VASTLY more plentiful solar energy, available literally everywhere on Earth, and which we've been able to harness since the the solar panel was invented in 1884?

How broadcast TV networks covered climate change in 2025 Corporate broadcast networks again reduced climate coverage in 2025, marking the third year coverage has declined since the networks' high-water mark of 23 hours of reporting in 2022. A Media Matters ...

In 2025, broadcast TV climate coverage plummeted for the 3rd year in a row.

2022: 23 hours
2023: 17 hours - πŸ“‰25%
2024: 12 hours, 51 minutes - πŸ“‰25%
2025: 8 hours, 25 minutes - πŸ“‰35%

But hey, it's not like 2023, 2024, & 2025 were the 3 hottest years in recorded history by a lot. Nothing to see here!

1. Demand that candidates & electeds:
-Pledge at nofossilfuelmoney.org
-End oil and gas exports.
-End the $35B /yr in subsidies to Big Oil.
-Overturn Citizens United and get corporate & dark money out of politics.
-Make fossil fuel and petrochemical companies pay the cost of their pollution.
-Commit to a rapid phase out of oil, gas, and coal. Yes, to end this lethal industry.

2. Prepare to shut sh*t down if they refuse!

With so little time to put warming in check before collapse-level impacts set it, leaders who say they support climate action on one hand while actively encouraging the oil and gas industry with the other, are no better than those who sabotage the EPA outright.

Here are two things you can do:

The Price of Corporate America’s Carbon Emissions: $87 Trillion The long-term societal cost of greenhouse gas emissions exceeds the total market value of the corporate sector.

The fossil fuel industry is a scam destroying vastly more wealth for many than it generates for a select few. Until our leaders truly recognize this, and act like it, we're cooked.

And the fossil fuel industry is spending more money than ever to own our leaders and block pollution limits:

Nearly half a billion dollars in the last election cycle: $239M to elect pro-polluter candidates, and $245M lobbying congress against climate policy.
