If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate. So imagine my nerd delight to get my hands on an incredible new batch of research on climate obstruction. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

So proud of this collaboration led by @cssn.org 110 top experts from around the world 13 chapters on who is blocking or slowing action on climate change A quantum leap in our understanding of why society has failed to solve this Will be free online Oct 14 1/x global.oup.com/academic/pro...

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Huh, so I guess they haven't all fled the state

I am privileged to announce the publication of the Anti-Autocracy Handbook: sks.to/autocracy 1/12

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

I'm really happy to have been a part of this, with @marydwillis.bsky.social @naomioreskes.bsky.social and a whole bunch of other people that aren't on here yet (sorry if you are and I can't find you!) academic.oup.com/oocc/article...

Coal-funded agitators harass the professors who craft legal theories that help sue fossil-fuel companies over climate damage; “This is a tactic designed to dissuade people from working on important climate policies.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/c...

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are deep in a war on activism and political speech www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/c...

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

🔴 NEW 🔴 The Heritage Foundation, the group behind the radical pro-Trump Project 2025 agenda, held a private discussion this week about how to dismantle the EU. 📝 @desmog.bsky.social report 👇🏻

This is just one example of how the fossil fuel industry helps fund policing. We wrote about this in 2020: littlesis.org/news/fossil-... @ninalakhani.bsky.social at @theguardian.com did some great reporting on this: t.co/7PPPnYIbBy

Not to make everything about fossil fuels, but plastics are literally✨fossil fuels ✨

🚨🚨 New Paper🚨🚨 As promised yesterday, here is a draft (non-cite) version of my new paper, 'Digitizing the Fisc', onthe constitutional implication of Trump's BFS-DOGE takeover. rohangrey.net/files/Grey-D... law review editors please email [email protected]. It's late but worth the wait!

"This suggests that integrating certain carbon-centric policies into a wider program of social, economic, and democratic reforms would achieve decarbonization more effectively than carbon-centric policies alone" - @drnoelhealy.bsky.social & @fergusgreen.bsky.social

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

This is — literally — unheard of in federal prosecutions. We can’t prosecute him because he’s a candidate for office? Wow.

BREAKING: 2 federal employee unions, AFGE & SEIU, file suit seeking to block DOGE access to Treasury Department payment database. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's impossible to overstate how bad this is. Read this thread. Musk could break our government in catastrophic ways.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

The decades of attacking science and spreading misinformation by the oil industry certainly paved the way for the current situation. They must be proud.

🚨BREAKING: Months before tonight's fatal DC plane crash, lawmakers brushed off dire safety warnings & passed an industry-backed bill adding more flight traffic at the airport. "Increasing slots at this airport undermines safety," an opponent pleaded.

🚨MUST READ: How Trump's Greenland takeover would clear the way for his donors' AI-powered mining company, proposed "crypto city" & oil drilling just banned by the local government. Wild follow-the-money reporting about Zuckerberg, Bezos, Andreesen & Thiel that finally sheds light on Trump's motive.

For @rollingstone.com, the great @rishpardikar.bsky.social and I tag-teamed a story on the Biden DOE's long-awaited LNG study, what it means for Trump's plan to further expand US exports, and why tf the US gov gets to say whether a terminal is built in Mexico. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

fossil fuels & climate change are the leading preventable cause of death worldwide.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

🎺 People of Bluesky! 🎺 I’ve made a cut-out-and-keep guide to Donald Trump’s political allies in the UK … and their ties to big money 💵 and climate denial 🏭 🌎 It has an interactive map 👀 👇 www.desmog.com/2025/01/21/m... @desmog.bsky.social

Yesterday we watched in horror as Elon Musk — who has a history of promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories and making racist remarks — repeatedly made Nazi salutes at a rally celebrating Donald Trump. Especially for those of us whose ancestors faced persecution & murder by Nazis, it was chilling.

An analysis of tweets from three major U.S. sectors shows coordinated messaging to reinforce fossil-fuel reliance by denying the science and delaying change. @alainakinol.bsky.social Y. Si, J.Kinol, & @jenniecstephens.bsky.social propose a discourse of climate obstruction framework: bit.ly/4gcA1iW

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

Big Oil knew and lied about the dangers of fossil fuels; that fact doesn't change based on who is in the White House. Courts throughout the country have affirmed the rights of communities to put fossil fuel giants on trial and make them face the evidence of their climate lies.

"According to Brown University's @climatedevlab.bsky.social, many of New Jersey's anti-offshore wind groups are affiliated with the Caesar Rodney Institute, a Delaware-based libertarian think tank that is aligned with fossil fuel advocates," Asbury Park Press reports. www.app.com/story/news/l...

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.

Los Angeles is on fire and big oil are the arsonists. Every barrel of oil, every cubic meter of gas, and every ton of coal burned brings us closer to environmental catastrophe. by @tzeporah.bsky.social #LAFire #EnergySky #GreenSky #ClimateSky www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hi, BlueSky! Delighted to📣 Decolonizing Environmentalism (bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social) is hitting the virtual book-shelf later this month & the bookstores in the new year.
