Name me another building that's barely known beyond the US but deserves global recognition more than @upittpress.bsky.social's magnificent Cathedral of Learning? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedr... (okay, okay, I hear you too Buffalo City Hall...)

Big Oil would like nothing more than EVs to be regarded like diesels were in my youth - niche vehicles driven mostly by vegetarians, socialists and French people. Often all three. Sadly for them, that horse has already bolted - all the way to China... www.economist.com/business/202...

Turns out recycled polyester clothing sheds microplastics worse than virgin fabrics do. Brands like @patagonia.com have dined out for far too long on 'sustainable' products that are actually part of the problem, not the solution... www.euronews.com/green/2025/1...

'When [mainstream politicians] dismiss large parts of the electorate as bigots, they come across as intolerant and smug. And when they warn that populism will destroy their vision of what Europe should be, it encourages voters who are desperate to shake things up.' www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

MoD Ajax project is approaching HS2 levels of embarrassing. Chose platform that could handle 26 tonnes, final design weighs almost 2x that. Could have procured proven hardware from Sweden years ago but no, too easy. British exceptionalism strikes again... www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Great to see all those wind turbines that don't work are generating more than 52% of the UK's total grid demand as we speak

Better not to have any bird-feeders in your garden than to have some you rarely bother to disinfect... another of my favourite hallmarks of the innate cognitive dissonance of many so-called 'nature-lovers'...

Still can't believe a media outlet of @deutschewelle.dw.com's excellence missed the chance to headline this one: 'Land of the Riesling Sun' Solar energy protects German vineyards from climate change – DW – 11/30/2025

Shit like this doesn't get reported enough... 'The sudden decimation by bird flu of the world's largest seal species has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, and the ecosystems shaped by these majestic animals.' www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

Maybe a stupid question but instead of singling-out EVs, why doesn’t @teamlabouruk.bsky.social just change the rules so that passenger cars are based on weight? EV drivers would automatically end up footing bigger % of tax burden while carmakers would be incentivised to sell fewer stupid SUVs?

'The scale of the renewables revolution in China is almost too vast for the human mind to grasp. By the end of last year, the country had installed 887 gigawatts of solar-power capacity—close to double Europe’s and America’s combined total.' www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

At a UN mercury summit in Geneva, countries agreed to end mercury use in dental fillings by 2034 — but took no major steps to curb its use in small-scale gold mining, now the leading source of mercury pollution worldwide. apnews.com/article/merc...

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

I'm not against lobbyists attending climate COPs but I DO think they should have to wear fancy dress, so everyone can see them coming... (what's that? They already are wearing the costumes of normal, empathetic humans?)

The Trump administration has finalized a $1.5 billion loan guarantee for an Indiana-based company to produce ammonia fertilizer

The search continues for any reference by BBC, Sky, or MSM in general whether Farage avoided stamp duty on his #ClactonHouse by using his girlfriend to buy it.. Or news on the fraud investigation that she’s embroiled in atm A suspected sighting was made but it turned out to be about Angela Rayner❗️

I think the thing for me about Labour and the Tories saying that the Greens 'wouldn't do things right' is that we've tried austerity, anti immigration approaches, brexit, ignoring the environment and not properly taxing wealth and THAT hasn't worked has it?

SO TRUE... 'The focus in Belém should be a plan to get results on climate action in the real world, rather than haggling over a political statement' (@pwatkinson.bsky.social via @climatechangenews.com) www.climatechangenews.com/2025/10/21/c...

It’s Back to the Future Day. Imagine building a time machine and going back to 1985 only to find Russia run by the KGB who started a brutal war they can't win and the USA is run by a deranged casino owner...

Our county's already very active #SmartphoneFreeChildhood crowd is increasingly turning its attention to the risks of widespread AI deployment in schools - with good reason, one might say, in the face of this kind of evidence...

Our regional lead for Latin America literally came up with the concept for the UN Sustainable Development Goals and then pushed them into being. Talk about a career-defining achievement. Great backstory here via Brown's alumni magazine: www.brownalumnimagazine.com/articles/202...

UK, EU, even US all have pretty similar China policies in which the rhetoric of threat gives way to the reality of cooperation, because the largest trade partner of 100+ countries can't be ignored. But we don't want to talk about that too much...
