August 4, 2022. Salem, Massachusetts

Environmental activists from MassPowerForward, Salem Alliance for the Environment (SAFE), UU Mass Action, 350 Mass North Shore Node, Mothers Out Front, Mass Climate Action, Sierra Club, and Citizens Climate Lobby North Shore gathered on the Salem, Mass Blaney Street Wharf to urge Gov. Charlie Baker to sign the climate bill sitting on his desk. Salem is set to lead in the renewable energy revolution as an Offshore Wind port servicing Cape Cod, the Gulf of Maine, and beyond in NJ, NY, RI, and CT. Gov. Baker remains a leader in renewable energy, but the climate bill is languishing on his desk.

Pat Gozemba, Co-Chair of SAFE, pleaded with the governor, “Governor Baker, on May 18, 2022, fewer than 3 months ago, you raised our hopes right on this pier by announcing your Economic Development Bill that you submitted to the Legislature calling for $45 million for the redevelopment of the Port of Salem. We thank you for that. But that gesture means nothing if you do not NOW sign our Climate Bill H.5060, An Act Driving Clean Energy and Offshore Wind.

Midwest Generation, a subsidiary of Edison International, will retire its Fisk and Crawford coal plants, two of the oldest and dirtiest coal-fired power plants in the nation. The announcement marks an historic victory for a decade-long grassroots campaign to protect Chicago residents from the harmful impacts of coal pollution. According to agreements signed by Midwest Generation, the Clean Power Coalition, and the City of Chicago, the Fisk coal plant in Pilsen will shut down in 2012 and the Crawford coal plant in Little Village will shut down by 2014.

Texas Joe Constantine from Canada is the radio-operator onboard the Arctic Sunrise and also a keen kayaker. In a short break from maintaining the communications systems onboard his ship the Arctic Sunrise, he paddles his small kayak in the Arctic waters of Kane Basin. He negotiates his way around the debris of ice -the result of persistant calving from the middle of Humboldt glacier which is 100km long. A team of scientists are on board the Arctic Sunrise during the 1st leg of Greenpeace's 3 month long Arctic Impacts expedition, to document the effects of climate change on the Arctic environment ahead of the Copenhagen summit which will be held in December 2009.

Photo at left shows water at the Angat Watershed hitting the critical180 meters above sea level (masl) last April 13, when supply to 30,000 ha of farmland shuts off. The normal operating level of the dam is 220 masl. Photo at right shows the level reaching its historical low of 157.55 masl last Friday (July 16) despite the rains, triggering interrupted water supply in Metro Manila. This prompted water utility companies to implement a water rationing scheme to address the dwindling volume of water in the reservoir. Angat supplies 97% of Metro Manila's water supply. Greenpeace is demanding that the administration of President Noynoy Aquino take immediate steps to address the climate impacts that are now affecting the Philippines every year. ©Joseph Agcaoili /Greenpeace; and ©Gigie Cruz-Sy /Greenpeace
