Brilliant new ad campaign I just spotted at the Southwark tube station in London.

“Too many corporations are making record profits from climate devastation, with billions spent on lobbying, deceiving the public and obstructing progress.”

We are going to live in a world where the the marginal cost of electricity is very close to zero

Today a story I've spent months reporting and writing runs on @desmog.com and @theguardian.com. It's based on hundreds of exclusive documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial across Latin America and the Global South. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

We obtained hundreds of documents revealing how Exxon funded the rightwing Atlas Network to spread climate denial in Latin America and all across the Global South. Read @geoffdembicki.bsky.social's exclusive story. www.desmog.com/2025/11/03/a...

Exxon funded rightwing thinktanks in a campaign to make the global south “less inclined” to support climate treaties, according to hundreds of previously unpublished documents New from @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @desmog.com

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:

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more. I've got details for Climate-Colored Goggles: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/cbs-news-g...

More troubling signs from the recent takeover of CBS news -- their climate team has been gutted and their new ED, Bari Weiss, has a long history of downplaying the climate crisis. @sammyroth.bsky.social www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/cbs-news-g...

OCT 30: Join us w/ @desmog.com, former EPA Administrator Bill Reilly, Sharon Lavigne of Rise St. James, & co-director of The White House Effect Bonni Cohen for an early screening & panel discussion about the political impact we can still create in the US. RSVP 👉 350org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

This is the problem - renewables not replacing fossil fuels but complementing them We need emissions to at least halve within 50 months, but they continue to head upwards Our prospects are truly dismal www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨New report: how the fossil fuel industry duped successive UK governments into pumping money into costly CCS schemes to ensure continued reliance on oil and gas.

Trump administration wants to roll back regulations on HFCs (very potent greenhouse gases) OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF THE APPLIANCE INDUSTRY.

“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.

70 years ago today, (Sept 22, 1955) a General Electric scientist warned about carbon dioxide build-up. C02 “may be having a greenhouse effect on our climate” because mankind is “contaminating the earth’s atmosphere faster than nature can clean it.” allouryesterdays.info/2025/09/22/7...

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.

UK should stop investing in carbon capture for power, government adviser says. #CCS “a gift to the oil and gas industry, and carry on the fiction that somehow enormous amounts of public money should enable them to keep doing it”. www.ft.com/content/5595...

Another reason to stop setting all forms of carbon on fire, including fossil fuels and trees.

It was only a matter of when, not if... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 1/

How much more of the future do we want to let them destroy?

"The plastic industry, like many other industries, has sought to blame individuals for problems that are largely created by those industries in the first place. By developing markets that didn't exist before for its own products." - @rebeccajohn.bsky.social 🎙️: bit.ly/3UwWLSn

Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal is once again publishing propaganda on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, this time by printing pseudoscience.

Your daily reminder: "The overnight rule" - anyone who says something like 'you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight' is actually arguing for phasing them out as slowly as possible, and arguing against a made-up person to cover and distract from this archive.ph/C0vh3 [article from Oct 2023]

The only way out is through! A deep dive into a mountain of plastic waste, recycled myths and possible solutions with the great Green and Red Podcast. Featuring @davisallen.bsky.social from @climateintegrity.org and my @desmog.com investigation supported by the Fund for Investigative Journalism

~NEW EPISODE~ One Word: Plastics! We talk w/ @rebeccajohn.bsky.social & @davisallen.bsky.social about the fraud of plastic recycling, and the failure of the global plastics treaty negotiations as the industry undermines attempts to get a cap on plastic production. 🎙️: bit.ly/3UwWLSn

DuPont knew. Plastics knew. We can't recycle our way out of the plastic problem. Earthday.org calls for global cuts in plastic production, citing latest findings by @desmog.com

#PlasticsTreaty #Regulate #CourageNotCompromise "the plastics industry has been actively deceiving the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics” Plastics "recycling" is largely a fraud that the industry has perpetuated since at least 1974 Read @rebeccajohn.bsky.social👇

Nice FT citing Ireland, where data centre power demand has massively outpaced clean power growth - meaning increased burning of fossil fuels You can't rely on an assumption of infinite, exponential, unstoppable renewable energy to excuse data centre expansionism. www.ft.com/content/0f61...

Newly discovered correspondence reveals that executives of one of the world’s largest plastic producers, DuPont, acknowledged as early as 1974 that recycling its plastic products was not possible.  ✍️ - @rebeccajohn.bsky.social for @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/08/05/m...

Waste pickers in Nairobi say that as the global market for "plastic credits" expands, waste collection companies are cutting them out of the market for high-value recyclable or reusable plastic.

New at DeSmog: @rachelsherrington.bsky.social reveals how the meat industry might have teamed up with prominent environmental groups to convince consumers that beef can be "climate friendly," even as the industry's emissions of planet-heating pollutants increase. #climatechange

"[An ambitious #PlasticsTreaty can be achieved through] control of chemicals of concern in plastics, and safeguards against substitutions; reduction targets for plastic production, and addressing legacy pollution ..." - @UNHumanRights (6/) #BreakFreeFromPlastic #ToxicPlastics

Noting the usual at INC meetings, unfortuately: The water containers in the UN buildings are made of polycarbonate, that is Bisphenol A, one of the very chemicals of concern countries seek to ban in the #plasticstreaty. Tap water is perfectly safe to drink in Geneva.

Plastic is often seen as a cheap material but scientists in The Lancet argue it is expensive when including damage to health One estimate of the health damage from just three plastic chemicals – PBDE, BPA and DEHP – in 38 countries was $1.5tn a year. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“It's further proof that the plastics industry has been actively deceiving the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics” says @davisallen.bsky.social @climateintegrity.org New evidence shows DuPont knew 50 years ago recycling "not feasible"

NEW: The president of one of the world's largest plastics producers acknowledged in 1974 that recycling plastic was "not feasible." It's “further proof that the plastics industry has been actively deceiving the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics” says @davisallen.bsky.social.

“The danger here is delay,” says Rachel Radvany @ciel.org "We’ve seen more and more plastics lobbyists show up at each round of negotiations. Their ultimate goal is to not allow true solutions to happen because it goes against their profit margins.” New evidence on false solutions @desmog.com

“It's further proof that the plastics industry has been actively deceiving the public for decades about the recyclability of plastics” says Davis Allen of @climateintegrity.org New evidence shows DuPont knew 50 years ago from @desmog.com

“Best case you’re talking about is one or two cycles of recycling before that original plastic cannot be recycled again into a viable product ... That’s not a circular economy. That’s a cul-de-sac on the way to waste” says Patrick Boyle of @ciel.org New from @desmog.com @pkgboyle.bsky.social
