Ireland's new fossil-fuelled #Petrotech data center will increase Ireland's **total** (everything, not just the power sector) emissions by ~1% Absolutely nuts. A 1% national increase - for what? Come on boosters, explain why this is worth it 🫠 www.linkedin.com/posts/bgamaz...

Across Germany, tens of thousands of high school students went on strike on Thursday to protest the likely reintroduction of military service. Germany’s political leaders want a new generation of soldiers, but young people are against it.

"It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever." - @davidho.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

some good news at least jacobin.com/2026/03/germ...

Wrote about Thursday's school strike against conscription in Germany. Small glimmer of hope in an otherwise pretty shitty week. jacobin.com/2026/03/germ...

I discovered something that just nauseated me to my core today - Polymarket has a huge number of bets running on climate impacts and disasters An entirely new flavour of disaster capitalism

Next month, countries will gather in Santa Marta, Colombia for the First International Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels—the first in a series of diplomatic conferences focused explicitly on working towards a fossil-free world. #FossilFuelTreaty #BeyondFossilFuels #Venezuela

Addressing fossil imperialism will require diplomacy focused on justice. A Fossil Fuel Treaty focused on a just transition can be a tool for peace.

🛢️You might have seen terms like “oil imperialism” in the news lately. But what is fossil fuel imperialism? And what can we do about it?

Check out our new article "Power in Fossil Fuel Supply-Side Policy: Closing Down and Opening Up Opportunities to Phase Out Fossil Fuel Production" co-authored with @peternewell.bsky.social @freddiedaley.bsky.social and Daniela Soto Hernandez in @gepjournal.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/glep/article...

I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.

Your daily reminder: the far right has never stopped talking about climate change. "Don't mention climate change" is a centre-right tactic designed to clear space for these people, not a good-faith piece of comms advice for the left.

what a read, on the global political economy of online scams www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Imperialism anywhere increases the chances of imperialism everywhere

Marxism is foundational to the discipline of political ecology, and yet in the past few years there’s been a notable decline of Marxist perspectives in the discipline’s leading conferences and forthcoming handbooks. 1/5

US imperialism no longer operates within the post-WWII 'rules based order' it created with its (false) appeals to international rights, freedom, and win-win scenarios. It works through zero-sum calculations, violence, and misinformation. Palestine and Venezuela are front lines.

Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature, is among the most clarifying books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Really enjoyed my conversation with @alybatt.bsky.social — we cover nature, value, feminist economics, existentialism, freedom and more live now!

‘It is abundantly clear that corporate social responsibility was and is a myth. Even if firms claim to recognise their social and environmental responsibilities, profitability always trumps them when they clash.’ @brettchristophers.bsky.social on where our waste goes. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

“Without structural conditions that enable alternative forms of land use, food production and nature generation, bottom-up initiatives risk remaining highly localised in their effects instead of aligning into a broader transformation of nature-society relations.”

Wrote this about the forgotten history of spatial planning in the Netherlands w/ my colleagues @adamcalo.bsky.social & Catherine :)

Increasing military budgets as part of rising great-power competition is a disaster across multiple fronts: for the victims of wars, for an already burning planet, and for workers who don’t see real benefits from military conflict. New from me & @transitionsec.bsky.social co-director Khem Rogaly

China's wind and solar capacity additions have cooled down as expected after the rush in March-May, driven by the change in pricing policy. 8 GW of solar and 4 GW of wind was added to the grid in August, and 2025 seems comfortably on track to a new annual record. bsky.app/profile/laur...

Now: Activists are blocking the offices of Siemens in Berlin Neukölln, claiming the company is complicit in the genocide in Gaza. Several arrests already.

Well well well turns out capital needs labor after all

"alarming impact of AI on the environment: forprofit utilities will have to make $720 B in grid upgrades by 2030 to meet spiraling demand, costs that they will pass on. locking in planetchoking carbon emissions right when we should be pivoting away from fossil fuels" www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

The one piece jolly roger made it to Berlin

Xi Jinping announced China's new climate targets personally, a positive gesture, but the targets brought little clarity on China’s future emission pathway. Targeting a 7-10% emission reduction by 2035 from an undefined "peak level" undersells China's current clean energy boom.
