Confirming my scoop from last week, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced this deal with TotalEnergies today. Story w/ @bradplumer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/c...

ahh let me just log in to linkedin...

can't stop thinking about how miserable this would be to run to

ah yes, this is all the climate scientists' fault

Welp. Author admits to the Atlantic that she used AI as a "collaborative editor"

why are all the best hate-reads behind paywalls

Academic databases are starting to show signs of being affected by AI-generated hallucinated research. If the publishing system is the immune system of science, it is not in the best of health, writes Andrew Gray.

Federal permitting delays and recent stop-work orders under the Trump administration have slowed construction of several offshore wind projects while essentially freezing further investment in many others.

if i had a child and $55k to spend on tuition every year you can bet i'm not sending my kid to an ai school this is so incredibly dumb

He could read this article of ours if he wants a slightly deeper analysis www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

"The U.S. does not have mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) for beef, so consumers often don’t know where their beef was produced." that's low key kinda wild www.iatp.org/shrinking-ca...

oh man. this prompted me to go look up how my net worth compares to the rest of america and wapo did not hold back: "Your household’s net worth does not meet any of those definitions of rich."

1000%

i've been patiently waiting for someone to archive an article on a website i don't want to subscribe to so i can read it but i'm starting to think it just won't happen. it's been two weeks since publication

wtf

my apartment is so cold i am physically shaking with shivers and it's making it hard to post what the heck

I think this thread is a bit unfair. Most of these articles are simply not saying individual actions don't matter—just that they're not enough on their own.

Do energy consumers—especially in the Northeast and New England—know how much Trump's war on wind is costing them?? Fantastic analysis by Seth Feaster and Dennis Wamsted of IEEFA—hard to read without getting really mad

one of my friends has lost ALL of her final four picks. it's honestly kind of impressive

huh. $2 billion for an ai cow collar company www.techinasia.com/news/ai-cow-...

collecting cow poop all in one place is also quite deadly, in addition to being bad for the environment www.vox.com/future-perfe...

"A Wisconsin project dubbed the “world’s largest manure biogas project” emits nearly 5,000 metric tons of climate-warming methane annually, roughly equivalent to emissions from 30,000 gasoline-powered vehicles" www.thenewlede.org/2026/03/manu...

"If the governor is successful, the 2019 law will not be enforced until 2030, the same year the state was supposed to have reduced emissions 40 percent." do i even live in a blue state or not???? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/n...

Nice article by @jessimckenzi.bsky.social about this really weird paper on ocean heat content. This may be the new wave in climate denial since AI allows people to write science-y sounding papers that are completely bonkers pretty easily. thebulletin.org/2026/03/a-cl...

chatter on the other site says this 2025 modern love essay sounds like ai. i remember reading it last year and not thinking much of it, but certainly didn't clock it as ai. but now...sus i'm just bummed. i don't want to have to live my life having to read everything asking myself is this ai?

folks,

hope is the jayhawk with feathers

i started working on this um, a while ago, and it doesn't feel especially urgent, but just in case you're curious about the classified 'national security threat' posed by wind farms (if you remember that): judges have had the opp to review the classified docs and said "uh, no"

The supposed national security threat that the Trump administration has used as an excuse to try to kill five energy projects that would provide cheaper, cleaner electricity to 20 states and Washington D.C. is largely a mirage, writes Jessica McKenzie @jessimckenzi.bsky.social.

just got to the murderous ai ep in xfiles season 1 and after the first death the computer says "file deleted" lololol

shared all these wonderful ideas with her (thank youu) and talked about the ideas she already had. seems very interested in doing something with underground microbial communities so pointed her to www.spun.earth

ok i know it's saturday but i'm trying to help my sister think of an interesting/exciting use of remote sensing that she can write a paper on. she's already done a big project on using remote sensing for tracking invasive plants in ks (cool!) so it needs to be something different/new. any ideas?

i do sincerely apologize for being part of the problem (posting screenshots from one social media platform to another) but all of the good hate-posts are over there!!!

this explains a lot

chatgpt really running a whole ad that's like "we can help you stick to your running goals this year" when the internet, google, and reddit already exist

“Chronic hunger” at American concentration camps reported by USA Today. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

well this prompted me to text the family group chat abcnews.com/US/dangerous... snowing last week, nearly 90 today...

🎵 i got a feeling, that today's gonna be a two pot day ooo hoo today's the day, let's work a lot i got my coffee, i'll drink it up fill up my cup, caffeinated! and then we'll brew it againn let's brew it, let's brew it, let's brew it cause i got a feeling, that today's gonna be a two pot dayy 🎶

my first thought reading this: i should start soaking my rancho gordo beans before cooking my second thought: are we really this effed?

"publishing executives want to ensure that their employees can use the technology for tasks like creating marketing copy, audio narration & translation" there's not going to be any clarity or guardrails until publishers resolve this internal inconsistency—ai for me but not for thee is not workable

any wind experts know what the possible legal justification for cancelling these wind leases might be, if the company doesn't accept the payoff? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/c...

suddenly feeling like i missed an opportunity to coin the phrase "bullslop asymmetry principle"

Nothing defines our modern moment better than the “Bullshit Asymmetry Principle”

babe wake up the climate dads are feuding

feel like there is some very understandable fatigue with ai stories but all the same this one by @joshdzieza.bsky.social seems to be undershared and underappreciated. nightmare fuel.

so they wrote this with ai right? "these aren't just names on a list. They are talented, committed colleagues..."

Garbage publications from climate deniers reaches new high ... actually a new low. This one is one for the ages. thebulletin.org/2026/03/a-cl... #ClimateBrawl

when i was sadposting about being a [climate] journalist a while back and complained that it sometimes feels "routine or repetitive," well, this is kinda what i meant. people were writing about how society/govts/politicians are delaying climate action before i was even born. isn't that exhausting?!

I wrote about government's track records of suppressing climate change intelligence assessments last month for @thebulletin.org, and how this practice runs the risk of aligning with climate denialism efforts (like Gabbard's) in the U.S. thebulletin.org/2026/02/deny...

i am honestly shocked at how many writers are still on the other site. don't they find it humiliating to have to double post every time they want to share a link to their work? "guys gals don't forget the LINK IS IN THE REPLY 👇"
