"Leave fossil fuels in the ground. It's so simple.This is the most important predicament humanity has ever faced and by design as a result of the enormous oppressive power of the fossil fuel industry, we're flunking it." George Monbiot. No time to waste. #ActOnClimate

Yeah! Because the climate emergency isn't nearly as important as Derek in Carshalton Beeches God given right to drive a diesel Mercedes through Sutton. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four. I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation. 🧵

I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.

Total success to the first college/university that pledges to be AI-free and brand it as an opportunity to receive a real education.

In Germany the only source of electricity that keeps growing and growing: renewable energy. Solar and wind keep expanding and even though nuclear is no more coal generation has already shrunk significantly and keeps falling.

How many times do we need to point this out? By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it. While weakening your own position. There's a vast amount of academic research showing this. But Labour will not listen. www.theguardian.com/law/2025/dec...

At 1.5°C, the atmosphere can hold over 10% more water vapor than it could in the pre-industrial period 1850-1900. The additional precipitation leads to car soup, airport soup, road soup, city soup, farm soup, and a hearty portion of global industrial civilization soup.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

med.stanford.edu/news/insight... It really is endless. And a reminder to folks who think the fossil fuel industry can be trustworthy "partners." UN Framework Convention on Tobacco control excludes that industry because they have demonstrated their true colors. Fossil fuel industry the same.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

The World Cup just gets more and more grotesque. It's a plaything for oligarchs and fascists. Indifference to atrocities, sponsored by petrostates that veto climate agreements while the planet burns. Theres something profoundly insiduously evil about continuing to treat it as a fun sporting event.

Look I get the urge to ignore science, I find it hard to accept that cheese is bad for you/jogging has a point/bourbon isn't a vegetable. It's normal, you get over it, whatever. What I don't get is ignoring science in the service of killing as many of your own voters as possible, for no reason

"£500m over 20 years is sod all," said @jakefiennes.bsky.social, responding to this week's announcement of govt funding for Landscape Recovery As Jake rightly points out, this is a fraction of the overall farming budget & not what was originally promised www.theguardian.com/environment/...

By far the most likely cause of human extinction is gullibility.

"[China] will not achieve the target of reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP nor the pledges to “strictly control” coal consumption growth and new coal-fired power plants" "The policy environment and target-setting for the next few years are concerning, raising the risk of an emission rebound"

I've been getting electricity from @goodenergyuk.bsky.social for 25 years, but they source a lot of their renewable energy from this stuff and I don't think it's excusable any more. It's time for change. Long, long trains from Liverpool docks to Drax rumble past my house every night. It's grim.

The endless control-freakery of animal agriculture. An industry built on suffering and death, with horrendous impacts on our environment and our health, that feels entitled to a fluffy image of being natural, good for us and stewards of the land. It's a scam. Of course it can't allow alternatives.

Brilliant. The media bias towards inequality over the past couple of weeks really has been comical www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Over 1,200 people have lost their lives in Southeast Asia after historic flooding. While oil and gas companies keep getting richer, ordinary people around the world are left struggling to survive.

A very important article about a long-looming threat to environmental progress embedded in many (perhaps most) trade treaties.

We can't really say this enough... > Anastasia Berg [at UCL Irvine] said that new research — and what she's hearing directly from colleagues across various industries — shows that employees who heavily rely on AI are losing core skills at a startling rate. www.businessinsider.com/ai-tools-are...

Generations from now, when historians study this period where we have perfect understanding of the problem, and brilliant, readily available solutions with all the resources necessary to implement them, they'll study cases like this to try to figure out why we kept drilling holes in our lifeboat.
