Let's be clear: government-controlled space lasers controlling our weather aren't real. But could solar geoengineering be a solution for managing dangerous climate change? What do you know about Solar Radiation Management (SRM)? Leave a comment below & check our podcast ep on SRM.

Morgen sollen die Kühltürme des AKW Gundremmingen gesprengt werden. Bereits heute veröffentlichen wir gemeinsam mit unseren Partnern vom Anthropocene Institute unseren neuen Bericht zu den Folgen des Atomausstiegs: #Kernkraft #Atomausstieg #Klima #Klimapolitik

New episode 🎙️ Bad Idea #27 “There’s no hope for humanity” @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by existential risk researcher Dr SJ Beard, who argues that we need to look beyond fear and fatalism to build a future worth surviving for. 🎧 weplanet.org/podcast

Am nächsten Samstag protestieren wir gemeinsam mit WePlanet @weplanetint.bsky.social gegen die Sprengung der Kühltürme in Gundremmingen. Dieses Symbol der Zerstörung darf nicht das letzte Wort sein – wir stehen für Vernunft und Klimaschutz. Unsere Pressemitteilung: nuklearia.de/2025/10/21/g... ⚛️

There's no confusion! Help us put a stop to this proposal before it becomes law! Act now: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

Do you know the origins of your food? Join Hidde and Karsten as they explore the origins of the tomato, how it's changed over time, and how it can evolve to meet future demands. Watch the full film now: www.sugarrushfilm.nl

The EAT-Lancet report shook things up in 2019 by putting food systems at the heart of climate and health. Now it’s back. The 2025 update sharpens the science, adjusts where needed, and adds a crucial layer: social justice. Our breakdown of the report. 👇

Is climate catastrophism actually a bad idea? 🌍 In my latest podcast, I talk with Ted Nordhaus (@Breakthrough Institute) about why apocalyptic climate narratives backfire — and how tech + prosperity can drive decarbonisation. Don't miss it! www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

🚨 European Parliament votes to ban ‘veggie burger’ & ‘plant-based sausage’. Today in Brussels, MEPs approved restrictions on common names like burger, steak, and sausage for plant-based foods (355 for, 247 against, 33 abstentions). Read our full statement 👇

The EU Parliament will vote tomorrow on whether it should be illegal to call this plant-based burger a 'burger.' This is madness. Everyone can tell the difference between a plant-based burger and a meat one. Sign the petition now: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

European consumers can tell the difference between meat & plant-based foods. Yet members of the EU Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like sausage or burger for plant-based foods? Act to stop this attack on consumer choice: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

Is green hydrogen the silver bullet for decarbonisation — or a trillion-dollar distraction? @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by energy analyst, investor, and podcaster @mliebreich.bsky.social to unpack Bad Idea #24: “We’ll just use Hydrogen!”

The EU wants to ban words like “burger” + “sausage” from plant-based foods. So get ready for “protein tubes” + “alternative discs.” 🙃 Nobody’s confused — except Brussels. Consumers + the planet deserve better. #NoConfusion substack.com/home/post/p-...

Next week the European Parliament will vote on whether to ban the use of terms like “burger,” “sausage,” and “steak” for plant-based foods. This would be nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry. Just 6 days to act: weplanet.yourmovement.org/p/noconfusio...

After 50yrs of service, Tihange 1 nuclear power plant will shutdown for the last time at midnight. The Belgian government, despite reversing their disastrous nuclear phase-out law, is allowing ENGIE to shutdown this vital clean energy infrastructure! Last night we sent a clear message!

🚨 Next week the EU votes on banning words like burger, sausage & chicken from plant-based foods. This is nothing short of government engaging in cartel behaviour with the meat industry right as we need to transition away from animal agriculture to fix the climate crisis. Act now!

I really enjoy the wide-ranging (and often provocative) conversations Mark Lynas has on his @weplanetint.bsky.social podcast. So I was very happy to join him again to talk more about climate change and what we do to fix it. www.weplanet.org/podcast/epis...

Saving the World from Bad Ideas, is back for season 2. @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by data scientists @hannahritchie.bsky.social. Together they bust pervasive climate myths by drawing from her new book Clearing the Air: The hopeful guide to solving climate change in 50 questions.

Global standardisation & deployment are how we have successfully brought down the cost & rollout time of other clean energy. We encourage government, industry & civil society groups to increase cooperation for the deployment of nuclear energy to address the climate crisis.

The highest court in the EU just reaffirmed that nuclear energy meets the scientific and environmental standards to be included in the EU Sustainable Finance Taxonomy.

Is it too late to stop climate change, or do we still have reasons for hope? To launch Season Two, @marklynas.bsky.social talks with @hannahritchie.bsky.social, Deputy Editor of Our World in Data and author of Clearing the Air: The hopeful guide to solving climate change in 50 questions.

Are we addicted to fossil fuels and can we just go cold turkey? In our upcoming episode, philosopher of science @maartenboudry.bsky.social joins @marklynas.bsky.social to tackle Bad Idea #18:: “we’re addicted to fossil fuels”.

Here's @andrealeong.bsky.social report back on tasting the future of food. Cultivated meat allows us to enjoy the foods we love without needing to slaughter animals - reducing animal suffering, environmental impacts, and threats to public health such as animal borne diseases like bird flu.

Bad Idea #17: “Rewilding VS the people.” Is rewilding just about wolves & bears vs farmers & rural communities, or something much more hopeful and human? @marklynas.bsky.social is joined by Rebecca Wrigley, Chief Executive of @rewildingbritain.org.uk Watch or listen now: www.weplanet.org/podcast

While the Global North expands fossil fuels for its citizens, it pressures development banks to block financing for LPG, a fossil fuel that could provide clean cooking for millions of the world's poorest people who lack electricity. This is an injustice! youtu.be/mq87IM2pib0

I love that @marklynas.bsky.social named his pod Saving the World From Bad Ideas. We took a stab at it; you might not like what we had to say but hear us out!

700,000 people die annually across sub-Saharan Africa due to indoor air pollution. With clean electricity decades away, LPG is an interim solution available now, reducing indoor air pollution and deforestation – a win-win for people and the environment. Act now: act.weplanet.org/just-stop-co...

Why is the National Party attacking Aussie innovation and people's right to choose what they eat? David Littleproud MP is targeting cultivated meat – a safe, science-backed way to produce real meat without harming animals or the planet. It’s a step forward, not a threat.

We wish this was a joke, but it's deadly serious! 700,000 people die annually across sub-Saharan Africa due to indoor air pollution. Watch this satirical short film critiquing the injustice of what we're calling "carbon colonialism"

“Cooking is not optional, it is survival. Our people deserve to cook, not in smoke and sorrow, but in safety and dignity," Says @weplanetafrica.org's Patricia Nanteza in Kampala at the launch of #JustStopCooking campaign. @weplanetint #AfricaMustCook

‼️The other environmental NGOs don't want you to see this video‼️ A great injustice is being conducted against the world's poorest people. Find out more: www.juststopcooking.org 🧵
