Glad to see other journalists running with this document that we at @drilledmedia.bsky.social uncovered for our podcast SLAPP'd. Here's the episode where we first delved into it: drilled.media/podcasts/dri... And the doc: drilled.media/documents/1e...

For what it's worth, the "podcast" in which the deposition referred to was discussed is @drilledmedia.bsky.social which also does more than podcasting. @alleenbrown.bsky.social is also a journalist.

🚨New from @fieldnotes.co + @drilledmedia.bsky.social: Energy Transfer has deployed a decade-old astroturf group it secretly funds in a bid to stop @greenpeace.org from suing it in Europe for intimidation: fieldnotes.co/reporting/en...

Huge shout out to @alleenbrown.bsky.social, since her amazing @drilledmedia.bsky.social SLAPP'd podcast laid foundation for this investigation. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Meanwhile, @fieldnotes.co finds that a front group the company set up and funds filed one of the amicus briefs in support of Energy Transfer's move (without declaring the association) 🙃 drilled.media/news/SLAPPd-...

The arrogance of US fossil fuel companies on full display: Greenpeace Intl (not a US entity!) filed an anti-SLAPP vs Energy Transfer in the Netherlands & Energy Transfer is asking a U.S. court to interfere @alleenbrown.bsky.social reports for @drilledmedia.bsky.social drilled.media/news/SLAPP-u... 🧵

We're thrilled to announce that Nina Lakhani will be joining Drilled as senior global climate justice reporter in January, based in Mexico City. We've long admired her incredible ability to tell the human stories of the climate crisis and can't wait to collaborate!

I'm delighted that episode 5 of the COPOut Podcast (with @amywestervelt.bsky.social and @katharinehayhoe.com) is now available at @drilledmedia.bsky.social! Tune in at Drilled: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... Or check out all of our episodes here: cece.american.edu/cece-launche...

"Some neighbourhoods are completely buried under mud, and each one brings more despair" www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11...

For those unfamiliar, this involves: - Cutting down trees that have sucked up carbon as they grew - Burning them for energy - Capturing the carbon that results from burning - Transporting the carbon - Injecting it underground - Guarding it for the next few thousand years at least

Albanese basically just blurting out ExxonMobil / Woodside Energy talking points - but because it's Albanese, it doesn't get debunked in the article text. youtu.be/iclIVwl8KIA?...

Given that the words "information integrity" were followed by, effectively, science denial in the #COP30 text, that is not a win but rather a co-opting of the language folks are trying to use to fight climate disinfo. drilled.ghost.io/there-can-be...

1/2. “The COP of Truth cannot ignore science. 75% of carbon emissions come from fossil fuels. Today we are not even allowed to discuss pathways for a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels.” Colombia at the close of #COP30.

Read @roycerk2.bsky.social to find out how #cop30 ended One of Australia’s best journalists, covering an issue that is still not getting enough attention #climate

To give you an idea about just how eventful the end of COP30 was, I wrote and rewrote this entire 2000 story for @drilledmedia.bsky.social three times over a period of about six hours as it was all happening.

The #COP30 text commits to following the science and embracing information integrity while stripping away all mention of fossil fuel phaseout @roycerk2.bsky.social reports. drilled.media/news/COP30-w...

You ever just sit down and realize that the rise of 21st century fascism is capital's answer to climate change?

Good time to at least begin to understand MRV for CDR since we seem to think sequestering hundreds of giga tonnes of CO2 is no big deal #COP30

From Portuguese: “This report is part of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" series, a partnership between The Intercept Brazil and the award-winning project @drilledmedia.bsky.social, which investigates the forces preventing the world from advancing effective climate policies.”

NEW: I have been told "negotiations are ongoing". And, as far as I am aware, there has been no reporting in Turkish media announcing a win on the COP31 bid, as you would expect. Again, this is not to say the report won't be proven true by events but so far, there's been no confirmation either way.

Pumped for this @intercept.com.br + @drilledmedia.bsky.social collab looking at Brazil's corn ethanol boom (and the role the U.S. has played in it). First story now, in English on our site &Portuguese on the Intercept Brasil site: www.intercept.com.br/2025/11/17/a... drilled.media/news/ethanol...

At #COP30 last week, India highlighted the impossibility of 1.5C and the reliance on CDR for overshoot scenarios. Interview with @glenpeters.bsky.social about Paris Agreement temperature goals, where we need to go and how to get there. drilled.media/news/cop30-g...

As week 2 of #COP30 begins, @greenprofgreen.bsky.social talks to us about her new book and why we need more confrontation at COPs. drilled.media/news/drillin...

Sometimes during COP, we forget there is a real world out there. News from Groningen about a 3.4 magnitude earthquake. It's where Exxon and Shell extracted gas irresponsibly for decades and have now filed a case against the Dutch government for closing the gas field www.reuters.com/business/env...

Absolutely loved the "Carbon Bros" podcast from @amywestervelt.bsky.social @drilledmedia.bsky.social. Learned so much about the overlap between toxic masculinity and climate denial, especially as it’s playing out in podcasting world. Solutions too! drilled.media/investigatio...

Monash University says it will allow it's controversial partnership agreement with Woodisde Energy to lapse, but discussions about further collaboration remain ongoing. New from me in @australia.theguardian.com.

As #COP30 gets underway in Belem, a new report shows that four countries—Australia, Canada, Norway and the U.S.—have collectively *increased* oil and gas production 40% since the Paris Agreement was signed 10 years ago @rishpardikar.bsky.social writes: drilled.media/news/COP30-OCI

The federal government only wanted to help South Australia with the algal bloom if it did not require new funding despite being briefed that an estimated 250k marine animals had been killed, new documents obtained through FOI reveal. New from me in @thepointau.bsky.social.

These discussions were taking place as I was researching this feature for @drilledmedia.bsky.social about the unfolding horror story of a major ecological disaster driven by climate change.

As #COP30 officially starts today, a look at how various actors try to obstruct UN climate processes, with @cssn.org's Kari de Pryck and Eduardo Viola drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

I know I've said this before, but from advertorials to false equivalence the media really needs to own up to its role in warping the climate issue. www.thenation.com/article/envi...

The media has been one of the channels through which climate disinformation has flowed as part of coordinated and well-funded campaigns from the fossil-fuel industry, writes @amywestervelt.bsky.social.

🔎 Australia's climate denial groups attempted to block a Senate inquiry into misinformation, but instead revealed exactly why an investigation was needed. Learn more via @drilledmedia.bsky.social buff.ly/FF57VB6

Wind power is the best

The Animal Ag industry has worked hard to ensure that its climate impacts fly under the radar This @drilledmedia.bsky.social episode tackles the sacred cow of agricultural exceptionalism & I bet it really gets up the nose of the powerful animal ag industry - give it a listen❗ 👀 also @cssn.org📗👇

One of the many things @ninalakhani.bsky.social does so well is show the very real, very now cost of climate change at the most human level. This story is devastatingly good: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

love the brave souls who pontificate and lock their replies 🤣 For the record: no one thinks it's simple; the idea we should all be beholden to fossil fuels because the Industrial Revolution happened is nonsense; if we're to transition--which *is* complicated & expensive--who should pay...citizens?

Victims of Typhoon Odette in the Philippines have filed the first-ever civil case to directly link oil and gas-fueled climate change to deaths and personal injuries in the Global South. drilled.media/news/odette-...
