I will write more about this later, for now just to say our paper has been published today. 10 years after Paris Agreement we can conclusively say we have failed to limit warming to well below 2°C. What next? www.cell.com/one-earth/ab...

A new meditation app that embraces climate breakdown. Breathe in profit. Breathe out responsibility. If you’ve ever had problems with anxiety from being a fossil fuel executive, this is the app for you. Brought to you by @olifro.st

"The Grift Bubble: A Political Theory of American Collapse" "Those who work against the grifters... may be acting from love, or from law, because they know that these things are real. And so they should also know, in acting thus, that they are the patriots." snyder.substack.com/p/the-grift-...

Falk, who has investigated Israeli abuses, says questioning reflects push to silence truth of Israel's war on Gaza.

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement. It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it. www.wisn.com/article/meta...

Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action. “It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

The problem with the climate regime in one article: With fewer people attending COP30 "one in every 25 participants at this year’s UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist." It is "the largest concentration of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP" and up 12% from COP29 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

NPR reported this morning that, based on their review of the #Epstein emails released yesterday, Trump’s name appeared more than 1,000 times in the document— "I have met some very bad people, none as bad as #Trump. Not one decent cell in his body." - Jeffrey Epstein

It's astounding how much CO₂ we put into the atmosphere each year by burning fossil fuels. For comparison, we all agree that plastic pollution is bad, but the mass of ALL THE PLASTIC humanity has ever produced is only 25% of the CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere in 2025.

1) Fossil fuel Still no peak. Emissions are projected to increase by 1.1% in 2025, reaching 38.1 GtCO2. An all time high.

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world? Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

In these dark times we must take joy wherever we find it, and I delight in every picture of how hideous Trump has made his White House look. No part of the decoration has been made to fit with any other. It’s a parody of elitism: witless, crude, clumsy, jarring, cheap, ugly, pathetic. It’s so him

Your 'moment of doom' for Nov. 4, 2025 ~ Fast times! "Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula, a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded glacier..." abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

Still can't wrap my head around the fact that internationally renowned activist Greta Thunberg said she was tortured and sexually humiliated by Israeli soldiers when she was abducted for trying to bring aid to starving civilians and the world just shrugged and moved on.

'[t]he present-day fetishism of numbers in higher education is neither rational nor practical. Neither does it ensure fairness and accuracy. Instead, it stems from and fosters delusion, deception, inequity and irrationality, vanity and greed' (F. Wood) www.prometheusjournal.co.uk/prometheus/t...

The Teals aren't the solution. They're LNP with a shred more social/ environmental conscience. Take seats from hardline LNP, sure. Actual evidence-based policy not informed by neoliberal/ free market ideology... no. Given how neoliberalism slowly alides us to fascism, they're not a solution

"We’re shell-shocked not only by the brutality of what we’ve seen, but by the refusal of our elected officials to do something — anything — meaningful to try to stop it." #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

I better understand the Reign of Terror now.

They do seem to have gotten over their dislike and hatred of masks though.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

Federal immigration officers are using chemical irritants to disperse protesters in ways that violate American policing norms and test the boundaries of use-of-force laws, video footage from Chicago shows.

Take out the data centre, and use the electricity to heat three hospitals instead Greedy industries offer scraps of their own waste to underfunded and undervalued public services all the time, as a way of greenwashing their public image. You don't have to accept it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

“Modern right-wing rhetoric is essentially the same as Hitler’s 1925 rhetoric” @alonso-gd.bsky.social writes about fascist takeover of the global right and how it’s basically just a rebranding of Hitler’s ‘superior race’ argument. zeteo.com/p/the-right-...

And the stupidity continues as Australian conservatives double-down on climate denial: "‘Heat deaths aren’t a thing’: Coalition MPs weighing net zero given sceptical briefing on climate science": www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

"People in Gaza have been burying the bodies of dozens of Palestinians released by Israel.. many.. show signs of torture & mutilation" If these were Israeli bodies the story would have dominated the headlines for days & Starmer would have condemned Hamas's murderous brutality

Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned. 🔗👉 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

Here's a crazy idea, Minister Watt, ignore the ecocidal and climate change denying LNP, and work with scientific experts and the Greens to get the stronger environment laws our precious places and wildlife need! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10... You don't have control of the senate, so stop posturing.

Watched "A House of Dynamite" last night and found myself revisiting my 1980s nuclear war nightmares all over again! What made it worse was knowing that the seemingly competent people portrayed in the movie are a LONG way from the fools and lunatics currently running the US asylum!

16/ As we have shown in our paper, in many disciplines the #climate crisis still only receives marginal attention. With fewer than 1% of papers in top tier journals written on the topic There's a massive disconnect between what universities say about climate & mainstream focus of academic research

I was recently invited to present my thoughts on the role of universities in the #climate crisis Several audience members asked that I share my slides, so I've decided to post them here too as an open resource I'd love any feedback, & for you to share examples of projects & best practice. Long 🧵😊

Trump's 'Peace': "Lynch Mobs, Arson, Slaughter of Herds: West Bank Faces Unprecedented Israeli Violence" www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Here's the paper its referring to... "We can continue to research corporations and strive to identify better ways to maximize profitability, irrespective of social and environmental costs, or we can develop scholarship fit for the inevitable consequences of a climate-changed future"

A video from the Academy of Management on Daniel Nyberg & @chriswrightau.bsky.social's work: "Between 2007 & 2018, the world's top 4 management research journals published just 7 research articles that addressed the topics of #climate change or global warming in their titles, keywords or abstracts"

As the ceasefire in Gaza comes into action, today's Empire episode goes back to the 1920s when the British occupied the region. The Black and Tans, fresh from the Irish War of Independence, arrive in Mandate Palestine to violently impose imperial order, & tensions are rising...

[email protected] and @anitaanand.bsky.social are joined by Harvard Professor Caroline Elkins to discuss the British occupation of Palestine, and one of the pivotal historical dominoes in the road to where we are today.

This ⬇️is so good: clear, thorough history with the excellent Eugene Rogan on board as the episode's guide.
