CLIMATE CRISIS CLUB 🪼

Get your Climate TV fix this morning.

How do you stop people obsessing about whether or not there's evidence you raped sex trafficked children?

@karenhao.bsky.social Watching you on Democracy Now. Fascinating interview. I sincerely wish you were in charge of the world. Thank you for enlightening us this morning. Great way to start the year!

@votegloriaj.bsky.social wishing you a happy new year. Midterm fix in 2026!

MIDTERM FIX IN 2026🪼

@michaelemann.bsky.social A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, PROFESSOR!🎩

KIMMEL, to the UK: “.. It may not seem like it, but we love you guys. .. We’re going through a bit of a wobble right now, but we’ll come around. .. Give us about three years.” @jimmykimmel.com

You’d be hard pressed to find a more positive, solutions oriented climate campaigner than Mike Hudema. This is his latest post. Scientists, activists, climate journalists have a new posture lately that resembles something like desperation. Mainstream news is killing us. #ClimateActionNow

Invasive lobular breast cancer accounts to 15 percent of all breast cancer cases, and is the sixth most common cancer affecting women. Yet, it still sits in the shadows of medical research, guidelines, and public awareness. yourvoiz.org/2025/12/20/t...

Hype. No form of CO₂ removal is a climate solution as long as we’re still releasing >40 billion tonnes of CO₂ every year from fossil fuel burning.

Doctors in Canada are weighing more than just financial compensation when determining where to settle and practise. Their own health is a concern. Annie Burns-Pieper reports. thenarwhal.ca/canada-docto...

Holiday cheer during these bleak times. Don’t let a bastard get you down, I say!

In light of policy arguments over the cost of climate action, a trio of economists ask: how much is climate change costing Americans right now? heatmap.news/economy/clim...

Climate shocks in Brazil are already reflected in UK supermarkets. Food becomes more expensive when crops fail, supply chains become less reliable, and families on tight budgets are hit hardest. monicapiccinini.medium.com/the-hidden-c...

Science is under attack, and I shudder to think about the consequences. I just finished reading "Science Under Siege" by @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social, and it’s one of the most compelling books I’ve read in a long time.

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.

Here’s something you can do…reduce or eliminate beef from your diet.🐄

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months" China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.

This study by my colleagues at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa shows that deep sea mining waste to be released near the ocean surface would disrupt marine food webs. The same would be true of grinding and spreading rocks in the ocean for CO₂ removal. 🌊

"The solution to the climate crisis isn’t going to come from fairy-dust-sprinkled flying unicorns. They don’t exist. The solution is going to come from everyone else, using every tool to push back against an ecocidal agenda driven by plutocrats, polluters, petrostates, propagandists & the press." 🌏

Couldn’t love this more.

This is typical of the kid gloves treatment of Bill Gates pivot toward Bjorn Lomborg-style climate downplaying that we're seeing from legacy media. The beltway reporters are entirely complicit in what some are rightly terming an ecocidal plutocratic agenda. www.axios.com/2025/10/28/g...

@michaelemann.bsky.social Professor, we just saw you and Dr. Hotez on PBS news hour. Excellent interview. You two are amazing! Bravo 🙌🏼

I think more people would buy toilet paper with Trump's face on it.

Did all of that really happen in one week? It sure did. Hard to take a breath these days, so hopefully the Weekend Reads simplifies it! Humour always added 'cos it's vital for sanity #WeekendRead #thepolycrisis #TheShitShow #UncommonCourage andreatedwards.com/2025/09/240-...

Graham Greene, beloved actor. Great human being. Thank you, may you be at peace.

Hurricane Erin left our shore with mounds of churned up seaweed.

The insurrectionists were smart not to bring sandwiches to the capital on January 6. Otherwise they’d be in real trouble now.
