Just signed the European Declaration of Conscientious Objection to end academic collaborations and bilateral agreements with Israeli institutions complicit in severe violations of international law. Colleagues in European academia are more than welcome to do the same (via the link below)!

Such an amazing sight !💚

“This is the way intelligent humans change the cities they live in.”

It’s called “burning fossil fuels”. That’s what’s fucking up our ability to stay alive because burning fossil fuels entirely fucks up our climate. Making it fucked. Entirely fucked. Fossil fuels are the fuck up. To stop the fuck up stop burning fossil fuels. Immediately.

Can someone tell Friedrich Merz and Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer?

The study focused on hurricanes, but also found the indirect (downstream from the initial event) excess death pattern repeated with extreme heat and air pollution (e.g., wild fire) events.

People are starting to boycott Disney theme parks.

Don’t forget to let them know.

This is powerful.

Excellent new video from PBS Terra about the long term climate change impact on the probability of death across the USA:

Long suspected the majority of deaths from natural disasters occur in the years afterwards due to ongoing health, wellbeing and economic impacts. We currently only count the immediate deaths and therefore hugely underestimate the impacts. Such important work as natural disasters increase.

Corporate Statism. 1978 "... larger questions about the collaboration of multinational corporations with one another and with military powers. ...no doubt of how easily the pursuit of profit coexisted with barbarism in the Third Reich." www.nybooks.com/articles/197...

With this action this week disney has become a one sided company. Hope they can survive on only republicans. Actually I hope they can't. Keep canceling them! Show them our purchasing power! We will not relent to these assholes!!! Fuck trump, fuck the nazis, fuck the racists, and fuck disney!

Your 'moment of doom' for Sept. 20, 2025 ~ The blob. "The sea surface temperature difference from average across the entire North Pacific smashed an all-time record for the month of August, with reliable data stretching back to the late 19th century." www.accuweather.com/en/climate/t...

Two weeks after its release, THE LIE OF THE LAND climbs six places to no.3 on national non-fiction bestseller list! Pleasantly surprised to see there is real public interest in a book about Ireland and the #climate emergency.

this exists it is called thinking

People live up to expectation. Set higher expectations. Present people with information, encourage them to think, let them choose. This is how we get democracy. Otherwise it is turkeys voting for Christmas. Or worse (fascism).

The best option for enlightened people in the UK is to support the Green Party and @zackpolanski.bsky.social This infighting at “Their Party” which was supposed to be “Our Party” shows there is no internal awareness of what it means to be a collective working for our collective rights.

"Media sources said a journalist, Ahmad Zaki Al-Aridi, and physician Nidal Al-Arda, were severely beaten after Israeli troops stormed and ransacked their homes in the town. Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) paramedics transferred both men to the hospital..." imemc.org/article/sold...

The kids are alright.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

One upside to the present moment is a revival in protest songs.

Listen.

Great protest song from Sasha Allen, more of this please.

Beautiful and true in every word and note. Needs to go far and wide

“one of them even raised the question of whether there was any humor left in Germany today.”

“Trump’s anti-solar crusade may end up calling to mind the Eagles’ best-known hit, “Hotel California”. He can check out any time he likes, but he can never leave.” The Economist. Cheap, reliable and profitable renewable energy is unstoppable. Follow the money.

🌊🌡️📈 The warming rate over the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) the past 25 years was about 1,000% higher than averaged over the preceding 150 years! It's the rate of regional warming and the resulting climate and weather impacts that pose such a threat. 1/

After Charlie Kirk’s killing, an expert in political violence explains how to stop it thebulletin.org/2025/09/afte...

Revolutionary songs and culture needed as you face pure evil! #US #Trump #Politics

Uau

A quarter of your energy bill has gone in straight profit to the privatised energy corporations Anyone out there still think they shouldn't be renationalised? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Good news: Oil and gas investment has been falling. But over the last few years it has been stagnating.

Democracies don't have some god-given right to prevail. Great nations can descend into autocracy, and more - throughout history - great civilisations have been known to crumble practically overnight. 80 years of peace and relative prosperity have lulled millions into believing it all immutable.

TV shows cancelled, people sacked or put on black lists... all for daring to speak the truth about "free speech warrior" Charlie Kirk. America has plunged head first into some very dark territory indeed. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Exactly this

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

Someone's pet cat with the native wild red squirrel it just killed. Most cat owners have no idea of, or don't want to know, how much wildlife is slaughtered annually by domestic or feral cats. But it runs to 10s, possibly 100s, of BILLIONS of animals per year, and is a serious driver of extinction.

And we’ve begun! Looking forward to two days of vital conversations and charting a brighter more sustainable future #agnc2025 #australiasgreatnorth

Nailed it. Labor is predictably awful.

How Macron joined the climate bad guys club

Maybe start by not approving more fossil fuel projects.

For a timeline cleanse, take a look at this morning’s amazing red sky which spanned almost 140°!! Tap and turn horizontal for full size. I hope you have had a great day!

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT. I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

The FT didn’t have full front page cover for an entire day for any of the Palestinian journalists that were murdered by the genocidal Israeli government. Why did the FT choose to memorialise a right wing white supremacist extremist? What was the thinking? Was there any thinking?

When people say Democrats are a major part of what’s wrong with America, this is what they mean:

This project seems promising. What you all think? @coveringclimatenow.org @climatenews.bsky.social #climatechange #harvarduniversity
