There are CONCENTRATION CAMPS in the US in the year 2026. It’s up to all of us to shut them down and free them all.

My appearance on Bloomberg last week ruffled some feathers because I don't have "skin in the game" (IE: money in the market). This is because AI boosters can't imagine somebody with a moral position on an industry run by grifters and sold with lies. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowing-down/

Free newsletter: The AI ROI debate has come at worst time for Anthropic and OpenAI - two companies that can’t afford to slow down thanks to their $1.1 trillion in compute commitments and a data center buildout that needs a trillion in annual revenue by 2030. www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-slowing-down/

“Amsterdam is set to ban climate-damaging advertising [fossil fuel & meat adverts] in public spaces, following a trend spreading across Dutch cities. France has also enacted legislation outlawing adverts from non-renewable energy companies, & one Italian city has plans to do the same.” #UrbanTruth

"Gish Gallop" is a debating term for an opponent who makes so many claims that "it's impossible to address them in the time available" (it's named for Creationist Duane Gish): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_ga... I think about the Gish Gallop whenever I'm asked to comment on AI. 1/

Mysterious ‘cold blob’ in the Atlantic suggests the AMOC is weakening www.newscientist.com/article/2529...

We need ~30 years of data from the AMOC to be able to finally determine if it's actually collapsing. We're at 20 years of data. Removing this now means we can't definitively determine a potential AMOC collapse that could result in substantial climate disruptions. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

Reposting from Ben Collins: "3 years ago I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it." He talks about being in editorial meetings and being instructed to couch the truth in a lie. He was working for NBC.

Swiss firms managing more than $270 billion in combined assets plan to stop buying debt issued by some of the world’s biggest oil and gas producers. By @lstamm.bsky.social (from 6/3) 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lawsuit documents show Shell continued operating a compromised pipeline in Nigeria despite knowing it posed a pollution risk. Spills between 2011 and 2013 killed thousands of hectares of mangroves in the Niger Delta, a vital biodiversity ecosystem. Victoria Schneider and David Akana report.

🇺🇸 decimation of 🇲🇽 ag (& other industries) via NAFTA & destroying / hoarding Colorado River didn’t help 🇲🇽either. So people found other ways to survive. In ag, many work in CA & in other 🇺🇸states -we treat them like dirt, deport& terrorize 🇺🇸plays a role in this & has very filthy hands @ufw.bsky.social

Thanks but also c'mon we need a ban on trade with Israel full stop. Did you miss the ongoing genocide in [email protected]

We are deeply concerned at the vast rise in violent Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians, and at settlement expansion, which forces Palestinians off their land. The Israeli government itself is clear this is designed to prevent a 2 state solution ever being realised. (2/2)

Judge on Nowak murder: The attending officers “honestly believed” Digwa's “convincing but wholly false narrative. that he, not Nowak, was the victim”. "...never mind the judge. Along comes the demagogue, aided and abetted by his cheerleaders in the media, declaring that he has a unique insight"

The latest installment of a story that just gets grimmer and grimmer. If you thought such appointments ended with the Tories, you'll be sorely disappointed. www.ft.com/content/747e...

A central estimate for 2C doesn't meet international agreement: The Paris Accord states "well below 2C" as upper limit. Kevin's whole approach is: stick to ALL of the Paris agreement, equity and all! So he uses a 83% prob budget: it results in WELL BELOW 2C. Which law allows your 1000Gt, Pierre❓❓

I'm fairly confident that @kevinclimate.bsky.social would ask us to point to where exactly we disagree with his logic if we want to defend a different judgement www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

"Keeping warming below 2°C requires global emissions cuts of 8% every yr... For wealthy nations such as the UK, which repeatedly claim they will lead the transition, the rate of cuts needs to be in excess of 10% yr on yr. Contrast that with the UK gov's enthusiasm for widespread airport expansion!"

If the media actually explained the implications of Reform’s policies, would anyone support them? thedailybritain.co.uk/peter-stefan...

Attached is my "two penn'orth" on how to relate the 2°C carbon budget to our climate commitments. I take the UNFCCC, Paris, ICJ, etc. commitments at face value, and express my views without fear or favour and regardless of political sensibilities. Always happy to hear what I've got wrong.

Dental deserts aren't unique to Makerfield. Across the country, people can't get a dentist appointment. This Government talks a big game but has no ambition and no proper plan. Alongside The BDA, I'm pushing them to stop talking and start fixing this. www.mirror.co.uk/news/health/...

I don't think Anthropic really meant it this way but what an amazing demonstration of why generative AI's energy consumption is only getting worse, and dirtier. "Improvements" only come from nesting chatbots within chatbots, rather than any fundamental smarter design. It's Bitcoin x 1000

RECORD HEAT IN VANUATU There isn't a single tropical country which is not breaking heat records and Oceania is doing its share: New June record of highest Temperature in The Espiritu Santo Island of VANUATU 31.9C at Luganville AP (Pekoa), beating the record set just 1 year ago.

Do our politicians act like they are properly aware that their actions today are changing climate on Earth for thousands of years to come? Do they have sleepless nights and intensive exchange with experts over this huge responsibility?

This is the second time this has happened. CBS News's Investigative unit got a retired ICE agent to break down the Good shooting frame-by-frame. On the record, he said the agents were entirely out of line. The piece was only posted online and never broadcast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ywL...

By my count there have been at least three opportunities for Labour to properly blame Hunt for unaffordable tax cuts and reverse the decision in the interest of national and energy security: when they found the fiscal black hole; when Trump started threatening NATO; and when the Iran war started.

Frustrating that Tooze still hasn't twigged: If subsidies aren't robust enough, you still can't make reliable profits in solar and wind power generation, no matter how cheap the panels are.

It is bleakly funny that the British police remain institutionally racist, and police power is disproportionately deployed to quash ‘left-wing’ protests (climate, Palestine etc), but police are only ever injured or endangered by avowedly racist protestors, who enjoy indulgent soft-soap policing

Two-tier policing is real and ever-present. Black and Brown people experience it. Women experience it. Pro-Palestine and green protesters experience it. But the last people who would ever experience it are right-wing white men. They are the people with whom the police instinctively align.

"Hegseth said yesterday that these days European beaches are being stormed by 'dangerous ideologies carried by men on boats'. Is he right?" Lammy should condemn this rhetoric & explain why the right demonises refugees and asylum seekers. Instead he leans into it, legitimising it
