Starmer is utterly insanely ramping up risk of catastrophic UK nuclear disasters, as he tears up nuclear safety regs for his Daily Mail/Murdoch Tory/Reform obsession with growth above all other needs.🙈🙈 #StarmerMustGo

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

The head of the Western Australian Museum has told staff that burning fossil fuels is something “almost all of us are guilty of in one way or another” in an email defending the institution’s renewed research partnership with Woodside.

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Imagine if the entire federal government was united across all agencies to fighting hunger or poverty or homelessness they way they are to destroying the entire offshore wind industry. Gift link:

"As we've been saying for years, Shell and their fossil fuel cronies are committing ecocide and destroying a viable future to make a fortune for their shareholders. Stop Shell!" @xralmere.bsky.social #EndFossilFuels

China is making massive investments in electrification to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and the US dollar. @katemac.bsky.social and @70sbachchan.bsky.social join @parismarx.com to discuss the geopolitics and how other countries are getting on board. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/291_...

The fossil corps pay lip service to "decarbonized oil," "net zero by 2050," or "technological innovation" as an alternative to phasing out extraction, while doing everything they can to obstruct regulations that would require them to invest in GHG reductions. www.pemedianetwork.com/carbon-econo...

The old paradigm: poorer countries must buy oil & gas from rich petrostates. Once they burn the oil & gas, they must buy more, with the supplier setting the prices. It's exhausting. The new paradigm: poorer countries buy solar panels. And that's it. They own that energy. It's inexhaustible.

Highly recommend this witty and thoughtful conversation about solar energy, including @billmckibben.bsky.social comment about Trump turning America into “a colonial Williamsburg of internal combustion.”

Minnesota just approved its first stand-alone battery storage project to store surplus wind & solar for hours. That means more reliable power, less fossil fuel, and progress toward clean energy goals. This is what state leadership looks like. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...

#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...

Oh good, just what we needed. Thanks, Exxon! "Researchers analyzed over a billion social media posts and found that when temperatures exceeded 95°F (35°C), expressed sentiments became more negative, particularly in lower-income countries where effects were three times stronger."

#YouthforGreenCommunities joined a strategic meetings with #climateactivists and #OilWatchAfrica AGM to advance climate justice, oppose oil exploitation, and call for reparations for African nations facing climate impacts . From exploitation to reparations. Africa is owed climate Justice.

Alkemi Collective has become Africa’s first creative agency to endorse the Fossil Ad Ban campaign, which calls for a nationwide ban on all coal, oil and gas advertisements in a bid to help address the climate crisis by shifting public perception. Read more here: tinyurl.com/yc2zv4xn

“9 out of 10 people worldwide want govts to take stronger climate actions, yet there’s a shift away from efforts to avert climate disaster. Govts, banks and big oil cos are turning their back on climate and are funding secretive groups and far-right politicians.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Good morning with good news: Solar repays its upfront CO2 debt from manufacturing in 4 months and 57 times over its life! Solar is 19x cleaner than coal per kWh. Solar is 8x cleaner than gas per kWh. Gas is dirty, not "clean!" #energysky interactive.carbonbrief.org/factcheck/so...

Summer 2025 is set to be the warmest on record for the UK, the Met Office has just announced. @londoncentric.media reports how heatwaves linked to #ClimateChange are increasing the risk of wildfires in London's parched parks, with Hyde Park, Brockwell Park & Hamstead Heath among the most vulnerable🔥

GOOD NEWS 🎉: A court in South Africa has revoked Shell's permission to drill a number of offshore exploration wells off the country's south-west coast. The Judge found the environmental approval "woefully deficient" on the potential coastal impact of the exploration.

DID YOU KNOW? Gas steals water from communities! One LNG plant can consume millions of liters every day, while families walk kilometers for a single bucket. #WorldWaterWeek #DontGasAfrica

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Also new: this letter is from Marzulla Law, the same lawyers who represented them against federal agencies about the huge Revolution Wind project--which the Trump Administration froze on Friday without justification (see our Congress briefing on the national security red herring). 7/n

Nancie and Roger Marzulla are hard-right libertarian lawyers who have been fighting major environmental laws and programs since the 1980s. Now they're using regulations such as NEPA, ESA, MMPA and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to seek to shut down four major wind projects up and down the coast. 8/n

The Marzullas' connections include the Reagan and Trump Administrations, oil producers, tobacco firms, and they were members of the Cooler Heads Coalition, a famous climate denialist coalition, with ties to Heartland, Heritage, CEI, ALEC and SPN, most of whom are Koch-funded. 9/n

We have a brand new paper, again by a team of crack undergrads, about the networks of these anti-wind lawyers. The Marcella case happened to be first. 10/n www.climatedevlab.brown.edu/post/legal-e...

Here's the network centered around Marcella Law. No doubt there is much more to this story. 11/n

125 documents are in the Anti-Environmental Archives authored by or citing the work of the Marzullas, including this hot take 12/n www.documentcloud.org/documents/13...

Roger Marzulla was the second president of the Mountain States Legal Foundation, which "worked to weaken theEndangered Species Act, the Wilderness Act, The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the Superfund Program and theClean Water Act." www.documentcloud.org/documents/15...

Here's more from our remarkable local news outlet EcoRI.org: '“I’m quite worried about the direction our country is going in many ways,” he said, adding that the letter from Green Oceans’ attorney seems to follow a trend “of bullying being used to extract concessions.” ecori.org/green-oceans...

Key point from Brown University spokesperson Brian Clark: “In keeping with the bedrock principles of academic freedom – which is essential for challenging and testing ideas to promote new paths of learning and discovery – scholars shape their own research and course of instruction at Brown."

Saudi Aramco, according to the NGO Influence Map, is the greatest corporate contributor to climate change in history, thanks to the emissions from the oil and gas it has extracted. #Collapse #ClimateCrisis #LoveEarth

Analysis of U.S. federal lobbying disclosures from 2005 through 2024 identifies the fossil fuel sector as the primary force behind a multipronged $954-million (2024 USD) lobbying campaign of the U.S. federal government regarding carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) and closely related subjects […]

Wow, just realized I was on @apnews.com video talking about the impacts of #AI #DataCenters and #electricity sector! Using #FossilFuels to meet these demands hurts people closest to those plants as well as the climate. Great, more detailed info on gas & nuclear from Prof. Lee comes after my clips.
