On Tuesday our Director, Professor Piers Forster, received a CBE from Prince William, Prince of Wales, in recognition of his work to tackle climate change. Congratulations to Piers on this well-deserved honour. A proud moment for the Priestley Centre.

This is the same company building a colossus of a data center in York County, SC. They’re telling locals water won’t be an issue because it’s on a closed loop or something. But that is the same water system used in Georgia. South Carolina candidates need to be talking about this. #SCpol #SCnews

This points to something underdiscussed. David Attenborough is much loved and his political salience is zero.

This is a quick summary of the latest CMIP process. It is a complex beast and a consensus project so there are always things that you’ll agree with and those that you might not. 1/

@heinrich.senate.gov Can our planet sustain killing wild animals, and farming cows? Are the Trump admin climate criminals? Are they committing ecocide? @stopecocide.bsky.social

Breaking: The New York Times just reported that well over 100k children have been separated from their parents since Trump’s second term began, and a majority of them are American citizens. We are torturing them. Please. Call your reps and tell them NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE! 5 calls has a script

@jesscraven101.bsky.social Should #Trump admin climate criminals be prosecuted for environmental atrocities acts of ecocide ? @stopecocide.bsky.social

Those people used to feed our children to alligators. They used to lynch us after church service. I do not put anything past them. NOTHING.

It’s at risk of being drowned out by other news, but great to see the CCC’s latest warning on climate adaptation on the front page of the Guardian. An issue that needs far more attention. Great to see @samalvis.bsky.social quoted on the case for more air con too…

"US had a trillion dollars in #ClimateDamage last year. That's a big number. It'll only grow. Unsustainable, unproductive & we're not talking about the human costs either, just economic damages & lost businesses. Physical risk is still being ignored by economists, many industries & whole countries."

California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra just took half a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry. This on top of the max contribution from Chevron. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
