For every dollar invested in protecting nature, US$30 are spent destroying it. In 2023, US$7.3 trillion flowed into nature-negative activities—from fossil fuel subsidies to investments in high-impact sectors like utilities and energy. www.unep.org/resources/st...

The Brazilian development bank has selected private funds for a multi-billion-dollar climate programme. But too often these initiatives prioritise profits over real environmental protection, a pattern we keep seeing in “green” finance. www.newprivatemarkets.com/brazilian-de...

Governments have been warned about climate change for 70 years. They’re still suppressing the worst news.

Arctic ice may completely disappear in 2 decades or less Complete disappearance of Arctic sea ice would contribute additional solar radiative heating of 0.71 W/m2 to the planet - equivalent to radiative forcing from 1 trillion tons of CO2 emissions agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Is panpsychism a philosophical dead-end or a legitimate response to the hard problem of consciousness? I respond to Walter Veit's critique and defend panpsychism as a serious metaphysical option, not ornamental fluff. #philsky @walterveit.bsky.social

Australia’s record heatwave Thermal data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel‑3 Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer ... recorded land surface temperatures ranged between 58 and 60 °C sources: European Space Agency, ESA Earth, Copernic link: www.instagram.com/p/DUDFoF4CIgG

🚨 NEW STUDY: As Australia prepares for another heatwave, our latest study found the early January heatwave which hit SE Australia was made 5x more likely due to climate change. What was once a relatively rare 1-in-25-year event is now expected about every 5 years. 🧵 1/6

A new study warns that climate change could wipe out large areas where the Amazon’s biggest trees can survive. If emissions stay high, up to 45% of their habitat could be lost by 2080. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In a widely anticipated move, House Republicans released a draft bill that would roll back several provisions in the nation’s premier chemical safety law with the stated goal of bolstering manufacturing and innovation.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

Even in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, mosquitoes are choosing people over wildlife. By analysing what mosquitoes had fed on, researchers found a strong preference for human blood, helping explain how disease risks can follow us into natural environments. www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

I welcome the new year with a new publication in the journal Climatic Change! I ask: What would Aldo Leopold think about Geoengineering? In reply, I contend that from his vantage both success and failure in geoengineering should deeply trouble us. Check it out open access here: rdcu.be/eYFAC

Things like student loan debt is great, because it puts workers into massive debt before going into the workforce, which gives capitalists leverage over us. But really it doesn't go far enough. We should just be born with debt. Babies have been getting off scot-free for far too long.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”
