Thank you @benansell.bsky.social and guests for this highly recommended show. Not covered in the podcast, but #ZerosumMentality key to understanding contemporary #Populism as well. @edinburghpir.bsky.social

Well done (and well deserved) @carbonbrief.org 👏

Really appreciated Scottish parliamentarians @sarahboyack.bsky.social, @foysolchoudhury.bsky.social and @lornaslater.bsky.social taking time to discuss climate solutions w constituents. Action at local and sub-state level is key.

Hugely inspiring to join 100s of citizens and #piper at #ScottishParliament and #DynamicEarth to lobby MSPs to take action on #climatechange. Thank you‬ ‪@sccscot.bsky.social‬ @foescot.bsky.social; @sarahboyack.bsky.social

Check out this short piece on 'Climate Change Politics in the Age of Trump 2.0'. Not as depressing as you'd think. @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social @uoe-sps.bsky.social @edinburghpir.bsky.social @psaenvironmental.bsky.social

What an event. Riveting personal stories, poetry and scholarship. The redemptive power of arts is mistakable. Thank you to @edbookfest.bsky.social @kir-anderson.bsky.social @noellecobden.bsky.social @lady_unchained

Postdoc Fellowship: Multispecies Justice. Come work with @danycelermajer.bsky.social and me at @seisydney.bsky.social. We're looking at experiments in more-than-human inclusion in democratic decision making on climate and adaptation. More here: usyd.wd105.myworkdayjobs.com/en-GB/USYD_E...

I think it's really nice they do this but this is my fairly regular request that someone in the PSA puts the Scottish Higher results day in the diary and creates an equivalent post. We need Scottish students to study politics as well.

Perhaps some of our @uoe-sps.bsky.social 4th years are interested in these paid internships at @instituteforgov.bsky.social www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/defaul... Deadline is Tuesday 29 April at 11:00

The Society of Authors @societyofauthors.bsky.social is staging a #demonstration outside #Meta's offices at Granary Square, King's Cross today at 1.30pm to protest against their #illegal #pirating of our work. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Join @heathergrabbe.bsky.social & me for the launch of our @bruegel.bsky.social report at a hybrid event on 25Feb using @dpart.bsky.social research (conducted with @neeleeilers.bsky.social) asking whether publics really stopped caring about climate change. Sign up👇 www.bruegel.org/event/public...

Thank you David @olefeldt.bsky.social‬ and @katherinhayhoe.com for sharing the magic of #peatlands: where #climate science, art and music collide. See: karinepolwart.com/blogs/blog-1... PS: we must get musician #KarinePolwart on @bsky.app

One of my favorite things about #peatlands is their patterning at different scales caused by millennia of interplay between hydrology and peat accumulation - mainly Sphagnum mosses. Spent my Saturday evening looking at satellite images of the Hudson Bay Lowlands - a perfectly reasonable activity…
