Over half the agenda. ONE year. Our latest update shows the Trump administration has already implemented 53% of Project 2025’s recommended domestic policies. Pay attention. progressivereform.org/publications...

💸 In Argentina, fire management budgets have been slashed, hampering the ability of agencies to respond to the fires.

“with no self-preservation instinct whatsoever” may be the best summary of the Bormio downhill track I’ve ever heard

Cows are an invasive species that damage nature. Tribes are showing that less grazing benefits native wildlife like sage grouse. Yet ranchers dominate public land policy. In the American West, less grazing would mean undoing deeply ingrained “settler-colonial” beliefs www.hcn.org/issues/58-2/...

Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...

Fuck. All. Of. This. Libertarians voted for Trump. Libertarians helped write Project 2025. Libertarians have been sitting on their fucking hands for past year. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/o...

What a gorgeous and spot on title.

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

This is a fascist technology that fundamentally -by its core design and characteristics as a technology- serves the goals of bigots, racists and bloodthirsty white supremacists It has no role in progressive or left advocacy, no matter how much time it saves you. When you use it, you're helping them

underrated post

The dirty secret (literally) is that the EPA treats the VAST MAJORITY of environmental and public health benefits from its rule as worth $0. What's different here is that ozone and PM are pretty much the only thing they have a good monetary estimates for. progressivereform.org/cpr-blog/car...

"In Trump's second term, the federal government has intentionally rid itself of the capacity to do anything but make things worse." from @davidjroth.bsky.social [🎁]

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Not for nothing, this approach runs counter to section on "Treatment of Uncertainty" contained in the 2003 version of Circular A-4, which the Trump administration specifically reinstated as one of the first acts of its second term obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/omb/circular...

"the [EPA] plans to calculate only the cost to industry when setting pollution limits." These people are the lowest scum on earth. Happy to destroy what is irreplaceable. Happy to be murderers.

No, @nytimes.com (www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/m...), experts do NOT agree emissions reductions aren't adequate to prevent 2C warming. You're using a false premise (see climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...) to justify potentially dangerous interventions (which take pressure off decarbonization)

My current hot take is part of the problem with the current moment is people don't know things.

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

Young men keep coming up but it seems like whatever gender nonsense is going on with middle aged men is worse. Ok you’re a big tough predator, time to apply some icy hot and do your rotator cuff work bsky.app/profile/atru...

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

Trumpian imperialism in action: kidnap the head of the regime, leaving the rest of it in place so as to access the oil reserves for the US companies. Then realize the oil is actually quite expensive to extract, so go ahead and SUBSIDIZE the oil companies. Perfect. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

These posts aren't about the Palisades fire. They're just cheap shots to boost calls for the dismantling of environmental protections. They reveal a narcissism at the heart of humanity's troubles, a disregard of life & ecology, & a rejection of our duty of care to the world around us.

These expert opinions address opportunities to make a difference — and point out a few of our failures. https://therevelator.org/environmental-commentaries-2025/

12 Environmental Commentaries That Defined Our Year in 2025 -- by @jyunker.bsky.social @oceanhoptimism.org @authorhenderson.bsky.social @federicoholm.bsky.social & many others: therevelator.org/environmenta...

It should be no surprise that environmental NGOs are under specific, intensive, & sustained attack by a de facto alliance of right-wing (think Project 2025) & centrist forces (think Abundance).

David Behringer told us, “If you’re drinking water, you’re drinking a lot of TFA". A type of PFAS, classed by German regulators as 'reprotoxic' - potentially damaging to fertility + child development - TFA is produced when F-gases used in refrigeration, or PFAS in pesticides begin to degrade. 🧵 1/4

🚨Omnibus I Political agreement Early this morning, EU institutions reached a political agreement that marks a turning point: 👉 The first rollback of an adopted due diligence law in history 👉 The first major file pushed through via an EPP–far right alliance www.linkedin.com/posts/europe...

It's here the seeds of "Abundance" were planted to cultivate an alliance btw extractive capital, fossil fuels, & centrists to attack the progressive left & take a sledgehammer to bedrock environmental laws they perceived as a threat to their dominance & the extractive systems they depend on.

Genuine question: What happens if Dems somehow have the coherence and spine to extract a "force Trump not to derail renewables" concession from Repubs on "permitting reform," then Trump's handlers just... ignore it? Who forces their hand? The courts, appeals courts, and eventually Supremes. . . . ?

Temu Vecna never saw a killing of brown people he couldn’t endorse

Must read article on how"the EU’s 'simplification' drive is turning into a bonanza for corporate lobbyists" #deregulation #corporatecapture www.euractiv.com/news/counter...

Pundit supporters of "permitting reform" sweep aside (& do not understand) ecology & community. In their ignorance, they seek to confine the decision-making space to energy infrastructure. This invariably leads to doomed conflict btw/energy infrastructure + ecological & community systems.

Absolutely perfect to see Mark Carney and Anthony Albanese at the G20 together: both fossil fuel expansionists cosplaying as brave climate heroes www.youtube.com/watch?v=S39D...

To emphasize: The SPEED Act’s relevance is not confined to energy, to the fight btw/fossil fuels & renewables. Its implications are expansive, covering all federal action that may harm the environment. Whole ecological systems at risk under the false notion that building fast is building well.

End of @enlit-europe.bsky.social. I'm amazed at the the creativity of folks trying to address grid flexibility, consumer empowerment, optimization, and streamlining processes. Still, there was a lot less interest in other dimensions of the energy transition #Enlit

Trump's EPA is proposing rule changes that if approved would result in fewer ponds, streams and wetlands being protected from development and pollution under clean water rules. Read all about this proposal and what it means @bloomberg.com (w/a gift link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Center research scientist Fede Holm is attending this year's #EnlitEurope. We look forward to his insights and learning more about how Europe is decarbonizing energy!

sous prétexte de “simplification”, l'UE envisage de laisser passer l'usage de pesticides nocifs. C’est anti-environnement et anti-science.

Some interesting insights after the first morning at @enlit-europe.bsky.social. The first relates to solar power's "winning formula". In terms of scalability, flexibility, co-location with other technologies, and price, solar is unbeatable. Co-location of solar and storage is a no-brainer.

“The Congo basin may be the world’s most important rainforest – why is it the least researched?” Geez, I don’t know… take a wild fucking guess?? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

1/2🧵 🌎 Who really holds the power at COP30? 🚨 More than 1,600 lobbyists from the fossil fuel industry attended #COP30 in Belém, outnumbering almost all national delegations. 👉 Read more: bit.ly/4rdvP9x

Bayer's sponsorship of the agriculture pavilion at COP30 is "a golden opportunity to greenwash its image" says @corporateeurope.org

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Moderates: (1) Seek to turn the U.S. into an AI-centered petrostate; by (2) Exploiting the "affordability" zeitgeist; as (3) A pretext to embrace the fossil fuel industry's "all of the above" energy rhetoric & "technology neutral permitting reform."

All the folks who contend we do not need to directly challenge the entrenched power of the fossil fuel industry—and that we can accommodate their policy priorities (e.g., federal “permitting reform”)—are either lying or deluding themselves that this is an effective climate strategy. Root. Them. Out.

The problem with the climate regime in one article: With fewer people attending COP30 "one in every 25 participants at this year’s UN climate summit is a fossil fuel lobbyist." It is "the largest concentration of fossil fuel lobbyists at COP" and up 12% from COP29 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Ok apparently this is actually not widely known: Gov. Shapiro withdrew Pennsylvania from RGGI today as part of a deal to pass a now-4month overdue budget.
