This sucks so much man wtf

Climate change increasing the cost of food items, many of which are significant contributors to climate change 🤔 #HowWeFuel

I've been involved in this CH4 vs CO2 thing for years, and indeed GWP* is a concise embodiment of the concept I proposed in my Annual Reviews article on short lived climate pollution. I cannot understand why something like GWP*, which demonstrably

When was the last time you heard a politician in the media asked anything like- -How will you make sure asylum seekers can reach the UK safely & refugees are protected? -How will you make sure people coming to this country to work or study are treated equally & with respect? I cannot remember.

Not being in opposition doesn't mean you have to do the exact opposite of every positive thing you stood for in opposition. That's not how it's supposed to work. That's not how any of this is supposed to work www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“Students continue to believe that brainstorming with AI helps them get to good arguments, but I have not seen any proof of that.” Industry reps tell students (accurately) that they won’t get jobs if they don’t use AI, and no amount of critical thinking instruction will change that. It’s maddening.

The full judgment has now been published and can be viewed here The fact so many people have been arrested and charged as a result of the proscription was core to the ruling www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. Perfection.

Bloody brilliant 👇

Anyone interested in gleaning true information from the internet is going to have to cultivate a trusted collection of sources rather than relying on search or social media. Dare we hope for a renaissance of the RSS reader?

One of the most challenging aspects of the climate crisis is that it becomes harder to solve as it proceeds, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation. It isn't something that can be put off until tomorrow without serious penalty.

“We are witnessing major banks bankroll a fire sale of the world’s rainforests” "EU banks, topped by BNP Paribas and Rabobank, earned $3.5bn, while British banks made $1.2bn, with HSBC, Aberdeen Group and Schroders gaining the highest returns. Chinese financial institutions also secured $1.2bn…"

Perpetrators of GENOCIDE are not peacemakers.

Holy crap. This is terrible. The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

"Ms Reeves won’t like being compared to Liz Truss, but..." Yep. Treating nature and environmental protests as a joke isn't a good look. It's out of step with the public, and it's just naff

This is excellent. Migration isn't a thing we can stop: we've set the climate in motion, it's driven by planetary physics. The real choices we have are how to live with new people. Surely the *worst* option – for everyone – is to scapegoat, segregate, ban from working, dehumanise and reject

There are no honest winners in a "crackdown on immigration"

[Real "end times" feel about this one. Apropos of which: "The Age of Stupid" was supposed to be a warning, not a prophecy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Age... 🤦‍♂️]

I love how Russell T Davies always uses his platform to fight for progress - I hate how it is always so necessary

News that shocks no one: Carbon offsets do nothing for climate.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

How many of those who voted Labour in last year wanted more and more arms sales to perpetrators of war crimes and genocide? Who in Government looked at the country that elected them to power and concluded that what the people want is to dehumanise the vulnerable and empower the psychopaths? Wtf

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be. Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Smoke and mirrors drivel There is no such thing as sustainable aviation fuel We need a prohibative levy on the minority that flies for fun every other weekend No new airport expansion and a ban on private jets And train not plane for domestic travel www.theguardian.com/business/202...

History repeats. That’s why in Europe we have the ECHR. 🇪🇺

Hmm. With solar energy, the big explosions take place 93 million miles away

Brilliant article by a teacher highlighting the current dire situation for teachers and kids every winter when it comes to infection risk and spread. We continue to fight for our kids to have the right to breathe clean air. stevebheadteacher.wordpress.com/2025/09/30/d...

My latest on The Climate Brink: Is this the most embarrassing error in the DOE Climate Working Group Report? The DOE CWG authors confuse detection and attribution with emergence.

The world has lost its most powerful advocate for nature and hope. Yet many remain who will continue her legacy and I know she will continue to inspire generations more.

Remember when Starmer and Co backed away from ULEZ policies when Lozza Fox and other idiots were out vandalising traffic cameras? Yeah, but environmental regulations need to be reduced. Fair dues to Sadiq Khan.

Of all the responses to the climate crisis I could imagine in the '90s, I never expected fetishising performative ignorance, unsustainability and uncontrolled pollution would be up there. Our fascination with this shitty thoughtless minority is weird too. I hope we learn to grow bored of them soon

Israel’s ecocide in Gaza sends this message: even if we stopped dropping bombs, you couldn’t live here @georgemonbiot.bsky.social @theguardian.com

The 'where do the elements come from' question continues to be one of the most compelling stories in astrophysics. And it still has some way to go youtu.be/8WFcbqBDHQM?...

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

ok this breakdown of AI writing indicators is incredible. Huge shout-out to the Wikipedia community for this

This weekend marks 200 years since the first passenger train journey in the UK. I created timeline entries content, including developments completely unsurprising today but progressive at the time, like: • a carriage roof for passengers travelling with the cheapest tickets • female train drivers

‘The reason so many in the country are going far right is because [you tried to make us woke] [you pushed for diversity] [you didn’t talk about immigration enough] [you pronounce it Farij] is getting really old now, peeps. Take some responsibility for yourself. Just say you love racism.

Correct or not, it's all fake. And it's all so *naff* What an absurd destructive waste this thing is.

Happy 120th birthday, special relativity! Albert Einstein introduced special relativity in the paper "On The Electrodynamics Of Moving Bodies," published in Annalen der Physik #OTD in 1905. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 Manuscript: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... English: www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einst...

There's a really nice explanation (with clear graphics) in this @quantamagazine.bsky.social article of why most molecules in the atmosphere (oxygen & nitrogen) don't act as greenhouse gases, but a lot of the far less numerous ones (like carbon dioxide and methane) do. A great teaching aid :)
