Important NGO letter to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu urging a revision to the Renewable Energy Directive so that it no longer incentivises large-sale burning of wood, which is high-carbon and devastating for forests, nature and public health: www.fern.org/fileadmin/up.... #biomass #StopFakeRenewables

Autofahrer rast mit 98km/h durch Berlin, tötet Fußgänger, und begeht Fahrerflucht. Urteil gerade: 22 Monate auf Bewährung. Klimaaktivist blockiert wiederholt für 30 min eine Straße um die Gesellschaft für die Klimakrise aufzurütteln. Urteil: 22 Monate Knast ohne Bewährung Ein völliger Wahnsinn!

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Not an anomaly... the new normal and humanity is sleeping walking right into it. So far so good, so far so good.’ But it’s not about how you fall. It’s about how you land.

Yes, it’s roasting! istheukhotrightnow.com

‪🌡️🌱 Does rubisco adapt to climate via structural shifts? We modelled rubisco stability, and in 3 of 4 lineages, warmer growing seasons correlated with H-bonds contributing more to stability, offset by protein-solvent and van der Waals interactions. #PlantScience 1/3 doi.org/10.1093/evol...

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

I’m sorry but if you aren’t sure of a citation, whether what it means or that it exists… why are you citing it. why are you referring to something you haven’t read or don’t understand? that defeats the entire bloody point

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

In case you want to know why the fossil industry is so adamant about "critical" minerals, and the importance of not "rushing" into batteries because, look, that lithium mine really needs to meet all ethic standards the fossil industry itself never has...

Bogs store so much carbon and are a huge water sponge. Accumulating at about 1 mm per year, UK bogs can be >8 m deep, as long as our corer in this photo. As you cross a bog, you walk upon 8000 years worth of carbon, slowly sequestered but vulnerable to catastrophic release by drainage and warming.

Researchers say today’s immigration detention system clearly meets the definition of a “concentration camp.”

Also they shot and killed folks in broad daylight and detain folks in detention camps without any legal support for months. So this should come as no surprise.

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not

The normalcy bias we're all experiencing for global sea-surface temperatures becomes apparent if we look at the graph of SSTs 1982-2026 and remove the last three years 2023, 2024, 2025 from the picture:

Shifting baseline syndrome (SBS) is what happens when we forget how vibrant the natural world used to be. Each generation grows up with a more depleted environment and calls it “normal,” simply because it’s all they’ve ever known.

It's hard being a climate comedian's therapist... 🫠

Thankfully since 1877 we've had the Haber-Bosch process to create nitrogren-based fertilisers so we won't...[touches earpiece] what's that? My producer reminds me that global nitrogen production has been crippled by the Strait of Hormuz being closed. As you were.

So disappointing to see the lack of political will now in Birmingham for safer streets. After questions from Babiker Yahia, whose 4-year-old daughter Mayar was killed by a driver in April 2024, only one candidate (after quite a pause) backed 20mph limits on all residential streets.

Watch this before you vote.

Quite the effort from Alicia to put this together, glad it’s finally out!

"E-bikes are cheating," says man wearing a space helmet whose bike and components are made of ultralight materials designed by NASA and aerodynamically tested in wind tunnels for F1 racecars.

It's 2026. The question isn't which thing can we burn to produce electricity that is slightly less worse than the other things we burn. Building new infrastructure to burn things in 2026 is peak stupidity and greed. Luckily solar, wind and storage are cheaper.

On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

Ich sage es mal so: Solange deutschlandbewimpelte Flachdenker mitten in einer fossilen Übergewinnphase und Klimakatastrophe ausgerechnet in einem Verbrenner-Autokorso nach Berlin schüsseln, um dort im Kreis fahrend gegen hohe Spritpreise zu demonstrieren, ist Sprit einfach noch nicht teuer genug.

Australia's energy minister is skipping global meetings on accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels because he has to stay in Australia to deal with the fallout from not phasing fossil fuels out fast enough.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

4 women raised their voices & forced Dems to remove Swalwell from office. Despite 27 women credibly accusing Trump of sexual assault, his name in the Epstein files 1M+ times & being found guilty of raping E Jean Carroll, DeSantis continues to stand by Trump. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

The US will close the Straits of Hormuz because the Iranians will not open the Straits of Hormuz despite the US bombing Iran in response to them closing the Straits of Hormuz because only the US is allowed to extort other countries via the Straits of Hormuz.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

We didn't deserve this day.

Sharing again for visibility: those shoeless hippies at the, uh, European Central Bank have urged states to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, highlighting their volatility.

This is an excellent paper and I also encourage high school teachers to read it. We owe our students so much more. It requires slow, patient effort from all of us.

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
