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

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.

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

Excited that Timothy Mitchell will be joining us at the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory in a few weeks! Register to join us if you are in Stockholm. www.kth.se/ehl/ehl-even...

COP29 is wrapping up this week and people are (finally) calling for the process to be overhauled to *maybe* reduce oil industry influence over it. New documents we uncovered reveal they used a little known UN org to infiltrate from jump. First of three stories: drilled.media/news/IPIECA1

Hemma med feber i fel ände av landet men det här hade jag så gärna gått på:

Skriver I Aftonbladet kultur om @wimcarton.bsky.social och Andreas Malms nya bok Overshoot www.aftonbladet.se/kultur/a/eMk...

Stockholm, join us this coming Wednesday at the centre of excellence for Anthropocene history and take part of this talk with Alyssa Battistoni on her coming book Free Gifts: Capitalism and the politics of nature. #EconSky #GreenSky #ClimateSky #EnergySky #AcademicSky www.kth.se/anthropocene...

Debatterar vidare om klimat och kapitalism i @DNKultur denna gång med skogen och de biogena utsläppen i fokus. Ett brännande exempel på hur miljödata förändrar maktrelationer och skapar berättelser om omställningen idag. www.dn.se/kultur/adam-...

We at KTH EHL together with history at Stockholm uni and history and archaeology at Uppsala uni are looking forward to welcoming the #envhum and #envhist crowd to Sweden for the next @eseh.bsky.social conference on the theme of climate histories.

www.kth.se/ehl/ehl-even... EHL #envhum #envhist scholars Sverker Sörlin and Paul Warde are cited by the Pope (!) in his latest publication where he also mentions the EHL. Great to see that our work even reaches to the Vatican!

KTH EHL brown bag seminars continue to attract a good audience on site. Last Friday we had about 60 people in our kitchen listening to Gianfranco Selgas and Henrik Ernstson on their project Archives of the Planetary mine, which build and on Martin Arboleda and Mazen Labba’s work. #envhum #envhist
