Just of the press in @envirohist.bsky.social my hot take on the scale problem in AI and how it relates to the Great Acceleration and the Anthropocene, with a critique of the political economy of AI and a case for smaller models: www.journals.uchicago.edu/eprint/KUXEU... #envhist #greensky

Ja, vi tänkte verkligen i dollartecken när vi skrev en handbok i klimatjournalistik.

"What progressives usually mean when they talk about complexity is that the world is not set in stone. That what we have inherited can be changed." Read @drewpendergrass.bsky.social on complexity, Friedrich Hayek and democratic planning in our 3rd issue, AIRBORNE www.break-down.org/chaos-in-the...

New article out in @timeandsociety.bsky.social on the temporality of sustainable development, based on an attempt to reconcile the fundamentally incommensurable temporalities of Earth systems and capitalist economic growth journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #envhist #envhum #climate #greensky

Happening tomorrow at KTH!

Stockholm: we are so happy to bring @naomioreskes.bsky.social Oreskes to you! Don’t miss the chance today hear her speak about the hard truths of climate change we must confront

Stockholm: Join us April 1st for a seminar on AI before the ruins! Anne Pasek, visiting us from Trent University where she is associate professor, will dive into what might happen to the massive rollout of datacentres when the AI bubble bursts www.kth.se/anthropocene...

Finlands skogsmark tar knappt upp någon kol längre. Sveriges däremot har plötsligt ökat kraftigt. Kolupptaget i marken som Sverige registrerar i sin klimatrapportering till FN sticker ut i Europa. "Om siffran stämmer är den anmärkningsvärd". www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/e7...

De generella AI-modeller som används dagligen har en oacceptabel miljökostnad. Vi måste börja använda AI mer ändamålsenligt, skriver forskaren Adam Wickberg. ⬇️ vist.ly/4v3sz

Måste alla använda mer AI? Borde vi kanske prata om vad vi vill uppnå med en generell ökad användning av Silicon Valleys generativa AI? Skriver i @fof.se & framsteg om AI-accelerationens baksida. fof.se/artikel/ai-u...

Greta och jag var på Östermalm och pratade med folk. Läs gärna på bloggen!

The article is part of a special issue on the “Historical Epistemologies of Planetary Modelling” edited by @adamwickberg.bsky.social from @anthropocenekth.bsky.social and Tom Turnbull from @mpiwg.bsky.social 13/13

How does earth system modelling limit what stories about planetary change can be told? And can the lens of the Plantationocene help us answer this question? That’s what I am asking in a new paper in The Anthropocene Review doi.org/10.1177/2053... 1/

New chapter on ocean digitalization and governance out in volume edited by Bernhard Siegert, alongside great essays by Jussi Parikka, Geoffrey Bowker, @ranjodhdhaliwal.com @jeffreykirkwood.bsky.social and others meson.press/books/reckon...

if AI is so amazing, why can’t its supporters point to one real actual benefit to society it offers?

Happy to see this volume on environmental computation out where I contribute a chapter on ocean digitalization and governance, alongside great essays by Jussi Parikka, @ranjodhdhaliwal.com Geoffrey Bowker and others meson.press/books/reckon...

what do we talk about when we talk about energy? my answer features (among many others) adorno, bogdanov, and the austrian communist wilhelm frank, who experimented with national exergy balances in the 1950s. out april 2026.

My new article "Rentier capitalism, technofascism and the destruction of the common" now published in Area Development and Policy (open access)!! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

When you see the cold numbers -- 8% cuts in emissions needed per year, every year, from now -- it's clear that even 2° is a fantasy (Emissions only fell 5% during covid, when much of the world economy shut down)

Stockholm, join us on Thursday at the centre for Anthropocene history for a dissection and deep dive into the concept of crisis and its role in shapingh our response to climate and environment with @holgersen.bsky.social

We are hiring! Prospective PhD students in environmental history, history of science, history of technology and STS interested in the climate and environmental impacts of AI look here. Please share in your networks. #envhist #histsci #AI #anthropcoene

Our workshop Infrastructures In, Of, and For the Anthropocene has wrapped! Thanks to everyone who participated! shorturl.at/yllJN We're now preparing for a second Autumn workshop, Futures Beyond Transition: Perspectives from the Energy Humanities shorturl.at/kO4EI (Flamenco image: James Bridle)

Pollutting now and cleaning up later is not a viable strategy: Direct Air Capture (DAC) is hitting a hard reality check. Costs are falling much slower than anticipated, casting doubts on the nascent technique’s role in tackling climate change.

Our paper on the Argo program and how the ocean became understood through the lense of climate modelling is out now in Environment and Planning E! #envhist #histofsci 🌊 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

”Scientists have warned previously that Amoc collapse must be avoided ’at all costs’. It would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50cm to already rising sea levels.”

I am thrilled to announce that I will be collaborating with Adam Wickberg and the brilliant group at KTH's Centre of Excellence for Anthropocene History this fall as a visiting scholar. So, if you are in proximity to Stockholm between September 1st and December 1st and want to hang out: HMU

Our paper on digital twins of the ocean is out now in this great special issue of New Media & Society, alongside contributions from Jussi Parikka, Rob Kitchin,Geoffrey Bowker among others. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... journals.sagepub.com/toc/nmsa/27/8 #envhist #bluehumanities #envhum

Har tillsammans med @lisarostlund.bsky.social skrivit Att låta världen få veta - en handbok i klimatjournalistik. Vi har intervjuat forskare, mediechefer och journalister i hela världen och samlat grundkunskaper och perspektiv som alla journalister - och nyhetskonsumenter - behöver i den här tiden.

Two salaried 4-year PhD positions open at the Department of History of Science and Ideas in Uppsala, one in idéhistoria (intellectual/cultural history, broadly speaking), the other in history of science: www.uu.se/en/about-uu/... www.uu.se/en/about-uu/...

Read @brettchristophers.bsky.social great piece in the Guardian.

Mycket bra av Alf Hornborg i DN idag: www.dn.se/debatt/trump...

EU framhålls ofta som föregångare inom klimatpolitiken. Men rika länder som bidragit mycket till krisen - och som har god förmåga att ställa om - har förbundit sig att gå före. Skriver om ny rapport som bekräftar vad som har slagits fast flera gånger tidigare: det EU gör är långt ifrån tillräckligt.

These positions are still open, please share widely and apply if you are eligible and interested in joining us in Stockholm! #envhist #envhum #anthropocene

I did a piece about the political economy of climate breakdown for @londonreview.bsky.social, pivoting off the essential new book by Andreas Malm and @wimcarton.bsky.social. Please give it a read!

Happening at KTH tonight, don’t miss the chance to hear Tim Mitchell talk about his new work if you are in town!

Read my colleague Tom Turnbull’s excellent paper on the planetary battery in the journal Environmental Humanities

We have posted two tenured positions as assistant professor in #Anthropocene history at our centre, please help share widely: www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/... www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/... One is in #envhist and one is in history of science.

Don’t miss this if you’re in Stockholm next week! #envhist
