"logic of Musk’s empire is total. X shapes the discourse. Grok automates it. Grokipedia rewrites the historical record. Starlink can deliver it all, everywhere, to everyone. Each layer reinforces the others. It’s not about winning arguments in the public sphere. It’s about building a replacement."

"A whole civilization will die tonight", llamadme quisquilloso, pero para mí que un dirigente con arsenal nuclear disponible suelte algo así ya sería motivo suficiente para cortar todo tipo de relación diplomática y denunciar en todos los medios, canales e instituciones con extrema urgencia.

In this new paper we introduce the idea of "symbolic power" to show how it affects environmental decision making and environmental values. We refer to symbolic power as the ability to influence what people accept as legitimate, credible, or simply as common sense. journals.plos.org/sustainabili...

Study shows that planned expansion of renewable energy poses increasing (co-occurring human-induced) threats on terrestrial biodiversity, especially in areas where species are heavily affected by human activities. This implies the need for careful land-use planning. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

BREAKING: Israel Approves Extreme Death Penalty Law Targeting Only Palestinians Monday’s vote in the Knesset to impose a one-sided death penalty bill on Palestinians will further cement Israel’s system of apartheid, reports @minnahfarshad.bsky.social. Read more here: zeteo.com/p/israel-app...

Sociology attacked in US universities for focusing on issues around social-justice. Does this look, sound and taste as fascism or FASCISM? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

As a Chief Editor of an academic journal in the field of sustainability I take this as a very serious issue and makes me and the journal to continuously protect a fair and transparent research-to-publish process. Upholding scientific integrity is also a way to fight many forms of denialism. 👇👇

El “pragmatismo climático” empieza a parecerse demasiado a una coartada para aceptar el programa del capital: desregulación, libre comercio y rearme. La transición verde no puede construirse contra la igualdad y sin crear conflicto. zonaestrategia.net/un-progresis... @martinlallanas.bsky.social

Dr. Paul Ehrlich, founder of the field of population biology, Stanford professor, prolific author of books on butterflies, birds, & human ecology, world-class environmentalist, outspoken scientist, and a personal friend, has passed away. A giant in the field of ecology. youtu.be/vW1z4n4Dusk?...

Very good reasons to study geography, not just in Cambridge but in any university around the world.

How do we strengthen trust in scientific authorship? A new @pnas.org perspective from an expert working group outlines three principles: transparency, credit and accountability. PLOS Chief Scientific Officer, @verokiermer.bsky.social acted as lead author. 🔗 Read more: plos.io/4saRwae

Great to see this is a strong MEP team. A key challenge will be to turn such multi- to inter-disciplinary vision in all @ipbes.net led global initiatives. Having experienced being MEP member, I know the new MEP members have a great opportunity to engage in cross cultural and epistemic pluralism.

On the second fossil fuel crisis of this decade (and likely to be worse than the last, fair to say), a few small thoughts First: global oil demand would be so much lower without climate delay, fossil corruption, oversized SUVs, western overconsumption. Everyone who pushed these holds responsibility

An analysis of 4 million academic documents reveals major blind spots in sustainability research. Much of this research focuses on technological solutions but pays too little attention to the role of civil society, the public sector, and financial actors, the study finds: buff.ly/eHrdPgz

The NYT style guide

Researchers have developed an Ocean Equity Index to measure how fair ocean initiatives are across 12 criteria. The tool can be used by governments, companies and Indigenous or community groups, and its authors hope it gains global traction. Experts note equity remains difficult to quantify.

"Thinking through the implications of 4C warming shows that the impacts are so significant that the only real adaptation strategy is to avoid that at all cost because of the pain & suffering that is going to cost. There is no science on how we are going to adapt to 4C warming" @neiladger.bsky.social

Important new @worldresources.bsky.social research shows that agricultural expansion isn’t only leading to forest loss - it’s leading to loss of grasslands, savannas, & wetlands too. From 2005-20, the 🌎 lost 95 Mha of non-forest natural ecosystems to annual crops, and another 95 Mha to pasture. 1/

Listen up scientists! Providing the information and saying what needs to be done isn't enough, because policymaking isn't about doing the right thing It's a contested space, a battlefield, and we have vastly powerful opponents who don't want governments to enact evidence-based policies

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social] Indigenous leader José Albino Cañas Ramírez was shot dead in Caldas, Colombia, highlighting the Emberá Chamí’s “double victimization” by armed groups and extractive pressures. At least 21 social leaders have been killed in Colombia this year.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

when big tech companies say that AI will save the planet, what kinds of AI are they actually talking about — and what's their proof? i took a look at some great new research from @ketanjoshi.co and talked to other experts about how a lot of this talk is probably bullshit:

The implications of overshooting 1.5 °C on Earth system tipping elements - a review "Global warming must peak below 2°C, return to below 1.5°C as quickly as possible (i.e. within this century), and to around 1°C thereafter to limit tipping point risks". iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

What Marco Rubio conveniently left out of his "ode to empire" at Munich over the weekend. I brought some receipts about the human costs of Western imperialism in my latest Guardian column: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is a tendency to act as if climate change adaptation is a ‘get out of jail free’ card Adapting to ongoing climate change will involve huge disruption to our systems It would be so much simpler to act to stop further climate change

Appears this is also true for fascism.
