As Alaska and the Amazon burned, a camera phone captured giddy Republican leaders discussing plans to log and mine the last great coastal rain forest left on earth....
I went to Tongass and found that even a few dyed-in-the-wool conservatives think this is a horrible idea...

This is a story about neighbors.

See that house?

Years ago, a family bought it for $60,000.

See the oil refinery next door?

It is owned by a Saudi Arabian company that made $111 billion profit last year, almost twice as much as Apple.
It is called Motiva, it is the largest refinery on the continent and it is just one piece of the Escher-meets-Aliens landscape of Port Arthur, TX.

This town has been turning petrochemicals into American wealth and power for generations...but all that burning comes with a cost.
This is a Chevron emissions event in 2018, one of tens of thousands that happen in Port Arthur over the course of a lifetime.

Valero is facing lawsuits for allegedly spewing 1.8M lbs of illegal pollution and locals tell me the air takes the paint off their cars...

Spent the past couple days at the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas to take some pics and tell a rather amazing story...
Run by nonprofit nature lovers, this place is a 100 acre pocket of amazing wildlife on the banks of the Rio Grande…
It is situated in “the tip of the funnel” of butterfly migration and is the southernmost way station for Monarchs making the long flight from Mexico to backyards across the U.S. (they are still in Mexico but here's one with a funny nose)
