Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

This is all on Elon Musk.

Today is a good day to be an American who doesn’t want to see oligarchic authoritarianism replace democracy. Enjoy.

Huge congratulations to Harvard’s Naomi Oreskes for winning the Volvo prize! She is a pioneer in unmasking the financial interests and methods behind climate science denial. I’m proud to have published with her how Exxon knew exactly what they were doing. www.environment-prize.com/laureates/na...

Love the Jays and Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you for sharing this video. I wept with hope. It is a must view.

God I am listening to @aoc.bsky.social unapologetically celebrating cities -- urbanity, diversity, creativity, decency -- and it is giving me life. Nothing but respect for *my* president.

Hurricane #Melissa explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm over exceptionally warm Caribbean waters. Here's how climate change amplified this dangerous hurricane—from its rapid strengthening to the catastrophic rainfall ahead ⤵️ youtube.com/shorts/VtbZZ...

Some perspective on this year's sea surface temperatures and recent warming across the North Pacific... 🌊 This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every average January-September period from 1854-2025 using ERSSTv5 data.

"Walkable, dense, urban metropolitan areas are associated with higher economic activity, with the largest 35 urban metros in the U.S. accounting for 19.1 percent of U.S. GDP despite only making up 1.2 percent of U.S. land and 6.8 percent of the total U.S. population."

So no terrorism then?

This is a clear, moral statement that I believe is consistent with US national interests and those of New Yorkers.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Record high temperatures are currently being set across the northernmost portions of the #Arctic. In fact, it is effectively ice-free on the Atlantic side of the Arctic all the way up to about 85°N latitude! This includes record low sea ice around Svalbard. Graphic by zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

Keaton was best known for her roles in Annie Hall, Reds and The Godfather films.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Just felt like sharing this today. No reason.

Mordecai Ogada is never afraid of challenging received opinion and always worth listening to. Before mythologising Jane Goodall we should recognise that she wasn't a hero to everyone in conservation.

The world’s #wind and #solar farms have generated more electricity than coal plants for the first time this year, marking a turning point for the global power system, according to research www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If I were dictator of America I would mandate that general tax revenue be used to install a large battery (say, 200MWh) next to every distribution feeder on the US grid. That would, in a stroke, solve basically all our grid problems & unlock *trillions* of dollars of economic growth & development.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

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

All latitude bands were warmer than average over the last 3 months. This was particularly notable across the Antarctic around the South Pole (austral winter).

M7.8 earthquake offshore Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky region ~2 hrs ago was tsunamigenic. This quake shook the seafloor offshore Canada ~4800km distant, as measured by @oceannetworks.ca sensors that help us to #knowtheocean Stay tuned as we monitor our other sensors that track tsunamis.

This is why they’re deleting studies

I know my Bluesky friends will appreciate this. Carl died in the mid 90s at Cornell, my Alma Mater. Carl was a role model of mine. Not sure who controls his account but they made my day!
