If China's emissions had kept growing at previous levels emissions would like, what, maybe a full GIGATONNE higher....the area of avoided emissions here is like deleting the emissions of entire countries. This is happening at a scale that will very clearly have an effect in lessening disasters

You'd never guess that the @bjerknes.uib.no just issued an urgent warning of the existential risks to Norway 🇳🇴 from AMOC collapse & the need for increasing the urgency of decarbonization, would you?

The biggest issue is that Ratcliffe felt sufficiently emboldened and comfortable, given government statements, polices and general media environment, to publicly share his racist views #makeracismtaboo

Happy publication day to @jomarchant.bsky.social - IN SEARCH OF NOW is the freshest and most sense-making account of the conscious experience I’ve read in YEARS. Brilliant!

Should the “island of strangers” PM also apologise?

A very happy pub day to IN SEARCH OF NOW, a brilliant exploration of reality and more, by the fabulous @jomarchant.bsky.social Get yours today!

Is that not Lucy Powell’s job?

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Great visual!

sigh

liebfraumilch?

And what about coconut milk? Soy milk? Dandelion milk?

It’s time to reveal the 2026 #WomensPrize for Non-Fiction longlist! A hopeful list, these are 16 books that reflect the belief that every woman’s voice has the power to elicit and inspire change: youtu.be/ScHiI1saMCY

Ridiculous. How would you usefully describe oat milk to someone wanting an alternative to dairy in their coffee?

new books pod

UCL is 200 years old today!

Given the Industrial Revolution was largely powered by children working in what we could consider prison camps, policed by oligarchs using private militias, and funded by slave-picked cotton, yeah it would probably be illegal. But that isn’t what is stupid about this article!

RIP corals

The world service really matters. It’s such an important voice available everywhere around the world.

So enlightened

So sad

Daffs!!

Ffs! This is such a scandal. Just fund the WS properly when democracy is under such threat globally

British children should be taught Esperanto so they can visit The Continent and confidently speak to anyone!

yikes

Quite apart from the plagiarism, what a very weird brief: "songs in the style of the 1990s" could be anything. Should've been songs from the 1990s and factor the costs in

That continues a worrying trend for the UK over the last decade. @anticorruption.bsky.social cited record political donations from super‑rich backers, cash‑for‑access politics, aggressive lobbying & shrinking space for protest, journalism & people-powered campaigns the UK's downgrade... 2/3

Almost two years after the Antwerp Declaration—the petrochemical industry‘s wishlist for deregulation, subsidies, & simplification steers EU policy. Alarm bells are ringing. Privileged @ec.europa.eu & petrochemical ties block EU climate goals—especially on plastics & toxic chemicals: bit.ly/4acaZiW

And then this problem. Cuts to things that work and are popular. But not to CCUS and H2 vaporware.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has announced today a record £1bn invest in community-owned energy. This is the start of an energy ownership revolution which will see communities and community assets benefit from renewables in their areas. 📺 Watch him explain.

The problem 👇

Something too few people know is that there were potentially more deaths in just three months in Mariupol than in Gaza during the entire war, despite Mariupol having a much smaller population. Russian war crimes and their magnitude are underestimated by many

If Starmer wants a reset - and not yet another U-turn when the parliamentary party balks at a policy - here is his chance.

This job was never mentioned in my school careers fair!

Right now, @noaa.gov is reviewing two exploration license applications from The Metals Company. The licenses would let the company start work on the world's first-ever, full-scale deep-sea mining project: an operation affecting a vast ocean area between #Hawai'i and #Mexico.

Great news. Ed is doing the job!

Many people have no mental imagery. What’s going on in their brains? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

BREAKING: UK govt auction secures 4.9GW new solar at £65/MWh and 1.3GW new onshore wind at £72/MWh, 13% and 21% below the price cap respectively. All due online by 2029.

Sounds fine

America’s concentration camps

"Few, if any, newsagents in south London hold the same variety of publications as Pritsesh, who stocks everything from highbrow literary criticism to underground fashion magazines." This is so depressing and pointless. www.the-londoner.co.uk/how-a-tfl-re...

This is one of things. Bigtime.

This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.

Amazing that people take this guy seriously with his space cities

Between 1979 and 1982 American geologist William Barbat produced 18 issues of the "CO2 Newsletter". 8 pages packed with news, excerpts from recent reports and analysis. Accurate, prescient, heart-breaking. The third is now released. pdf and text via here - allouryesterdays.info/2026/02/08/c... 1/n

So glad a debate is finally happening. This goes to the heart of the security of our democratic system. I’ve taken part in court cases against successive governments for their failure to investigate hostile state interference in UK elections - ministers’ lack of curiosity is truly shocking 👇

Interesting. Might explore accounts in other parts of the galaxy

Does this mean the Boris Bridge is off the table?
