“New York City’s congestion pricing, which began this month, might already be one of the most effective climate policies ever enacted in the United States.”

As folks are struggling to adjust to our new Regime in the USA, keep in mind that climate progress is global and there are numerous channels where progress continues entirely unaffected by who occupies the White House. Not all of the items on this list, but most of them. Onwards... 🔌💡

Trump says he's going to pull out of the Paris Agreement. That's a bad move, but it's not "game over" for climate -- not at all! It's "game on," and we must now focus on new climate leadership and new climate tactics. That's what we're going to do at @projectdrawdown.bsky.social

#Fertilizers enhance agricultural production and bolster #foodsecurity, but improper #nitrogen use damages air, water & soil quality, results in #biodiversity loss, and exacerbates #climatechange. Livestock are the main contributors to nitrogen emissions: www.fao.org/newsroom/det... #livestock

The EU is in danger of importing a LOT of this liquefied gas, and bankrolling this destruction and pollution More oil and gas imports won't help people's bills, or give us a stable climate – we need investments in insulation and renewables to cut energy waste and make energy clean

New research suggests misleading climate messaging used by oil & gas, plastics & agrichemicals industries on social media is “aligned and coordinated”. Researchers sorted 12k tweets into 8 types of argument — 4 of climate denial, 4 of climate delay. @gristnews.bsky.social @jbwinters.bsky.social

Smoke from wildfire poses a host of health concerns, but when fires burn through urban areas, like the ongoing inferno in Los Angeles, U.S., the health risks increase dramatically. By Bobby Bascomb news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

❄️Changes in surface air temperature and snow cover particularly in North America, are reducing the climatic suitability of potential ice roads, and their contribution to land accessibility is expected to decrease by the end of the 21st century. 👉Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

This snapshot of top climate news on @carbonbrief.org really captures global climate politics in this historical moment: full-on denial in the US, ambivalence and greenwashing in the UK, and a new implementation of 1+N, a "zone specific environmental management system," in China.

My mom lived through Nazi occupation. She had nightmares about the SS until she died. I miss my mom every day, but today, I'm glad that she didn't live to see a Nazi salute given at the inauguration of a US president.

Accidental gesture? His grandparents were members of the Nazi Party. His parents are supporters of apartheid and open white supremacists. His platform is awash in neonazi content. He supports the AfD. This wasn’t a badly-timed photo - on video, TWICE, during a televised speech. HE IS A NAZI.

🌍 Stop blaming yourself for the #ClimateCrisis Research shows energy companies push 'net-zero hero' narratives, shifting climate responsibility to individuals. Real change demands corporate action, not consumer guilt. 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... #SciComm #ClimateAction 🧪

🌍 Hidden Arctic Emissions Deep Arctic lake sediments release significant methane and CO₂ during permafrost thaw, doubling their warming potential. This is an overlooked factor in climate models, which will have a significant impact on #ClimateChange 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Arctic #SciComm 🧪

We have stood up to this compromised administration before & we aren't going to stand down just because it's circling back for another term. Together, we can hold the line. Let's roll.

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) over the Arctic, with stunning colors visible across Finland. PSCs form only when stratospheric temperatures plummet to -85°C, a threshold so low that water molecules in the stratosphere can condense into icy clouds. 1/ #Weather #Science 📸 Janne Kukkola

🌍 Wetlands & methane: a warming cycle Wetlands are releasing more methane due to rising temperatures, about 6–7 million tonnes more each year since 2000. Climate change is fueling this increase, making it harder to slow global warming 🔗 bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis 🧪

Alaska to resume ‘barbaric’ shooting of bears and wolves from helicopters. Renewed program would allow hunters to eliminate up to 80% of the animals on 20,000 acres of state land. 🤬 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“The $TRUMP memecoin — a financial asset that didn't exist on Friday afternoon — now accounts for about 89% of Donald Trump's net worth.” Trump just became one of the top 25 richest people on earth. Through this. Insane, open & now normalized corruption.

Regenerative agriculture has been co-opted by ranchers. "grass-fed cattle operations require more time, more animals, and more land to match the meat production of their conventional counterparts, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions." #vegan #sustainable #sustainability

Boreal forests have been experiencing both gains and losses in recent decades. Liu et al show that boreal forest resilience is more sensitive to forest cover losses than to gains, indicating that functional declines due to forest loss outpace improvements following forest recovery. rdcu.be/d6T8l

El próximo jueves 23 presentamos resultados preliminares de la atribución a cambio climático del evento de precipitación extrema en Valencia en el congreso de @aeclim.org. Mediante la metodología 'storyline approach', hemos utilizado 16 modelos climáticos para generar unas 'CIs' preindustriales.

I would say it's not smart to call a year a breakthrough year for CCS at the start rather than the end of the year, given how consistently CCS fails to have breakthrough years www.woodmac.com/blogs/the-ed...

How much media coverage was devoted to a false allegation that Joe Biden supposedly received a $5 million bribe from Burisma before becoming president? How much media coverage was devoted to whoever around the world pumped many billions into Trump’s new Crypto this week, & why?

Legacy media outlets ignoring the Trump and Melania crypto scams, which at any other time with any other incoming Admin would be one of the biggest scandals in political history, shows how lost and unprepared they are for what is about to happen. They’re covering this like a reality show.

Radiation-induced mutations may not be the reason for the genetic differences between dog populations living near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, according to a new study. The study has implications for our understanding of the effects of nuclear radiation exposure on populations.

Hurray, despite climate changes having detrimental effects everywhere «the AMOC might be much less sensitive to external forcing on decadal timescales than previously believed.» Even though AMOC may eventually be affected, this is good news, especially for us living in the Nordics.
