The #ReArmEurope Plan could increase EU-NATO’s military carbon footprint to 95 MtCO₂e, up 140% on 2021, and greater than the annual national emissions of Portugal or Croatia, writes Hannah Huibregtsen for @responsiblesci.bsky.social www.sgr.org.uk/resources/mi... #NATO #NATOsummit #ClimateCrisis

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

This is really exciting - a new Substack by a team of very senior climate experts who collectively represent centuries (yes, really!) of experience in emissions, economics, health and more: @krisebi.bsky.social, Ben Santer, Gary Yohe, Henry Jacoby, Rich Richels & Bud Ward, all legends in our field.

Trump’s US Army birthday parade this weekend will produce the same amount of ghg emissions as 300 homes produce in 1 year, according to ‘ @ips-dc.org. The parade is due to include more than 6,000 soldiers, 49 aircraft and 128 vehicles. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

"Something has happened to US political culture that divorces large parts of it from social reality...“cultural experiments” of the type that Trump and his gang are undertaking...are no longer shot down. The bubble is not burst. The madness is everyone’s reality" open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz...

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 leapt 6% immediately after the announcement, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite soared almost 8%. Follow our live news coverage of the trade war: www.ft.com/content/f3e0...

Militaries are already exempted from a wide range of EU environmental laws and standards; the rush to rearm in Europe has now encouraged the Dutch #military to seek dedicated legislation supporting this environmental exceptionalism nos.nl/artikel/2561...

All those bozos lied under oath yesterday saying no war plans were shared in that Signal thread. Atlantic first thing this morning: “oh yeah? eat shit.” This is like the most hopeful thing that’s happened since this nightmare started. @theatlantic.com doing me proud. Thank you 🙏🏻🇺🇸👊🙏🏻

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

The full scale invasion of Gaza, in contravention of the ceasefire and international law, is now in full-on "and in other news" section on even reputable websites Is the genocide boring you? Oh, I am sorry. It falls to Israel media to say the quiet part out loud www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The US is scheduled to co-host the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. Why would thousands of international athletes and millions of fans from around the world come to a country where tourists, asylum seekers, and visa holders are being disappeared to foreign prisons?

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Well, I have successfully made it in (and now, thank god, out) of the United States. Idk if/when I will be back—which is sad, because I love US folks. Once again, they did not make it easy. I will explain.
