ICYMI, this STARTER PACK is my team-up with celebrated climate scientist @katharinehayhoe.com, and it’s full of people & organizations that specifically embrace the overlap between better cities and climate action! Please follow them, and help spread the pack around! #ClimateAction #UrbanistShoutOut

"The obstacles to limiting warming to below ever-more-dangerous levels remain political, rather than physical or technological." But it won't be done with CO₂ removal (CDR) technologies because the obstacles to scaling CDR are political, social, financial, physical, and technological.

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It's that time of the year again.

Academia is a really racist and sexist place. Larry Summers, as the president of Harvard, epitomized that racism and sexism but he is not unique. That's why we needed DEI.

"There is no playbook for reducing exposure when people’s homes are being sprinkled with lead dust from the sky." A sobering piece from the NYTimes on the dire consequences of the international trade in recycled lead for front-line communities in Africa. #energysky www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Climate variations over the last 2000 years provide valuable context and help answer questions about how unusual the recent changes are. Now with added global sea level rise: climatelabbook.substack.com/p/climate-ch... Graphics: ed-hawkins.github.io/climate-visu...

My latest for @science.org: A remarkable set of high-resolution climate model runs, computed over 900 (!) days of supercomputing time, are revealing how warming-induced changes to Earth's wind patterns due can prime huge spikes in extreme rainfall. But the MESACLIP runs also do much more than that.

hey folks checking out bluesky again because twitter's down: here's a starter pack of great folks to follow. rock on. go.bsky.app/6DoVMhY

Every moderator should begin Q&A this way: A good question has one part, not two; it’s never a comment; and it’s almost never about AI.

There are some things that we don’t need to hear about until it’s all over and we get it in a 3500-word article from @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social. This is one of them.

Ahem

Nice to see all the people here because Twitter is down. 👋

Watching a talk comparing enhanced rock weathering and ocean alkalinity enhancement and wishing that Bluesky was a place that appreciates this statement.

One day we’ll look back on this as one of the stupidest things we’ve done.

As @glenpeters.bsky.social says, we're way off target for any 1.5°C scenario. To see how far off, each of the red/green bars represents the decrease in CO₂ emissions during COVID. Even if we achieved that from now until the end of 2030, we would still miss our 1.5°C target by a significant margin.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed Monday to fulfill a $35.9 million, multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Trump White House.

Richie, you're doing a heck of a job.

For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

In a win for polluters, the Trump regime proposed a rule to limit the EPA’s authority to regulate pollution in wetlands and waterways. This would strip federal protections from 55 million acres of wetlands (85% of all wetlands nationwide!), threatening lots of people's drinking water.

The Trump regime’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants. The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

Even though she’s got her hands full cycling across Arizona and writing climate stories, I told Joan to post her stories her on Bluesky so please read and share them. 👇

I attended a talk by a scientist at a Chinese University and realized that all the background climate data that she used came from the US (CO₂ Keeling Curve, global temperature time series, etc.). Although China funds a lot of research, the destruction of US science will affect science globally.

Don't do any of this.

China’s economy is booming – but its emissions are flat? Environment Prof Helen Czerski gives her take on #COP30, highlighting how this year’s conference signals real, if slow, progress on climate action... 📺 Watch Helen's lectures: gres.hm/large-planet @ucl.ac.uk @helenczerski.bsky.social

The best use of pennies is to drill holes in them and use them as washers, which typically cost 10 cents each.

Congress has voted to release the Earhart Files!

Sure, they might have Elon Musk as a fellow, but they use proper diacritical marks, the ʻokina and the kahakō, used in the Hawaiian language so that’s something. 🙃

I put swift bricks into our parapet wall a couple of years ago. Still no joy attracting any tenants but hope springs eternal! If you’re doing any works to high up walls and roofs it’s worth considering adding some Swift bricks to the mix

Specially designed bricks that provide safe nesting spaces for swifts are being installed on properties around Shirebrook Valley as part of a council-funded environmental scheme.

Very disappointed none of you told me that Lewis Mumford made a 1963 film about car dependency, and it's available on YouTube. "The motor car inflates our private ego, proclaims our social status, and provides us with the illusion of freedom and power." www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIKZ...

Streets are for sheep. 🐑 apnews.com/article/germ...

📉The voluntary carbon market crashed bc credits didn't do what they claimed. Offsets 2.0 is here, with hard, inventive work on the ground. 🌴A look at the race to control carbon, from under the banana and cacao trees. By Fabiano Masisonnave and me: 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

For those wondering how you get on and off a penny-farthing. *A guy walking by said to his companion, “That looks incredibly dangerous.” 😅

Immigration raids in Hawaiʻi are especially ironic since the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was illegally overthrown and the Hawaiian Islands annexed by the United States against the will of the people.

The Jeffrey Esptein scandal the main stream press is ignoring; he was a major player in American foreign policy with deep ties to Israel and other satrapies: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power. The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

This should have been the end of Larry Summers.

Was hoping the story would include a mutt shot.

Boeing is paying Charm Industrial to remove 100000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere, which is a time machine that takes us back by 1 minute and 15 seconds. 🥲

Frankie the flamingo is all of us: “As the weather turned cool this autumn across England, Frankie the flamingo had apparently had enough. “On a blustery Sunday morning this month, the juvenile bird vanished from the zoo in Cornwall where she was born.”

They’re wasting our tax dollars

Journalists face challenges in reporting on climate interventions because the science is complex and the issues are often multifaceted. But the reporting should avoid sensationalism and try to present risks proportionately, help the public understand uncertainty, and avoid oversimplification.

Of course they did.

Nothing is safe trom Trump: The Buddy Holly crosswalk in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas will be removed to comply with a directive from the Trump regime to rid the public roadways of any political messages or artwork.

A public TV and radio station in Western Alaska serves dozens of villages damaged by Typhoon Halong. But with federal funding eliminated, KYUK makes severe cuts to its staff and news department. n.pr/4qVulQV

I can’t believe people are standing up for pedophiles. There was a famous geochemist, Tony Lasaga, whose work helped us understand the long term carbon cycle. He was also a child rapist. At his sentencing, colleagues actually argued for a lighter sentence because his expertise was too valuable. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Fuck all these people
