"We find no significant difference between the climate strategies of companies that purchased credits and those that did not. [...] Yet, we document that for large-scale offsetters in the airline industry, carbon credit purchases competed with financing internal decarbonisation measures."

Exactly, political violence isn't bad because the victims are good people, it's bad because it's bad!

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

The US Administration, champion of sovereignty, vows to punish Brazilians for enforcing Brazilian laws broken by a Brazilian citizen in Brazil.

#climatechange #JobAlert the New Zealand Climate Change Commission, He Pou A Rangi, is looking for a Principal Analyst, Analytics and Economics. Closing 26 September. Scope includes advice on NZ ETS settings, emissions reduction monitoring, and advice on emissions budgets and targets.

We'll cross global warming of 1.5°C in the next 5 years or so - what then? I'll explore the challenges and choices we're facing with climate overshoot in a lecture on 18 September for the Centro Euro-Mediterranneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici www.cmcc.it/lectures_con...

great reporting by @desmog.com on Saudi Aramco's strategy to 'future proof' its image, while continuing to massively expand fossil fuel and petrochemical production

It's outstanding that this clear presentation is part of Germany's public broadcaster's daily weather forecast. Long may the stamina last not only of @terliwetter.bsky.social (thank you!) but also those in charge of the @heuteshow.de that enable him to provide this essential public service.

Trump is right that DC is besieged by criminals; they’re in the administration.

What dastardly schemes will this evil council conjure up next in its mission to.... checks notes... stop people getting killed by bad drivers

🧵THREAD on agri-methane and ‘no additional warming’ Why is it so important to reduce methane (CH4) emissions from agriculture in the near term? What happens when countries like #Ireland use ‘no additional warming’ to set climate targets? PAPER: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... (1/18)

Maybe if they stopped pretending everyone is too stupid to read the IUCN report they hide behind they wouldn't have to cry and complain about the criticism they receive?

Very intriguing! Colossal has previously denied any involvement in similar articles www.newscientist.com/article/2490...

I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.

Yeah, I really thought that we passed this level of denier BS. Apparently not.

The InternetNZ AGM falls on Thursday. It's a very consequential one. To secure institution's ability to serve all New Zealanders, members must vote down proposed changes to InternetNZ's constitution by the Free Speech Union (FSU) - published on their website. If passed, InternetNZ won't be the same.

New Zealand Climate Change Commission released its annual emissions monitoring report. We're likely to meet the current first emissions budget, but significant risks to the second budget (2026-2030), and insufficient plans for third budget (2031-2035). Urgent action needed to get back on track #1/2

A first take on today's emissions monitoring report. More to come. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

As a long time member of InternetNZ, and later ex staff member, the election that’s just opened for voting is as pivotal a moment as the organisation has ever seen. If you’re a member, please vote, on board members and then on some expected AGM motions (which have yet to be announced).

Colossal are likely trying to ‘de-extinct’ the moa by tweaking an emu genome. There’s 62 million years of evolution between an emu and a moa. For context, there’s only 42 MY between humans and howler monkeys. You simply can’t make a human with a GM howler monkey www.newscientist.com/article/2487...

This sounds batsh*t crazy but it's, quite literally, a straightforward & purely factual description of what's going on here

Zanskar, located in the Ladakh region of India's mountain highlands, has felt the full force of glacier retreat. With no access to water, villagers have been abandoning their homes and traditional way of life. @lemonde.fr www.lemonde.fr/en/environme...

There's something darkly amusing about the fact that, in a political atmosphere rife with paranoid xenophobia about China, the GOP is passing a big high-profile bill that amounts to *total surrender to China*.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

pray for climate action instead, Gov.

Sicily is so hot that the region has just issued an ordinance to suspend various types of agricultural and construction activities on hot days to avoid accidents at work. Essentially these activities will be off at 12:30-16:00pm until 31/8. But let’s talk again how expensive climate mitigation is..

Missing a climate goal doesn’t mean we should give up. An illustrated guide to the concept of overshoot by @angela-morelli.bsky.social @tomgab.bsky.social & @andyreisinger.bsky.social for Scientific American. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-... 🧪📊 #sciart

And when you hear them saying -- re, say, immigration, or trans people -- "hey the public disagrees with us, what can we do but compromise & retreat?" you know that what they're actually doing is laundering their substantive opinions. They don't *want* to do the work to change opinion on those.

Which is just to say, the point of the OP was not to weigh in on the substantive merits of nuclear. It was just to point out that there's been a broad institutional effort to change minds about nuclear and it has worked. When elites set out to change public opinion, they can.

Is there anyone in Trump's orbit who's not a liar?

"decarbonised oil" is like saying "we don't actually kill people at our poison factory." They're talking about "decarbonising" the production and shipping of oil. A fallacy in itself, but the real point is that the core product will still be burned, heat our one and only atmosphere, and cook us.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I can't decide whether I'm feeling rëvoltive, nausaged, détestable or simply disappoofed with the world we're in 😂👌

HEY friends, a new post for you!! Microsoft finally dropped the 'moonshot' metaphor it's used for its climate goals since 2020. What the hell happened? And how it is still managing to skew its climate story using accounting tricks? Have a read!! -->> ketanjoshi.co/2025/05/31/t...

@ketanjoshi.co: "Microsoft built the rocket, left the atmosphere, and shot off in precisely the wrong direction. Then blamed the moon for suddenly being too far away, as they intentionally hurtled away from it."

Hi everyone! I'm Eileen Laubacher, the Democrat, retired U.S. Navy Admiral, and mother of five running against Lauren Boebert here in Colorado. I'd love if you could follow and share to help me get to 3,000 followers. Let's get rid of Boebert in November! PS... love the fan art!

Here it is, in a clear graphic from the NYTimes. The GOP budget destruction bill will add $3.3 TRILLION to the national debt. And how? Entirely by tax cuts to the rich, paid for by cutting health, food for the poor, climate science, and Medicaid.

For 20 years now, I have been saying, "the right is building a giant, explicitly ideological infotainment behemoth, sucking up viewers, sucking up local papers & stations, sucking up radio, sucking up social media, dominating the info environment. Dems aren't. It's gonna be a problem!"

But it seems to me that step one is acknowledging the problem & vowing to *try*. Instead, mainstream Dems seem to think if they shrink enough, get "moderate" & inoffensive enough, stick to safe positions that poll well enough, they can "play dead" to survive through this. It's futile.
