Americans: it takes just a minute to submit a comment to the EPA asking them to preserve the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which finds carbon dioxide emissions to be dangerous to public health/welfare..it underpins all subsequent federal regulation of CO2 emissions www.regulations.gov/commenton/EP...

This represents the triumph of vested interests over victims It’s increasingly clear that plastics are damaging ecosystems and health The industry knows this. Governments know this. But they actively prevent global action to keep the economic status quo www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israeli protesters holding pictures of starving Palestinian children and calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza clashed with police on Thursday in Tel Aviv.

The ruling from the International Court of Justice last week is genuinely a big fucking deal. It makes it a legal obligation for countries to address climate change. Yes, even the ones not signed on to Paris. Yes, even the U.S. More from me & @rishpardikar.bsky.social drilled.media/news/ijc-1

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

Pope Francis has died this morning at the age of 88. His final message, on Easter Sunday, called for an end to “deplorable” violence in Gaza, Sudan and around the world www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social. The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. Our task is to build a movement strong enough to stop them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Morgan Stanley planning for a 3°C world is an astonishing admission. It's a commitment to business as usual while writing off billions of lives and, in all likelihood, dozens of nation states.

Feeling grateful to have made time to see @fernadovalladares.bsky.social communicate, with empathy and wit, the deeply alarming social-ecological crises driven by our growth-based economies, and what to do about them. Gracias 🙏 Check out his important work here (in Spanish): www.valladares.info

A really cool new study on the impact of climate activism has just dropped! Some highlights: 1) "There is strong evidence that climate activism shifts public opinion and media coverage in a pro-climate direction, but this varies by context and the tactics employed."

our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.

Whenever I post about climate, skeptical folks inevitable respond with this graph. So I decided to do something radical: actually read the underling scientific paper and ask the authors. As it turns out, it actually says the opposite of what skeptics claim: www.theclimatebrink....

…which is both unconstitutional and obviously fascistic.

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests. So, best we share all the footage we can here! This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu. 🇹🇷 #Turkey

🚨NEW: This Is Abundance, on The Climate Laundry. Obviously I couldn't resist: I've said some things about Ezra Klein's terrible book.

I've started a three-part series of articles as preparation for an upcoming podcast series on how captured economics stole our climate - and what we can do about it. As @vegardbeyer.bsky.social put it "working with the garage door open" 😅 Comments welcome. P1 here: medium.com/@katyrshield...
