I love when MAGA types publish a list of unambiguously good things as if they're unambiguously bad things. It's such a revelation of what fearful cowardly people they are. We live in times of radical abuses. We should all seek radical remedies. All I can say to this is Hell Yeah.

They’ve swapped the hoods and robes for balaclavas and hats and khakis, but these are the same inbred cowards who did this 100 years ago (August 1925 and Sept 1926).

When monied & coordinated forces of vested interests are battering public trust in science, it's troubling to see the Director of Corporate Affairs at @wellcometrust.bsky.social hone in on "scientists' political biases"🤨 & to do so with such an image during deadly fossil fuel-driven heatwaves 1/

"The disasters we are facing can be traced back to the assumption that competition is natural and the optimal basis for a society – an assumption often attributed to Charles Darwin. That assumption is false." Great new guest post from @rowhoop.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

"As the public overestimate the costs of net zero by up to 14,000%, the idea that decarbonisation is an unaffordable luxury needs to be put to bed. It is an unavoidable investment in a safer future and it would be cheap at any price" My letter in the paper

As someone in this picture I find it a little odd that @natureportfolio.nature.com chose this image to illustrate the point. We were very careful when choosing a slogan for our signs that it be scientificly defenceable. "Science says New Oil & Gas = Death" is a plain statement of fact 🧵

It’s worth noting here that the reason it’s been taboo to say that Starmer’s leadership campaign was a bleak and stupid fraud was: for the first six months to a year of his rule, all the lobby journos treated the idea as an insane conspiracy theory that yet again proved how deranged the left are.

Since the hard-won, fragile, and crucial consensus on climate change was unpicked by the right wing, some on the left are happy to join this regressive attack. What does Graham tell her members about failing crops, coastal erosion, and global instability? Tough tits? It is so disheartening to see.

The idea that Carney is a 'green champion' has not been having a good year Now he's doubling down of fossil fuel extraction via a new oil pipeline and tripling LNG production Weathervane not signpost www.ft.com/content/e5ff...

This is the secret main essential true 250th anniversary event: the brave voice of democracy and justice; the brutal forces of silencing; it's all here.

I bring great news! Reform have lost their motion to rescind West Norfolk's climate emergency declaration and associated climate action It wasn't even close: 37-7 And several councillors were absolutely furious about Reform's shenanigans

2) the influence that residents can have on what goes on in their local government I was struck by how well informed about climate and energy so many of our cllrs were, but I don't that's because West Norfolk struck lucky I think it's because lots of us wrote to them & shared relevant information

In the end, Reform's motion was voted down by 37-7, with 3 abstentions. And 5 of the 'for' votes were Reform councillors (I think) Hooray! 🥳 But beyond the result, two things in particular massively heartened me 1) the breadth and depth of support for climate policies from cllrs across parties, &

Did you know? Renewables have just overtaken coal as the world's largest source of electricity 34% – global renewable share, up 2x in 20yrs 48% – EU 37% – China 26% – US 24% – India

In support of science and scientist

And there you go: Morgan et al have been bragging for years abour their expulsion of the left as slick, sly, seat-of-your-pants dark arts bullshit and shenanigans and in his first interview, the BBC are like: Thank you for giving us your most insulting, idiotic, Fisher-Price version of events, sir

I see we’re immediately laundering the lying, bullshit and corruption, rather than letting it lie for a while, until it at least stops twitching.

Trust in science is falling It could be because some scientists act and advocate for science-informed policies Or it could be because neoliberal fundamentalists, oil companies & other destructive industries spent untold billions & many years working to undermine trust in science Who knows 🤷

Blatant lobbying, not for the sake of our country, but for the fossil fuel industry, in which almost all the ultrarich - including, in all likelihood, the proprietors of these newspapers - are heavily invested. These people are not and never will be your friends. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

3,400 people die on a single extremely hot day in India. 30,000 in 5 days. Most of the poor aren't even counted. The study calls that a conservative estimate. Mass death is here. My heart is breaking. www.euronews.com/2026/06/10/h...

There should be no debate about whether to invest in climate mitigation or adaptation - we need to do both Adaptation money shouldn't be diverted from mitigation, it's not a zero sum game There's plenty of money around & we need to throw it at both

Data centres place a huge, possibly underestimated drain on water stores. share.google/vvUstRmrwJmS...

England is predicted to have a 5bn litre a day shortfall of water supply within the next 3 decades. Currently, we're losing 3bn litres a day in leaks - fixing that would take us a long way toward water security. 🧵

You are definitely going to want to read this! Amy is an amazing investigative journalist and all-around badass. I can’t think of a better person to write the book we need for this moment.

Sorry not sorry for the next several months of relentless book promotion, I didn't create this system! But for real, though, if you've ever thought anything I do is any good at all, I hope you'll read this book I poured everything into: geni.us/broughttoyouby

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

🥵💀🥵🔥 The climate necropolitics of India's Modi and Adani government: This paper estimates heatwave excess deaths across India, due to lack of government data. 30'000 heat deaths due to a 5 day heat wave is roughly 23% above the national average, and it's an underestimate. A HUGE mass death event.

Imagine travelling thousands of miles just to spend your evenings doing zoomies over the same few houses... It's hard not to be impressed 👇 #SwiftAwarenessWeek

They are also the same people who, if we do manage to reach net zero and avert climate induced civilisational collapse, will turn around and say ‘look, we told you there was nothing to worry about’.

Great to see so much information out there around how to cope with heat, but there is one vulnerable group that has been badly left out. Here's a PSA on how to care for climate deniers during fossil-fuelled heatwaves

This is "climate necropolitics". Our deaths are baked in, of no consequence to the powerful, to our landlords, employers, governments. "Climate necropolitics means we are being sacrificed. There is nothing passive or natural about this process." jksteinberger.medium.com/climate-necr... 5/7

The number of our governments that actually care enough to protect us from climate extreme impacts can be counted on fingers and toes: they support the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Not a single one is in Europe. www.fossilfueltreaty.org/progress 2/7

Jared Kushner wants Albania's protected wetlands. The government obliged. Protesters said no. 29 days later, they're still saying no — with flamingo cutouts and flags, in the streets, every single night. Europe is watching. Is anyone else?

Or we could have this, from Copenhagen

A council meeting to debate scrapping West Norfolk's climate emergency was postponed because the chamber was too hot. Sometimes reality has impeccable timing. Our latest - Henry Durand reports

Submerged stories allowing fascist supremacy to stay popular even when its outcomes are disreputable, submerged stories that allow radical systemic change to stay disreputable even when that is what is both desired and needed, and how to tell the difference. www.the-reframe.com/the-submerge...

Stop calling it “development” if the soil dies, the rivers dry, and the people leave.

None of these lads will ever admit to a centimetre of what they’ve done here. They won’t admit it to themselves and each other, never mind to you. And as Ta Nehisi Coates correctly observed: people who don’t draw the line at genocide, will not draw a line at democracy.

Do you see how we moved from “the most moral army in the world and the only democracy in the Middle East” to “Israel’s death rampage cannot be stopped” without anyone admitting they were ever wrong about anything
