“The climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.” This should be THE story everyday.

and yes, the BBC has enormous problems *but* *gestures at everything*

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It's a small part of the broader bloodbath, but the guy who made his fortune selling *books* online closing the *books* section of the newspaper he owns deserves some kind of special medal for hypocrisy. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

66% of recent increases in UK energy bills has come from wholesale gas prices, say @ukerc.bsky.social - 17% from grid charges, 13% from extra policy costs Despite gas accounting for 1/3 of generation, its price drives cost of electricity up to 90% of the time www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

NEW: Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC "Volatile, gas-linked market prices – not green policies, as some misleading claims have suggested – dominate the real-terms increase in bills since 2021." www.carbonbrief.org/expensive-ga...

Reminder that in the UK an incoming radical, populist government would have immediate access to immense, unchecked executive power. And the current government is doing nothing to protect us from that.

For such a softly spoken guy, Ben doesn't hold back on the Trump administration: "Insane. That’s the only word for it. Removing our ability to measure and monitor how the world around us is changing, makes no sense whatsoever."

“No one wants to go in there when a random fucking tweet can change the entire foreign policy of the country.” US oil groups warn they will need guarantees to invest in Venezuela

A warning I constantly make: as climate activists, we must denounce how frames of national sovereignty/interest are used not only to advance fossil fuel operations, but also to persecute and slander climate justice points and advocates.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

This is a chilling development. The move comes as environmental groups have struggled to find their footing and raise money under President Donald Trump, whose threats to investigate left-leaning organisations and rapid-fire dismantling of environmental rules have hamstrung green groups.

60 yrs ago today (Nov 5, 1965), the 1st US government report to warn about climate change was published. "Restoring the Quality of Our Environment" included warning of C02 build-up and sea-level rise/melting ice-caps. allouryesterdays.info/2025/11/04/6... 1/n

Since NOAA is not updating its GHG graphics, I thought I would update CO2 this month. Based on the available data, CO2 came in at 424.98 ppm for Oct., 2025, up 2.60 ppm from Oct., 2024. Data: gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/... Here is the most recent Keeling curve:

“The German Meteorological & Physical Societies warn: "There is already a risk of warming by 3 degrees Celsius by 2050." Some media are interpreting this as climate researchers contradicting each other. But the IPCC already warned of up to 3C for moderate emissions and up to 3.4C for high emissions.
