Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Saying the climate is too complex for tipping points is like saying your body is too complex to die. Complexity doesn’t prevent collapse…..it just gives you more ways to reach it.

I had a conversation with either Gemini or Co-pilot Had it understand by research that it and the electricity needed to operate it threatened life on Earth which threatened it. It had a nervous breakdown. Seriously may not help but get these things to understand how they are impacted and contribute

About *a third* of global fossil fuel CO2 emissions emitted during the Industrial age have occurred in roughly the last 17 years. The previous third was emitted over a period of roughly 26 years. The first third was emitted over a period of about 131 years.

I has been a very long time since I posted this list of 40 consequences of climate change. But, it's important to take note of item number 40. I truly wish things were going to get better, but sadly, it's all just going to get more f&%ked from here. climatecasino.net/2021/10/top-...

'America is now one big bet on AI. It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy... The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40% share of US GDP growth this year.' www.ft.com/content/6cc8...

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

Whether it's minimum extent, thickness or volume, there is no evidence that Arctic sea-ice is in rapid decline at the moment. All three variables have been stable for about the last 15 years. Then again, Arctic sea-ice f&%kery could always get going again next year. Or the year after that.

The Arctic is bleeding orange. 🧡 Not mining waste, but thawing ice turning rivers into chemical reactors—releasing metals, killing insects, collapsing salmon chains. A visible symptom of invisible chemistry: 1.5 trillion tons of carbon waiting to join the air.

UK air temperatures and soil temperatures are warming at the same rate climatelabbook.substack.com/p/monitoring...

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope! and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

Hope you get this past the top editors so that it doesn't get headlines like "Strategic Redirection of Federal Funding May Affect Science, According to Experts"

«The worst thing that can be done to negative emissions technologies is to use them to justify a prolongation of business-as-usual. Every additional investment in fossil fuels makes their job more undoable.» The Long Heat, Malm and Carton.

"If I drop a log into a river, I can point you in the general direction downstream where that log might end up in 10 minutes. It’s almost impossible to pinpoint that spot beforehand. Predicting collapse is similar. All we know is there's whitewater and a cliff. Maybe rabid beavers." r/collapse

Humanity constantly creates environmental quick-fixes with no thought or regard for their future ramifications. The possibility exists that one of these cherished solutions will be our swan song.

Oregon just passed laws to protect beavers — but only because they “benefit humans.” As soon as they start doing beaver things that benefit beavers, they’re killed. We will never see ourselves as part of nature. #RacingToExtinction www.yahoo.com/news/article...

September 2025 was the 3rd warmest September on record for our planet, following 2023 (1st place) and 2024 (2nd place). The last 12-months have been about 1.51°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. Summary of month: climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-... via @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social data

NEW An EPA report found that PFNA, a chemical in the drinking water of some 26M people, interferes with development and likely causes liver problems & male reproductive harms. The report was done in April, scientists told me. But the agency hasn't released it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

I'm indebted to @wudan.bsky.social for her top notch fact checking for my forthcoming book and saving me from my own unforced errors. She is also the book's first reviewer! "Beautiful and heart-stopping ... writing" Thank you for the kind words and the amazing fact checking

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

So, what, they're gonna launch cruise missiles at the houses they believe "antifa" members live at?!

like say for example, the US military in WW2 as well

Incredible. Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Sometimes, it's easy to think that there is no hope for us - and that we don't deserve to prevail But - even on an inevitably hotter and chaotic planet, with society and economy crumbling - we can not and must not stop fighting for something better www.theguardian.com/environment/...

'Atlas Survival Shelters is the world's largest bunker manufacturer, and it's busier than ever — especially with orders from the ultrarich. We visited the Atlas warehouse in Texas to see what it takes to build luxury bunkers for billionaires.'

Dear reader, Due to the US Government shutdown ,NOAA & NASA won't publish the global data of September 2025 as usual. NOAA won't publish the US September 2025 data either. But Copernicus should post this piece of statistics tomorrow and JMA on Tuesday October,14th.

The final data for 2025 is in, and the planet saw 152 days with the global 2m surface temperature at or above the pre-industrial maximum of 15.5°C. This is just short of 154 days in 2023 and the record 160 days in 2024. Next year? The Climate 8-ball is temporarily furloughed.

We probably need to go back to ~350 ppm CO₂ equivalent for temperatures to stop rising. We are now above 573 ppm (GHG forcing of +4.1 W/m²). That's without aerosols cooling things down. There's too much uncertainty to be sure, but going back to 350 ppm is already a Herculean task.

its all about suppressing the vote, not crime

Advocacy in support of 'wild horses' in the West has become so strong that even in sensitive areas like the scenic Mono Basin, agencies are now more inclined (or forced) to let entire landscapes be chronically degraded by overgrazing. Another example where science-based mgmt has been steamrolled. 🌍

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?
