My suggestion is that the NY Times profile politicians who are not just thinking about kids detained by ICE, but actually doing something about it, rather than enabling it.

Amazing opportunity put on by some amazing people! Do check this out if it applies to you

Wait - corporations don't tell the absolute truth with regards to their emissions "reductions" claims? My world is shaken (and boiling, obvs). "Widespread revisions of self-reported emissions by major US corporations" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

With the world's eyes on US oil interests, let's not forget who benefits: The richest of the rich. Our research shows: 50% of the record fossil fuel profits in 2022 went to the wealthiest 1% of US Americans, the bottom 50% only received 1%. Link: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Toppling Maduro is not regime change - the number of US news media lazily reporting on what Trump says about running Venezuela is really odd given how little info there is coming in about the regime's other leaders: www.caracaschronicles.com/2026/01/03/w...

Agreed. Setting aside common in’tl law breaches: whatever happens to immediate global fossil fuel price (probably not much anyway), this whole war is based on the premise of (re)conquering oil assets and doubling down on the fossil age. This is in itself a win for Putin. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm revising a paper that was rejected a while ago, and I forgot about this cursed comment from the one reviewer who sank my piece (the other 2 reviews recommended R&R btw). This reviewer had other reasons to reject, but frankly, I'm still shocked the editors took this person seriously.

Excellent analytical work from @restofworld.org @hazelgandhi.bsky.social @rinachandran.bsky.social here - on the construction of data centres in extremely hot parts of the world restofworld.org/2025/data-ce...

Recently, Brazil's Congress pretty much took a chainsaw to the country's environmental regulations. I think this news hasn't received enough attention - so I wrote a blog post that explores this important development, what it means, and how it came to be: anthonycalacino.com/posts/2025-1...

Today's migration stats illustrate the migration doom loop in action... (from my presentation at the IMF last week)

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

My worries about the host country Brazil being confirmed here. In some ways, Brazil has more in common with the petro-states trying to derail the roadmap on a phase-out (it is, after all, the 10th largest oil producer).

Many reasons to like this research, which seems to support my and co-authors prior that fossil fuel intensive regions (most of which are currently located in Global South) could be the cradle of climate politicization if it wasn’t for the v serious and targeted fossil fuel political activism there.

I'm looking forward to presenting today at Mannheim. At the start of COP30, debate about progress on climate change highlights the important role of grassroots activists; but they are often silenced. 👇 We want to understand when and why environmental defenders are victimized.

The irony being that Lula, while having done some good, is more talk than action on climate. Between a congress that is gleefully dismantling environmental protections and Lula's own doubling down on oil extraction, I don't see much credibility here. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excited to spend this fall as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Mannheim, where I’ll also be presenting my research. Looking forward to great conversations and meetings. Many thanks to @melinscribe.bsky.social for the invitation and making this possible!

Climate disasters cost everyone. Governments don't plan to spend on natural disasters. US climate disaster spend is near $1trillion per year. Since 2000 increased insurance premiums, power outages, disaster recovery & uninsured damages exceed $7.7 trillion. #climaterisk #Auspol #USendofempire

I had the pleasure of reading this draft paper at a recent workshop, and it's a great contribution. Do check it out 👇

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

I know some who viewed Milei as a necessary evil, convinced that austerity and public sector cuts were needed to stabilize Argentina’s economy. Yet after denouncing the global elite and ‘collectivism,’ his government now depends on the US and IMF for support. www.ft.com/content/778e...

Oil and gas companies will often claim to be partners in the clean energy transition, when it is politically expedient to do so, but new research finds their actual contributions are marginal: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Today is the day!!! Existential Politics is out in the world! Read about why we’re doing climate policy wrong (too focused on measuring emissions) & what we should do instead (focus on $$ to constrain fossil asset owners & expand green asset owners). Just in time for #COP30.

Looking forward to hopping on a train later today and heading to Paris to present our "how Brexit harmed the environment" paper (cc @acalacino.bsky.social @hayleypring.bsky.social) tomorrow 🇫🇷 Thanks @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social for the invite!

Having to footnote limited data is a modest inconvenience in the grand scheme of all the bad happening right now in the US. But also, this sort of thing underscores how much science is being undermined right now.

“If you can beat the oligarchs here…that will send a message to every community in America that real change is possible.” More of my conversation with Bernie Sanders on democracy, oligarchy and his time as Mayor.

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Action Alert: APSA members are invited to urge Congress to take action in support of international education and federal science funding. Take action here: buff.ly/FlaOWyg and buff.ly/AlQ8CTm

Critics slam renewables for land use but ignore fossil fuels' huge impact. Germany's Hambach lignite mine: 85 sq km pit, 300m deep, snapped from ISS. My first ever energy research protect professionally was on the externalities of lignite. In short: they are very significant!

i know this does not strictly mean more or new gas and oil licenses, but the optics of this move from a climate policy credibility standpoint are bad… H/t @acalacino.bsky.social

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to invest in wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables (unless on-site). But what critics conveniently forget is the huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Wickett, Texas. 👇

Big DWW piece in NYT today. Again this sad progression away from collective responsibility and commitment to each other is presented as inevitable. It was not, and is not. 1/x www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/m...

"27 years of prison for Bolsonaro" This is justice for democracy, but also, justice for all those this coward attacked while in office. This is far from the end of the radical right in Brazil, but this seriously gives me hope.

The US should take notes from Brazil on how to defend democracy.

Psyched for @acalacino.bsky.social and @hayleypring.bsky.social to present our media paper at PECE/APSA! Come for the giant dataframe of local news, geolocated monthly climate events and coal mines Stay for the wealth of stories from recent 🇧🇷🇮🇩 fieldwork Enrage about asset-based climate politics

On my way to Vancouver for APSA and the PECE pre-conference. At PECE, I'll be sharing a look at a project with @fgenovese.bsky.social, @hayleypring.bsky.social & Mats Ahrenshop in which we try to understand when national and local media report on climate change 👇 1/5

almost hard to remember when the center and right were having a years-long meltdown about free speech on campus because students protested Milo Yiannopoulos speeches

A professor at Texas A&M taught… something related to gender that offended a student, who secretly filmed herself objecting. That video is picked up by TX legislators, who demand her firing, and now the dean and dept head have been fired. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Name a more dystopian duo than these two articles which appeared one after the other in my timeline 🙃
