The Bruges Group have decided to go into children's literature and it's like they threw ideas into ChatGPT and got this. So many questions. First: Why is AI David Tennant on the jacket? 1/3

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

We’re going to have one unhappy dog on December 26th.

We often hear 1850-1900 was a pre-industrial period. That’s such greenwashing BS. The entire British railroad boom and bust happened by 1840. Here is an example of real pre-industrial music from 1775 by composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed when he was 18 years old.

Important end-of-the-year article on government priorities: fight tooth and nail to defend nature-killing activities like the nitrates derogation, do next to nothing to support nature protection or restoration. The result? Species and ecosystems continue to plummet.

Yes... Crucial climate research like this (building on findings from e.g. our @drjamesehansen.bsky.social et al. and CERESMIP, @climateofgavin.bsky.social et al. 2023 work) should never be paywalled. These are open access: academic.oup.com/oocc/article... www.frontiersin.org/journals/cli...

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy. The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

You'd have to be really very stupid to believe this one. But maybe that's it. Maybe Farage’s followers are just thick and gullible.

The treatment of the hunger strikers by the British state is truly barbarous they've been convicted of no crime, are being held w/o trial, & have been on remand for over twice the remand custody limit they've been subject to degrading & humiliating treatment, & are now in a critical state

#ClimateStrike #Dublin week 366!. 7 years this month and still here. Here's to more #FridaysForFuture in 2026 and, more importantly, some climate action. @philkearney.bsky.social @trocaire.bsky.social

Utilities have always had a monopoly. They aren't ready for what is coming.

Winter Solstice today. Likely record warm Christmas on tap. Perfect opportunity to explain why we have winter and can still have a warming climate. Enjoy. My thoughts www.forbes.com/sites/marsha... --

On this December solstice, for those in the Northern Hemisphere, the bleak mid winter is about to arrive.

Andrew Tate - trafficker and abuser of women, turns out to be useless when fighting even a novice male boxer. He’s been punching down most of his life. When he had to fight a novice low-level boxer, he got punched down.

I also appreciate that they highlighted @waytowinus.bsky.social's recent report summarizing extensive research on the issues that led to the D's defeat in 2024. If we are not honest, we can't learn. newrepublic.com/article/2042...

Interesting closed loop circular wood reuse scenario. Key to overcome the more than lame assumption that wood is burned after an strategically short LCA life in buildings in the foreseeable future. a) It has to last much longer, design accrdgly! b) People will not just burn things >2050. #holzbau

It’s really remarkable. Most don’t even know what’s happening because they outsourced their critical thinking to the Times, the New Yorker etc But on a fundamental human level how can someone not at least find it interesting watching a whole planet shift geological ages in the blink of an eye?

With a dozen crazy events like this now happening every day I almost admire the discipline it takes for corp news & white liberals to still, even as we cross 1.5C warming, pretend we’re not in a real time global emergency.

When an extreme event hits a place that has no built resilience, that place, is more often than not taken below a tipping point from which complete recovery is not possible. This leads to permanent loss. We see this playing out everywhere. news.un.org/en/story... #ClimateCrisis

Your 'moment of doom' for Dec. 20, 2025 ~ Choking on hope. "Under a +2.7°C increase, projections suggest that by 2100, only around 110 glaciers would remain in Central Europe. This figure represents just 3% of today’s total." www.sustainability-times.com/climate/new-...

From there on it will get ugly fast as it will be as much a result of strengthening feedbacks as the jump will further reinforce all the feedbacks now coming into motion... #Climate #Earth

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Billionaires, while building their own luxury bunkers for “apocalypse insurance," are funding groups telling Dems to forget about climate action. We just published a memo laying out why that'd be a huge political mistake. aaronregunberg.substack.com/p/this-data-...

Some great reporting here. I talked to Wil about the project and got a few quotes. Just one more example of how when you observe these facilities in the real world and just don't take their promises as fact, the truth gets ugly fast.

A year ago today, during my travels through Latin America, I was completely awestruck by the breathtaking Cocora Valley in Colombia, home to the world’s tallest palm trees, which can tower up to 60 meters high. The landscape felt truly otherworldly.

No limit on embodied carbon emissions in Germany. #Bauturbo building permits: +16,6 % single family sprawl 🚘 -1,1 % duplexes +13,2 % multifamily homes This government wants to be forced by the EU to shift construction towards being an actual solution to problems. www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pr...

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

Walz: "It's very clear that the entire federal government is weaponized against Minnesota. They're threatening us. And this is what happens when you have a floundering presidency and it's about those ballrooms. Now we're back on transgender folks."

HS1 Ltd is expanding the capacity at St Pancras... 🤔 I have known for AGES this is in planning (and was leaked some documents about it, also ages ago). I can't tell if this story is some new plan, or re-hashing the old ones. In any case it's welcome! #CrossChannelRail www.ft.com/content/ff71...
