Every 1C of global warming on average cuts the world’s ability to produce food by 120 calories per person per day, or 4.4% of current daily consumption, a new study finds - and the US Midwest will be among the hardest-hit impactlab.org/research/imp...

We're starving children, not paying air-traffic controllers and telling soldiers to go to food banks, but sure, let's write some checks to the plagiarism-industrial complex

Was just reminded that fossil fuel energy production wastes $4.6 trillion, or 40% of global energy spending, *every year* But somehow it's the clean-energy transition that's supposedly too expensive rmi.org/the-incredib...

I'm not sure we're freaked out enough that the guy using AI to make ICE more efficiently terrible is proudly saying things like, "It was a mistake to casually proclaim the equality of all cultures and cultural values" Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

A few days after the presidential election one year ago, we went to Fordham Road in the Bronx. It was a little different last week.

This is the way

Strange to not be wracked with existential dread for a night. Could get used to this

Hashmi said she first became motivated to run for office “by Trump’s travel ban on seven majority-Muslim nations. She said she wanted to prove that she and other members of her faith belong in the United States, despite the message sent by the administration’s policy.” 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

BREAKING: Democrat Ghazala Hashmi elected Lt. Gov of Virginia, making her the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office anywhere in America.

Despite a pretty mid campaign, Sherrill was able to overcome New Jersey’s natural tendency to swing back and forth between parties and maybe even outpace both Phil Murphy and Kamala Harris in the process

I'm still available to lead the Butlerian Jihad, but maybe it won't be necessary

My point is that it doesn't have to be that way. We are nowhere near maxing out investment in & implementation of sol'ns that benefit people, health, climate and nature at the same time. This is what we should be prioritizing, sol'ns with the greatest number of wins for people + the planet together.

As I wrote in May, it was an act of blatant self-harm for the EPA to try end the Energy Star program. Apparently enough people agreed that Energy Star will live after all. Good news. (Gift links to both my column and the NYT) www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/c...

Domestic terrorism perpetrated by our own government against us

It was a real privilege to sit down for this podcast by the students of Hunter College High School, who asked tough questions and gave my withered, cynical heart some hope for the future

A typical trader’s desk has a Bloomberg Terminal on it. There are about 355,000 terminals, rented for $24k each, with much of the global economy running through them. Also with @markgongloff.bsky.social's blunt climate columns, which makes for vibrant reader mail. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

Bari Weiss just fired most of CBS’ already meager climate team. But don’t worry, climate change isn’t a big deal any more www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/cbs-news-g...

Bill Gates may not have turned full-fledged climate denier, but he’s made them very happy by spouting their modern talking points Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I too would like to place this marker

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.

great column here on huge tax breaks to US oil companies for foreign production

"Truly self-destructive, offering none of the nationalist upside but all of the global downside." New @opinion.bloomberg.com @markgongloff.bsky.social column on the absurd oil subsidies handed out by the U.S. highlighted in the new @factcoalition.bsky.social report. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Great writeup by Bloomberg's @markgongloff.bsky.social of FACT's new report on U.S. tax subsidies for oil and gas extraction abroad. "Big Oil hasn’t needed government help turning a profit in a long time... It’s time our tax code, among other things, reflected that."

Giving $7.5B in tax breaks to oil companies to pump overseas offers all of the global downside & none of the (bogus) domestic upside of oil subsidies. Truly self-destructive Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Another year, another history-making hot-water-fueled hurricane leaves @johnmoralestv.bsky.social nearly speechless

“Following the jewel heist at The Louvre, [Bari] Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown…Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code…”

Profoundly stupid all around. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Bill Gates sure picked an interesting day to downplay the threat of climate change

“'I think it's great. I think it's also brave,' political scientist Bjorn Lomborg said of Gates’ essay." That says all you need to know about Bill Gates' latest call to just surrender to climate change. When the climate denialists love you, you're doing it wrong www.newsweek.com/bill-gates-d...

This is a US citizen and father who served in our armed forces. He was tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, pinned to the ground, then imprisoned naked for three days with no explanation—during or since. No crime. No charges. No conviction. No phone calls. No appeal.

huge: new york’s largest battery project has been canceled. would’ve stored enough energy to power more than half a million homes. why’d it die? a protest movement in NYC against battery storage, backed by curtis sliwa & national GOP politicians. my latest for @heatmap.news #greensky

The drier the eye, the stronger the storm. Here's hoping that eyewall weakens, or Jamaica is in real trouble

Goebbels would be like, “Maybe don’t make it quite so on the nose at first”

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

Had to double check that this isn’t satire.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

The one time of year my being a weird little horror freak helps anybody else is Halloween. So with one week left of the season, if you need some scary recommendations, here are my top 10 horror movies of the year so far (note I still haven't seen Together, Long Walk or a couple of others) 1/12

“…taking a different approach.”????? You guys. Come the F on Do better

the laughable incompetence of these Gravy Seals is allllmost enough to make you briefly forget the horror of watching Americans being disappeared by secret police in broad daylight
