How is the Australian federal government doing at meeting its obligations under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework? "Terribly," says wildlife ecologist @euanritchie.bsky.social. However, the government claims they are 'on track' on most of those targets. Listen here @mongabay.com

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

🚨Techno-optimistic scientists take fewer climate actions In a new preprint, @colognaviktoria.bsky.social, @maiensachis.bsky.social, @jmbh.bsky.social & I examine techno-optimism among 9,199 scientists and how it relates to their civic engagement and lifestyle choices🧵 🔗 Link: tinyurl.com/hh94huzv

Last month was the 11th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of April. This was 670,000 km² below the 1981-2010 April average. Data from the @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

Fossil fuel companies are the best-represented group at the UN conferences on climate change, with more lobbyists attending than representatives from any nation. This year, a new global conference began with the mission of outgrowing fossil fuels. No fossil lobbyists allowed. US did not attend.

@hausfath.bsky.social has boosted his global temperature forecasts for '26 & '27, thanks to what looks like a developing super El Nino. We could approach 1.5C of warming this year & cross 1.6C the next open.substack.com/pub/theclima...

A group of nations wants to end-run the U.N. climate process to speed up fossil fuel phaseouts. But there are serious political headwinds.

We don't have a choice. Big industry is working with the state to impose overconsumption and dependence on their products. Explains Julia Steinberger - @jksteinberger.bsky.social Professor of ecological economics at Lausanne University. Full episode: www.planetcritical.com/julia-steinberger/

We know what happens to a people when they are removed from their land. But what happens to their culture? It cannot be maintained without practice, without relationship. It cannot exist separate to those who materialise it, without the soil and the flesh. www.planetcritical.com/oil-and-vine...

The sooner we stop burning fossil fuels, the better it is for everyone.

In 2026, It is more important to use our tax $$ to build a frivolous ballroom than it is to preserve what used to be gold standard science for the purpose of saving the lives of US citizens. 1500 science staff have left. Only 124 remain. 🧪 archive.today/3bkSw

New study finds that emphasizing collective efficacy (people's ability to catalyze large-scale change) is very effective in catalyzing behavioural change. As you can see from my pinned post, I'm a big fan of simple messages that can mobilize public support for climate action!

The Iran War has once again led to a bout of what @isabelschnabel.bsky.social memorably dubbed 'fossilflation'. It's en vouge to talk about the solution as some massively complex undertaking. It really isn't. Get off fossil fuels faster. My latest just out @nature.com rdcu.be/fdxig

Happy publication day to the legend, the great geobiologist and paleontologist Andy Knoll! His new book is like a jovial & witty fireside chat, and by the end of it, you'll come to appreciate how life and Earth have been intertwined for four billion years.

Great stuff from @mikegrunwald.bsky.social, as always. "You can save real money while doing a small part to help stabilize the climate, defund Big Oil and even reduce the risk of future conflicts in fossil-fueled nations like Iran and Venezuela." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/o...

#ScienceTalk #climate #ClimateScience #SuperElNino #IPCC #MuhammadIttefaq #ZekeHausfather 10:08 "the US has always had challenges converting rhetoric into reality, simply by the fact that our politics is very sclerotic"

#ScienceTalk #MuhammadIttefaq #ZekeHausfather 47:58 "a lot of plants and animals live in very narrow ecological niches, that are defined in large part by temperature and precipitation. And as the world warms, there is going to be potentially catastrophic impacts in a lot of these ecosystems."

Great conversation. Zeke is an excellent communicator; I wish more Americans knew his name.

Super grateful to @hausfath.bsky.social for this amazing and timely conversation on the state of climate in 2026. We spent a great deal of time on IPCC report and other relevant topics. @scitalkofficial.bsky.social youtu.be/ERyJ1iShNkM

⚡💸 Electrification = lower bills? A new paper shows it’s not that simple: modeling 10,000 buildings across 28 US cities 🏙️finds heat pumps can raise energy burdens in cold climates, even as they lower them for homes using resistance heat. 🧪@natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s44...

It's now nearly impossible to hold polluters accountable in Utah after Governor Spencer Cox signed new legislation that gives sweeping legal immunity to corporations that cause climate harms. Utahns deserve better. They deserve accountability.
