"In power, solar plus storage now costs below $60 per megawatt hour (MWh) at a global level. The variable cost of LNG-fired power in Asia, at $20 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), exceeds $160 per MWh – nearly three times the cost of never needing fuel again." Any questions?

In the past few years, elite fashion trends among billionaires shifted and Trump got elected, so the msm rolled back climate coverage. Pols & the system, which operate downstream of billionaire preferences, got the message. Meanwhile public concern about climate change stayed high.

“You have not read that in any of the guy books”

This is why we need public scholarship. As soon as the @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy newscaster asked about Trump saying the image was him as a doctor, @candidamoss.bsky.social cites the 2000 years of historical iconography that indicated to everyone that the AI image was meant to cast Trump as Jesus.

Has anyone been using Raven Workbench? I was looking for some help with RavenPro and just discovered the suite of programs on the @bioacoustics.bsky.social website that appears to have just been released. However, there is very little information or guides. #bioacoustics

I genuinely believe that people don't appreciate just how much of all the bad vibes right now are still largely a COVID hangover. It was a profoundly traumatizing event for American society, on the order of the civil war or the great depression and we've largely decided to just pretend

I wrote this about Santos and Menendez, but relevant again: "The Senate [or House], by constitutional design, is not dependent on the actions of the executive and judicial branches to fix the Senate’s problems. Senators have both the right and the obligation to judge the evidence for themselves"

ugh. THIS!

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

🇱🇧 Beirut rescuers risk their lives to save pets abandoned in conflict The small rescue team from NGO Animals Lebanon heads into Beirut's southern suburbs, struck almost daily by Israeli aircraft, looking for trapped animals.

The war in #Iran disrupts supply chains. Rising prices for #oil and #fertilisers are exacerbating #hunger and hitting farming families in the #South hard. This new crisis reminds us of the importance of local, sustainable and socially responsible agriculture: #agroecology. Read more: is.gd/e78ykk

Tell your elected officials to support energy independence by building out renewables and storage, rather than catastrophic fighting foreign wars over dwindling fossil fuel supplies. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

The NYU contract faculty union spent 15 months negotiating our contract with the university, culminating in a week of intensive all day talks and a final 30 hour bargaining session. Vance left Pakistan after less than a day.

Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.

A milestone in March: for the first time ever, renewables provided more power on the US grid than natural gas.

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

"Yesi", a mother of three, works in the Atwater, CA area. She's currently spraying almond trees with fertilizer (plant food). She is one of the few women who drive a tractor. She works 8 hours a day, Monday through Friday, earning minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

All of Trump's policies have been--to one degree or another--inflationary War: inflationary Deficit: inflationary Tariffs: inflationary Politicizing the Fed/loose money advocacy: inflationary Immigration: inflationary Cuts to renewables: inflationary Corruption: inflationary

A 1200+ year climate record is at risk. Do you know know anyone in Japan who could help? See below.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

We know what comes next because we've seen this movie before. In 1974 3 UK docs proposed a link betw. the pertussis vaccine & brain damage (there is none). By 1977 UK vax rates had fallen by more than half. The 1st epidemic came in '79: 100K sick, 36 dead—mostly babies. Anti-vax grift kills.

Dear Friends, Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest. Deadline is April 17. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

No big deal. Unless you buy food, take medicine, buy things made of metal, use plastics, drink treated water, or have any need for batteries, you should be fine.

Except we’ve spent $50 billion, the Strait is closed and 3000 people are dead. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

If you care about science, tell your congressional rep to stop these cuts in the budget proposal: 37% slashed from the U.S. Geological Survey’s budget. 47% cut from NASA Science. Continued...

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

lmao this is one of those fun little domino commodities that doesn't seem like a crucial lynchpin of the global economy but definitely is

It's going to be a wild summer.

SoH transits from Lloyd’s List:

We just got the first numbers showing economic effects of the war in Iran. Headline inflation is up sharply, and there's more to come. Stay tuned.

I’m excited that this @danicasavonick.bsky.social post has resonated with SUNY alumni, parents, faculty, and staff! Another way to show your support is to ask your NYS state legislators to fight for the priorities laid out here and robustly fund SUNY’s public good mission! hdl.handle.net/1951/88718

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad as.ft.com/r/db911dd6-f...

SUNY Chancellor John B. King @sunychancellor.bsky.social announces SUNY's "absolute & unwavering commitment" to DEI: "Some are cowering & backing away. We cannot and will not. We will not retreat, we will not back down... DEI is in our DNA." Super grateful & proud to teach @ SUNY!

It’s time once again for “you do not need to share the horrors in order to communicate that they are horrible. You do not need to imbibe the horrors to bear witness to them. Be kind to yourself and others right now.”

Pop quiz: In 2025, how much of the new electricity demand across the world was met by wind and solar?

Pope to Olympic Athletes: “It is possible to win without humiliating. One can lose without losing oneself. And this also applies beyond sport. It applies in social life, in politics, in relationships between peoples, because sport, if lived well, becomes a workshop for a reconciled humanity.”

GOOD TO SEE dem leadership bringing up the 25th amendment and other accountability mechanisms!

As a fire scientist, I am devastated for my many good friends and colleagues who will be affected by the mass closure of so many research stations and offices. Many will leave the agency. USFS has pioneered so much foundational fire science. The consequences of this will be catastrophic.

Almost 48 hours in I’m a bit surprised that markets remain so complacent. It’s not like the Strait of Hormuz is anywhere close to open.

Much of what's known about the health risks of the wildlife trade comes from specific outbreaks, like mpox, ebola or covid. A new look across mammals by @colincarlson.bsky.social et al finds that if we trade a mammal, we're waaaay more likely to share its pathogens. www.npr.org/2026/04/09/n...

National Forest lands, and their forests, belong to the People of the United States. The many employees of Forest Service - rangers, scientists, foresters, administrators - have been our stewards, caretaking the forests for a wide range of public goods. These changes are a disaster for us all.

Watching Trump dismantling big parts of what makes the United States special further bolsters my belief that one of his biggest motivations is narcissistic rage: he is angry at the country for not electing him in 2020.

only 27 left: we may lose Asiatic cheetahs because of this war. "I doubt that the government has any money left for the conservation of the cheetah” says Jamshid Parchizadeh in @mongabay.com: news.mongabay.com/2026/04/war-... 🧪🌍

Huge News! Thank you for making your voices heard. The Conservation Alliance posted just 30 minutes ago that they are joining the movement to save the U.S. Forest Service and over 70 businesses have signed on! Stronger together!

Today, the emperor penguin has moved from Near Threatened to Endangered on the @sscmarine.bsky.social IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. 🛰️ Satellite images suggest that the population declined by 10% between 2009 and 2018 alone, equating to more than 20,000 adult penguins. Thread:

Alien crime is not a real thing. Yes, some immigrants commit crimes. But most don’t. And those that do are redeemable just like any other human being.

Yes - Ford built their first car plant outside the US in Cork in 1917 and my understanding is that the aggressive removal of tram lines and railways from Ireland post-independence was a direct result of their lobbying.
