‘As we kept discussing, there was one book we kept coming back to’ Watch Roddy Doyle's speech leading up to last night's big announcement. youtu.be/BzjflYeTcY4?...

My holds at the library are the holds of a sucker for punishment who also really doesn’t know how to party

Still fuming they are using the Lovelace name to give themselves licence to bring together five dudes to discuss the future of the UK’s research system #AdaWashing

now I am fuming too (but when is one not fuming nowadays)

This piece from the Weekend FT seems relevant bsky.app/profile/heta...

Episode 2 of the COPOut Podcast launches tomorrow! I speak with @lisaschipper.bsky.social & @rodschoonover.bsky.social about how the climate regime has changed over the years, and how climate shocks and (mal)adaptation are increasing vulnerabilities and inequalities across and within countries.

I think one of the hardest things for many to swallow is that maybe he has been shallow on this issue the whole time.

Don't write the tallow chandlers out of history! Think on the tallow chandlers!

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

#COP30 "Success will be measured by the courage govs have demonstrated: 1️⃣Transitioning away from fossil fuels, 2️⃣ Hurrying investment in adaptation & climate action that will otherwise result insurmountable in impacts & costs”- @jenimiller.bsky.social climateandhealthalliance.org/press-releas...

I listened most of today to The Dismissal- panels all day talking about it. It was great. If you want to know more it might be worth at least picking out a few of the sessions. www.youtube.com/live/5wnIN_b...

"Fools fall for fossil fuels" Eco friendly merch please. Brilliant 💚🙏💚

So here's the favour I want to ask: if this post crosses your feed, please take this chance to support the Gitxsan and Gitanyow by watching our latest HGA and passing it on. Help us put Ksi Lisims and PRGT on the map 🙏

I know there's a lot happening right now. But it's worth remembering that First Nations like the Gitxsan and Gitanyow are literally on the frontline of protecting, not just their ancestral lands, but also clean air, water and land, by fighting the expansion of fossil fuels in a climate crisis.

So many reasons to change #COP30 - so many costs to every delay! How we need these meetings to give us all, globally, #Hope for #stability #future #children #biodiversity #care #Earth 🙏

Colombia's president not only understands the urgency, he actually supports doing something about it. Unlike so many other leaders. He supports the call to "develop a roadmap to break dependence on fossil fuels." #COP30 #ClimateCrisis #EndFossilFuels english.elpais.com/opinion/2025...

I think this says Paul McCartney is criticising #COP30 for not *walking the walk*, and serving 100% vegetarian or vegan food. #Vegan #Vegetarian #PlantBasedFutures #ClimateCrisis #PaulMcCartney

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media. Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

When you switch from fossil to clean you only use like 30-40% of the energy to do the same stuff, bc most energy from fossil fuels is lost as waste heat What's I'm trying to say is that all climate action is degrowth WELCOME TO DEGROWTH EVERYONE

👀 “We’re raising generations of kids who don’t trust the press, potentially because no one has taught them how credible newsrooms operate or how to distinguish between news & other kinds of information," says study co-author Kim Bowman #AcademicSky #EduSky

Both sad and hilarious. Also, I have questions.

A Mudgee winery just went fully off-grid with 414 solar panels, 1.2MWh battery, zero power bills. powers weddings, wine, and dishwashers. The sun is free. The donkeys are curious. Welcome to the future of agritourism. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Fossil fuel lobbyists are now talking gas up as a ‘green’ fuel. To be absolutely clear, this is nonsense. Coal full life cycle emissions: 800-1,700g CO2e/kWh Gas full life cycle emissions: 290-930g CO2e/kWh Wind power full life cycle emissions: 5-15g CO2e/kWh

We've seen this dynamic before on climate change, where poll after poll shows the public overwhelmingly support action but underestimate how much society agrees. Media's pursuit of false balance had a lot to do with that. Now that climate change itself isn't debated, denial has shift to RE.

Despite attempts by some to spread lies + divide communities, renewable energy remains seriously popular in regional Australia. New poll shows 70% support for renewables. But people believe support is lower than it really is. This is where we see impact of disinfo reneweconomy.com.au/listen-to-fa...

Maybe a long shot but if anyone is going to be even tangentially involved in the negotiations at COP30 in Brazil and is willing to answer a quick question or two (anonymously if you prefer!), please reach out, Signal is davelevitan.26 or my email is easy to find.
