’Undermining that confidence by dismissing UN climate conferences as pointless risks slowing this progress. Cop critics like to think of themselves as brave tellers of truth to power. They may end up merely being Donald Trump’s unwitting accomplices.’ theconversation.com/the-un-clima...

📢Announcing the #COPOut Podcast (our first episode goes live on Sunday)!! Here's info about how to listen and why I'm doing this podcast instead of wasting all that carbon to travel to COP30: danarfisher.com/2025/11/08/i...

The last episode of @dickon.bsky.social's podcast about Norway's relationship with oil, The Black Thread, is out now :) Hosted at @amywestervelt.bsky.social's @drilledmedia.bsky.social - here's a KetanClip 🍾 pocketcasts.com/podcast/dril... communicatingclimatechange.com/the-black-th...

The Swedish King stepping in it today in Brazil by suggesting that the multilateral climate change process is likely to fail and that Europe does not have any responsibility to pay for climate change impacts on the Global South. He is wrong and should be prevented from making such statements.

Mmmhmmm, inte bara jag tyckte att det här var pinsamt och dumt.

I got a 7/7 for interpreting cat behavior ^_^ theconversation.com/do-you-speak...

This paper is a reminder that we all need to set boundaries as academics, however more importantly, we need to normalise a system that does not penalise people for not working until they burn out. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Really worth looking out for this film.

We need to be worried about this. 1st some countries (Saudi Arabia) refused to welcome the 1.5 report, now they (and others) are flat out refusing to set a date for when the AR7 can be approved. Heads in the sand sort of decision-making on climate change is not just foolish it is evil necropolitics.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

OK it's a failure but we can't stop there - the work continues. Don't give up hope.

Staffan Herrström, f d överdirektör på Sida, och Torbjörn Pettersson, f d avdelningschef på Sida, skärskådar och kritiserar det s k paradigmskiftet inom den svenska biståndspolitiken i Dagens Arena: ”Dagens politik präglas av ett kortsiktigt egenintresse." www.dagensarena.se/opinion/bist...

Nej, Kungen, fel. Europa har visst ett ansvar att betala för fattigare länder när det gäller klimatfrågan.

On Bill Gates & #climate I recall @kevinclimate.bsky.social talking about Gates remarks on carbon capture & storage 2yrs ago: "Bill Gates doesn't think [that CCS] can help us address climate change... it's to help him feel that he's not the bad person he actually is." www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkth...

I'm so excited to be kicking off the COPOut Podcast! Details are below. Tune in to hear conversations with @laurengifford.bsky.social @katharinehayhoe.com @davidho.bsky.social @magnoliae.bsky.social @pammcelwee.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social and more! cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

This is a very handy guide to different negotiating positions at COP30 by @carbonbrief.org - www.carbonbrief.org/interactive-...

Crikey what a headline. Is this supposed to be helpful? 'World leaders gather for COP30 as UN says 'virtually impossible' to achieve 1.5C climate limit' www.bbc.com/news/live/cw...

If MAMILs are middle-age men in lycra (cyclists on the weekend, I know, I am married to one), what is the name for those middle-age men on BlueSky who only follow women, especially professional women? 🤮

This letter on adaptation at COP30 is coming strong on climate justice, mentioning Mbembe's necropolitics, how wealthy are able to protect themselves & 'inaction on adaptation cascades into instability'...but it must be read by the wider community and not just COP-goers. cop30.br/en/brazilian...

Good point here.

'Climate finance is determined by the needs of the investors instead of the people affected by the emergency.' Well, who could have guessed that climate finance was not going to be used in a fair way? ✋ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’m feeling worried about the future of the planet so I am sharing a picture of my chunky deaf one-eyed rescue cat from Greece.

For those on the left who are not socialists, or who do not ally with socialist parties, I don't really understand: what exactly is the project? What is the plan?

OK - I was clearly thinking about poverty, but I meant 'pour' not 'poor'...eherm

Wow this is good on inequality, especially at minute 5.30 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEnf...

I have now read so many analyses about Bill Gates' climate memo. Yes, we can hate him because he is too rich and seems arrogant, and dislike his memo because he is suggesting that climate change take a back seat on the agenda. But I think the real reason why we should be really angry is...

Not loving the messages here. 'Though climate change will have serious consequences—particularly for people in the poorest countries—it will not lead to humanity’s demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.' www.gatesnotes.com/home/home-pa...

As the world’s fastest-warming region, Asia has no time to wait. At #AF2025 in Christchurch, scientists and leaders spotlighted how local knowledge, innovation, and cross-border cooperation are reshaping the region’s response to climate change. www.asiamediacentre.org.nz/af2025-asia-...

Super excited to spend today and tomorrow getting to know @welthungerhilfe.bsky.social as a new member of their Advisory Committee (although I also had to sneak out and teach for two hours…students first 😌).

This is actually a bit critical

This is not exactly good news and will mean higher sea-level rise.

Tråd om Sverigekontrakt. Jag är inne på andra veckan av en intensiv Europaresa med två andra män. Vi är födda i Bagdad, Damaskus och Sarajevo. Samma resrutt som uppemot en miljon människor tog för tio år sedan, genom städer och länder, lika symboltyngda som våra födelseplatser,

Fascinating on trends in open access/publishing of academic articles. And also: '...the future of research was always going to be dominated by China; recent events in the USA have simply helped to tip the balance of scientific power towards China, faster.' newsletter.journalology.com/p/the-rise-o...

David Alcer jobbar på Lunds universitet, och är klimataktivist. Nu har gränspolisen upprepade gånger frihetsberövat honom – utan brottsmisstanke – och hotat med utvisning. – Jag trodde inte att det kunde gå till så här i en demokrati, säger han. (1/2) www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/B0...

Social movements play an essential role pushing for action on climate and nature, and it’s now widely recognised that support from scientists can make them more effective But not everyone can take to the streets or risk arrest That’s ok – there’s lots we can do in other ways 🧵1/

New Book - Climate Obstruction: A global Assessment #Climate

📢 Episode 4 is out now! Last year, Spain was hit by one of the worst disasters in its history It was driven by climate change But it ended up boosting climate deniers... How can the world stop this from happening again? Listen now: overshootpod.com

Highly recommend this episode. #ClimateCrisis

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

This conversation is frightening but necessary.

I have been letting the closing of @adaptationfutures.bsky.social simmer in my mind for the last day. What did we learn - what do we know about adaptation and what are the big questions? A brief thread to summarise what jumped out at me. 🧵 1/4

These images are tough to see. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

We use the Troop tool to identify the most efficient place for our global group of 500+ scientists to meet once every four years. It looked at carbon, visas, direct flights, etc. Mexico was the clear winner and everyone had a great time!
