Looking back on 2025, this was a big one for us. 3.5 months of radio silence since then, so, yeah, it was harassment.

Problem: Plastic pollution permeates peoples’ parts. Proposed solutions: 1) Stop spending taxpayers’ money to subsidize the fossil fuel industry. 2) Scale up scientific research to develop non-harmful plastic alternatives. 3) Enact a global ban on single use plastics. Other suggestions?

Fabulous lecture on #disinformation and rumours the power of social media.

Very good statement from the Cambridge Summit organizers.

If you are interested in studying participatory cryosphere science or permafrost science feel free to reach out about these opportunities. Will be recirculating in early January. Also for international scholars there's a new funding opportunity for postdocs where these projects could apply as well!

What an astonishingly dishonest piece of propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, including its citing of Obama's extremely outdated energy policies and its misrepresentation of Norwegian public opinion.

Can you spot why Trump has picked a fight with Venezuela?

The comedy wildlife photo awards 2025 have been published and I couldn't resist #meme #science #academicsky

Trumps next move… powerful piece.

Newsflash :

Electricity prices are soaring while utilities rake in billions in profit. Here's three ideas to bring bills down: 1) Make power cheap in the middle of the day 2) Stop utility profiteering 3) Keep climate impacts off bills My latest in @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

Carbon capture and storage has always been a smoke and mirrors cover for business as usual in the fight against climate breakdown Now something looks like stopping it in its tracks in the UK Climate breakdown 😊 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This whole presser illustrates just how absolutely impressionable Trump is. And Zohran has only met him for an hour—think of the absolute degenerates that surround the President daily, telling him who-knows-what. Remember him admitting the governor of Oregon (was it the mayor of Portland?) told >>

In cold climates, future grids will peak on the coldest winter nights, driven by electric space heating. Those times correlate nicely with wind power, which grows in winter and at night. 💨🤝⚡️

A helpful thread on nuclear power, why it didn’t work the first time around, and why the tech-bro billionaire class really wants it to anyway.

Great overview!

After all the dismissiveness and misleading presentation of growth rates, there's basically no escaping the fact that US data centre growth is a globally significant story that is directly incentivising new fossil fuel use and infrastructure growth Feeling pretty vindicated, given last year's WEO

Good news: more than 50% of the world’s economies have seen carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation peaking. And with the speed of change in the electricity sector many more will join this growing list in coming years.

The Canadian government is ignoring research and the voices of green business and is cutting our brand new greenwashing law. Read more in our Globe and Mail op ed today.

The EU and China both endorse the Open Coalition - that's huge.

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE

The claim that “emissions have come down” in this @nytimes.com @sominisengupta.bsky.social article on where we are ten years post-Paris is FALSE. Global emissions were at an all-time high in 2024. As it stands this claim is misinformation. They need to issue a correction!

There’s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they don’t do that enough, while people who don’t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

This summer my family cabin was incinerated in one of the #Newfoundland wildfires. Recently our new premier stated he didn’t think #wildfires were caused by climate change. theindependent.ca/commentary/e...

Thrilled that this book will soon be available. It gives such a “thick” insight into the Confederation era and what many in #Newfoundland were dealing with on the eve of joing #Canada.

Top 15 news influencers in #Canada are all male…and many right leaning. #journalism

Ecocide.

Can’t stop thinking about the people of Jamaica. ❤️❤️❤️ created so little in emissions but get perhaps 175 MPH winds and up to 40 inches in some parts fueled by climate change.

After a (very) long and (very) winding road, Dear Mr. Smallwood is almost here! I can't wait to finally meet this book in print in a few weeks.

A 3.5ppm increase in one year. 🤯

I gathered #opinions #concerns and #attitudes about #climate change in #Newfoundland. We are not immune.

Please enjoy this executive at one of America's biggest gas companies openly admitting that expanding supply leads to increased demand for fossil fuels He is not wrong: frantic expansion of fossil fuel supply worsens climate change. Tax it, cut subsidies, wind it down www.ft.com/content/5ba8...

If you ever end up recording a final message, ensure you dedicate a good chunk of it to roasting your nemeses, like Jane Goodall did futurism.com/future-socie...

Let's be clear tho: Carney abandoned climate change policy as a cynical means to get elected, not because there are other crises.

A great write up by @acantle.bsky.social and @angelavcarter.bsky.social!

Avi's launch video is 🔥. While Carney's elbows are sagging, Avi's building a real agenda to make life better for Canada's many.

"While other governments sue oil companies for climate damages, the NL government brings along an oil lobbyist like a Negotiator-in-Chief. This is inviting the fox into the henhouse." Read the op-ed from @acantle.bsky.social & Angela Carter 👇 #nlpoli www.saltwire.com/newfoundland...

The President of Ireland calling for the UN to bypass the Security Council and mount an international military defence of an aid corridor to the Gaza Strip. Let's do it people. Let's show Israel that genocide by Israelis is as unacceptable as genocide by Nazis, Serbs, Arabs or anyone else.
