Beautiful places, powerful protectors. Mangroves really can do it all—and a new study quantifies the economic benefit they provide. Find out what that number is.

@stevepowell99.bsky.social So the question is, are you like Neil deGrasse Tyson because you're brilliant, or does the algorithm think your profile picture with connected dots must mean you're an astrophysicist?

EcoCounts in North / Central London is recruiting two trustees - one in governance mainly and one fundraising lead. reachvolunteering.org.uk/opp/trustee-...

QOTD for me: "You can't have personal accountability without supply chain transparency." This was the basis we started from when we came up with the Carbon Accounts concept at EcoCore. ecocore.org

BREAKING 🚨: The government has just announced that they are ending new oil and gas exploration in the UK and have started a plan for workers and communities to transition away from fossil fuels. 🧵

Economists say the govt can't spend much. Until a war or a pandemic or a bank collapse arrives & then suddenly the money is there. Come and find out what actually restricts government spending. Up the drive next to Quinn's pub, NW1

Bang on - the same reason I left - along with having Elon Musk tweets and other random abuse rammed into my feed.

Not much else he can say really. Note his optimism on California's future. Hope he's right.

Blimey. Word out on the street is that Trump is already plotting regime change in NY 😆 But seriously, I heard Trump secretly wanted a ZM victory because he wants the fight. There's going to be fireworks for sure.

ecocounts.community/travel-smart... When public transport is not quick enough, which happens a lot even in well-connected London, or a bicycle won't do, then ride sharing is a more sustainable option than jumping in a taxi. Latest eco tip from EcoCounts.

For them, distance is protection — not isolation. Uncontacted Indigenous peoples are defending their lands. Discover their stories, their resilience – and the threats to their survival: uncontactedpeoples.org #AtTheEdge #uncontacted #uncontactedpeoples #northsentinel #amazon #indigenouspeoples

There's no solution to any other crisis until this one is cleared up.

“Uncontacted” doesn’t mean cut off — it means resisting. Against invasion. Against disease. Against extinction. For survival. A story of resilience and resistance is coming 🏹

There, fixed it

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

Emergency deployment of direct air capture as a response to the climate crisis. Nature Communications 12, 368 (2021): wartime-like crash deployment of DAC as a policy response to the climate crisis, calculating funding, net CO2 removal & climate impacts? Extremely expensive.

Common sense prevails. Now every other company needs to do the same.

Yes

I'd like to see the same chart but ranked by carbon footprint rather than money.

This is the best approach I've seen for getting rid of tech-led fascism: www.rebeltechalliance.org/collectiveac...

#Forests Suriname already has the world’s highest share of forest cover, with about 93% of its land blanketed in tropical rainforest. Most of that remains primary forest untouched by logging, agriculture or mining. 1 of only 3 countries worldwide that absorbs more carbon dioxide than it emits!

How are our thoughts controlled by society? In the climate crisis (and all other crises), the answer is: a lot. In this video, @richardjmurphy.bsky.social explains the politics and print media: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7O...

On Oct 17th, we will host a talk with Michael Hudson, Steve Keen and Ann Pettifor. They will discuss Debt, Empire, and the Future. It will also be streamed on our Youtube channel. davidgraeber.institute/debt-empire-...

This Friday in Camden, N. London we're screening the new documentary Fires and Fascism with Q&A with director Peter Knapp afterwards. Highly relevant at the intersection of the climate crisis and the techno-fascist power grab. Please come along. Sign up here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ecocounts-...

So forget about storage and transmission for a sec, let's explore the idea that assets are worthless if used <50% of the time. -Snow plows -substantial fraction of the poles and wires (built to peak) -The Red River Floodway (Most days Winnipeg wouldn't flood anyway!) -Every gun and private car

The big problem is though to most people, Prof Mann's call to action will read like fiction, despite the reality of it. The 1st tyranny we need to get free of is the tyranny of the everyday. Too many of us cannot believe we are where we are & prefer the comfort of the mundane to taking up the fight

Right-wing abundance-bros operate in an ecosystem of ultra-low-information, mostly on a combination of X and substack, with the big accounts just spewing out vaguely correct-sounding chunks of text that crumble at the slightest interrogation. This has ~1.2k RTs on X, and it's just....made up

Today is #EarthOvershootDay. Falling on July 24th means that humanity is currently using nature 1.8 times faster than Earths ecosystems can regenerate. #OvershootDay

Privatisation has turned our essential resource into a cash-cow for profiteers. The Government’s long-awaited reform won’t fix it. If you think everyone should have access to clean, accessible, public water, add your name: actionnetwork.org/forms/water-...

1️⃣ Like a heartbeat driving one of the largest seasonal cycles on Earth, Antarctic sea ice is central to the global climate system and vital for unique ecosystems.

Today's the day ! It's launch day for the #BigButterflyCount . . . Get out between now and 10th August for 15 minutes and count the butterflies you see & help the great citizen science of @savebutterflies.bsky.social ! Get involved at bigbutterflycount.org

This framing is misleading. It's super important that we recognise that there's no 'new normal' until we stop burning fossil fuels - it just keeps getting worse & worse! As the scientists quoted in the article say "today’s high temperatures are likely to be average by 2050, & cool by 2100"

Apparently there's a new report out there from a Swedish NGO saying we need to reduce emissions by 12% per year to stay under 1.5°C. I can't find it. I need to practice my Google-fu.

"Strong and stable" and "cut the green crap" - the slogans of the time - turn out to be mutually exclusive. I really do wonder what Cameron and May think of their legacies. eciu.net/media/press-...

"Shocking to watch:" Coalition told to accept science, move past lumps of coal and hatred of renewables | RenewEconomy reneweconomy.com.au/shocking-to-...

very well said from @meredithmeredith.bsky.social

Yes. It was someone else who said climate models are useless. Climate scientists have been saying from the very beginning that burning fossil fuels would alter the climate system. The first to say so was Eunice Newton Foote in 1856. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Probably a stupid question but is this proposed reservoir actually safe from sea level rise? According to wikipedia, the Fens—the lowest-lying area in the United Kingdom—most of the land surrounding the town is below sea level. Surely this will be taken into account? inews.co.uk/news/environ...

I found it impossible to have constructive conversations about climate (let alone queerness) without getting swamped by vitriol and misinfo. those of us who moved to bluesky used to cherish how twitter was for everyone. but then it was made into a place that cherished toxicity above all else.
