Of all the weird and wonderful critters in our mysterious ocean, gelatinous salps and their miraculously camouflaged hitchhikers are definitely some of my new favorites after writing this @biographic.bsky.social spotlight!

Excellent reporting by @afreedma.bsky.social showing, yet again, that personal vendettas are a leading driver of decision-making for this administration

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans. New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Between this and the NYT Harold Hamm piece, it's been a big week for revealing the wealthy invisible hands trying to bend American energy policy to their whims

I had been dreading the treaty anniversary as an occasion to note that we have not done nearly enough, but in July I thought we might be able celebrate it. Because, on 23 July, the international court of justice handed down an epochal ruling....

ICYMI Here’s your Friday long read: My in-depth profile story of David Stevenson, the man who crushed America’s offshore wind industry. Thanks to @motherjones.com for republishing. 🙏

If you haven't heard of salps but, like me, love bizarre ocean creatures, I highly recommend this @biographic.bsky.social piece from @sarahmilligan.bsky.social

If your response to a snowball is mace, you should absolutely not be trusted with a loaded weapon

Fascinating read, but also...any decent fact checker would have prevented these articles from being published in the first place. Editors, be warned, fact-checking is more essential than ever in the AI era.

COP30 launched a $125B plan to protect 1 billion hectares of tropical forests—the size of Canada. The Tropical Forest Forever Facility could be a game-changer for climate action. 🌳🌍 But there is a lot of work to be done. @paul-west.bsky.social, Sr Scientist, weighs in. https://bit.ly/48BI0FF

Reducing tropical deforestation is absolutely critical to addressing biodiversity loss *and* climate change. Dr. Paul West from Project Drawdown writes about why the proposed Tropical Forest Forever Facility is so important in doing this. drawdown.org/insights/wha...

For @biographic.bsky.social, I reported from across rural Illinois on an environmental crisis unfolding in the Midwest: herbicides drifting off millions of acres of crop fields are slowly killing oaks and other native tree species. #longreads

The free speech and meritocracy party, everybody! Children of billionaires buying media companies, installing pseudo-journalists as EICs, and gutting any department reporting on something they don't like.

A scoop that I’m not happy to report: CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution. heated.world/p/cbs-news-k...

When Bari Weiss was given the keys to CBS, I expected this would happen, but not so fast and so thoroughly. @tracywholf.bsky.social is one of the best producers, on climate or otherwise. There's no other explanation for her dismissal than blatant censorship from Ellison and Weiss.

Are we really expected to take advice on climate action from the guy who has invested nearly a billion dollars in nuclear fusion and direct air capture?

It's official. This is the only Bill we should turn to for climate.

To quote my friend @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, climate change won't make humanity extinct but we can do better than "not extinct". Raise your standards people!

About this time last year, the Biden administration dispensed $250 billion to develop 30,000 affordable housing units.

At a time when most other plants are going dormant, American witch hazel erupts in ringlets of spindly, golden flowers. And unlike most understory shrubs, witch hazels don’t depend on birds for seed dispersal. Instead, they fire their seeds up to 10 meters across the forest floor... (1/2) 🌿🧪

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

Are we entering the "find out" portion of the mess-around-and-find-out continuum?

This story was inspired by a conversation with a fossil fuel exec in Paris a few days after the big outage in Spain. He blamed too much renewable energy as the cause. Was that really it? Turns out: No. @npr.org takes you through a new report on what happened + impacts of renewable misinformation.

It seems there are two main reasons things haven’t gone completely to shit in the US: 1. Lawyers and the courts; 2. Journalists and the media. Most of us can’t do anything about the first, but we can support journalism. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe to news & donate to public media.

Drain the swamp and fill it with oil

Louisville (if you ain't from Kentucky, you aren't saying it right)

This was in the EU, but just a reminder that agribusiness outspends oil and gas in lobbying in the US

It's true. There's a special pride in learning how to fry eggs perfectly in a stainless steel pan.

Climate solutions made a splash during Climate Week NYC with the unveiling of the Drawdown Explorer!🌍 We asked team members on the ground in New York about their biggest takeaways. Check out the 🔗 for reflections from our team and what comes next. drawdown.org/insights/eig...

My key takeaway from Climate Week NYC? Climate communicators need to be more data-driven. There are great resources from @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social, Potential Energy Coalition, @pewresearch.org, and more showing what messages—and messengers—work. Now let's put those insights into action.
