We're still asking EV drivers to manage too many apps. Some offer RFID cards, some don't. Some participate in roaming, some don't. It's a mess that hinders adoption.

Take a moment to consider the 250 million people who have been forcibly displaced by climate disasters over the past 10 years…70,000 per day, on average. If you aren’t one of these unfortunate people, I invite you to consider what you can do to help one or more of them. They need us.

Australian freight company announces rollout of another 12 electric trucks that will replace diesel vehicles used for the national delivery network of global beverage giant Coca-Cola.

We've just launched the first large, site-less (home, direct to participant) randomized trial for treatment of #LongCovid, testing tirzepatide (a GLP-1 drug) vs placebo. Please help spread the word www.scripps.edu/news-and-eve...

It’s actually #DisasterDisinformation , which is much, much worse.

Last year, @michaelfwehner.bsky.social and Jim Kossin made the scientific case for a Cat6 cyclone. This week, Hurricane Melissa became the 6th storm in recorded history to smash through that threshold, with max winds of 216mph. And conditions leading to these storms are on the rise. Read more:

Every flood is followed by an outcry over building on flood prone land. And every subsequent flood shows that more homes have been built on flood prone land. Now that more land than ever before is flood prone, we really need to not put houses on flood prone land. Crisafulli is reckless.

Yikes. That's a 242 mph wind gust just measured inside Hurricane Melissa.

So…let me get this straight…rules aimed at preventing billion dollar disasters (ie ‘red tape’) are “unecessary restrictions”. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

I mean it's not like when presented with facts from experts (the ones not sanitised by government) that Murray approved a climate bomb that'll also erase ancient culture, oh, actually, wait a minute... www.acf.org.au/news/challen...

I love independent media and journalists with long memories, especially when they call out NewsCorpse! Crikey, on how we came to be trailing China in rare earths, and manufacturing in Australia.

Changes in October temperatures across the #Arctic by decade... Parts of this area (e.g., the Kara Sea) are warming more than 5x faster than the globally-averaged temperature trend! #ArcticAmplication Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis available at doi.org/10.24381/cds...

Welcome to the disaster industrial complex. Disasters contribute growth to economies - is that why FEMA is being dismantled?

The No Kings news over the last few days has loaded the depression index toward optimism for the first time in a long time. This good news from Australia might just tip the balance!

Agents snatching up a young protester off the floe today. Resist! Flippers up!

No Kings NYC

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Also non zero chance they’re looking for people who post about going to the no kings rally. I am the type of person that thinks a rally needs more vocal support and visibility to be viable but you should also be careful in that there will be people who use your posts against you.

Sea snakes are usually overlooked in the lists of things in Australia that can kill you…

Scientists can now quantify the climate effects of specific projects. The data should be incorporated into every development application. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

That’s not how you science.

Over 40% of corn grown in Indiana is used to make ethanol that cars burn. One acre of corn yields about 16,500 vehicle-miles per year of ethanol, which sounds high until you realize that one acre of solar yields about 2,700,000 vehicle-miles per year: 16,000% more driving for a given plot of land.

My work has me going down rabbit holes every week. This time it was disinformation in disasters. Here is what I found - and that countering it is not so hard. www.cicadaresearchandcomms.com.au/articles/dis...

Of 200 wildfires in the past 44 years, half of the fires that cost US$1bn or more were in the last decade. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

It's so hard to see and understand 'resilience' and 'genocide' in the same sentence in this research article title. And these researchers are heroes.

Mis-and dis-information cause real world harms - there need to be consequences. 17,000 people died globally from using hydroxychloroquine in the pandemic - in Australia Clive Palmer was one of the root causes of the lies spread here. theconversation.com/facebook-dat...

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

Is this the best invention?

Posting a reminder that no disasters are natural, & a certain one twenty years ago was especially not natural. So, you should not use the phrase. You can just say "disaster". (Although in this particular instance it was a catastrophe, not a disaster but... baby steps) www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT9-...
