From this morning's Earlybird:

• "Taking a cue from angry protests against the Obama Administration's health care restructuring, the oil industry is helping organize anti-climate bill rallies around the nation," the Wall Street Journal reports. "The American Petroleum Institute, along with other organizations such as the National Association of Manufacturers opposed to the climate legislation Congress will consider again in the fall, is funding rallies across 20 states over the August recess."

• "Environmental groups, including one led by former Vice President Al Gore, have unveiled a broad campaign that will run through Labor Day to push the Senate to follow the House toward passing a climate-and-energy strategy this year," CongressDaily (subscription) reports. "Repower America, an initiative Gore spearheaded, and the Blue Green Alliance, a coalition of labor and environmental groups, are kicking off a series of more than 50 events in 22 states, including states with particularly high unemployment and swing-vote senators."

• "Some of the nation's biggest food and agriculture companies are planning to release a flurry of studies in coming weeks that scrutinize the potential impact of climate-change legislation, warning that it could lead to higher food prices," the Wall Street Journal reports.
