We thank Neha Pathak, MD, FACP, DipABLM, Board Member of Georgia Clinicians for Climate Action, for delivering our Keynote remarks at ANHE's "Investing in Health" symposium at Emory Conference Center on June 4th. Dr. Pathak covered the importance of a planetary health approach to health and reviewed the current state of environmental and climate health in Georgia.

The fight against a corroded, failed oil pipeline

The fight against a corroded, failed oil pipeline is heating up in California, as Sable Offshore Corp. — a Texas-based oil company emboldened by Trump’s “drill baby drill agenda” — is pushing to restart the pipeline and offshore drilling unit behind one of the worst oil spills in state history. Despite immense public opposition, a record-high $18 million dollar fine from the California Coastal Commission, endless legal challenges, and now two court orders halting work on the project, Sable shows no sign of relenting in their reckless plan to turn a profit at our expense.

Through it all, Gov. Newsom has remained silent. Where is he?

Californians deserve a leader who will stand up to Trump’s rollbacks, defend our values, and hold firm on the progress we’ve made to move beyond oil.

But while a Texas-based oil company runs roughshod over state agencies in pursuit of Trump’s “drill baby drill agenda”, Newsom is nowhere to be seen.

📞 Call Governor Newsom: 610-616-2713 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.)

Summer may be just getting started, but #ExtremeWeatherSZN is year-round. Climate pollution is making severe weather more frequent, intense and dangerous, and without critical climate protections, our communities will suffer.

🚨 Rolling back fuel efficiency standards puts lives at risk.

On June 6, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s NHTSA finalized a rule without public input to “Reset” the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Program.

📉 Weakening these standards threatens hard-won progress in reducing dangerous air pollution—putting children, older adults, and medically vulnerable groups especially at risk.
