Current plans to tackle global warming will only save 3 percent of Europe's Alpine glaciers from disappearing this century, with most melting away within the next two decades, a new study has found. 

Remember, for much of the world - including pretty much all of South and SE Asia that relies on glacier-fed rivers for irrigation - no glaciers means no water and no water means no crops and no crops means no food www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

This is absolutely right. This is just the beginning if emissions keep rising. Aviation is a major driver of those emissions. Choosing to be #FlightFree is one of the most powerful ways to reduce your personal impact.

HEY FRIENDS For @thepointau.bsky.social, I decided to do the unthinkable and just actually check whether Australia's gas exports are being a magical climate solution and displacing shittonnes of Asian coal You know what I found, but you will enjoy me saying it: thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

We had only recently passed 350 ppm when I started my PhD in Earth System Science, already a value understood to be dangerous and a threat to society. And now, 33 years and 30 COPs later, we are at a value that is unprecedented for the past 3 million years and maybe even the past 8 million years.

Over on Whatever today I confirm that, indeed, all those emails authors and other writers are getting promising access to readers and book clubs and such are 100% scams, share all the scam emails I got just this morning, and note why they are all awful and bad: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/11/22/y...

...and, the article adds, we don't necessarily own our online data.

We sold our water to foreign billionaires. Now we’re handing them our health data.

An important new book from @commscholar.bsky.social looks at native advertising, a practice allowing fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads as journalism in mainstream outlets. It adds a hugely overlooked piece to the convo about corporate influence in media www.exxonknews.org/p/these-ads-...

A “best book” of 2025 according to @thetelegraph.bsky.social !! Am amazed and thrilled! @weatherglassbooks.bsky.social @thelanigan.bsky.social @zona42.bsky.social @hugobarros.bsky.social

There’s another wave of author impersonators offering consultations/mentoring for a price. (I got one from “Claire Keegan” telling me I’m very promising!) I’m sure you are great, but I didn’t email to tell you how swell you are. Here’s info on book scams: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/prh-fraud/

AI has scraped my second book and produced this shitty comic. Firstly, the winds are in all the wrong places. Secondly, what the hell is happening in that second panel? Thirdly, this is plagiarism and totally unlicensed. Have any other authors had this done 'for free' to their books?

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

When it rains a lot I go to the St. George Rainway to watch water going in and out of things. So, here’s a thread for those of you similarly enthralled… @greenestcity.bsky.social @cityofvancouver.bsky.social

The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. families—until today, and this Trump shutdown.

I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥 There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️ They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬 Thread:🧵Plz RT

We love it that the Christopher Bland Prize recognises debut novelists and non-fiction writers over 50. Not all of us are spring chickens 😁 Now open for entries. #WomenWritersNet

Project Drawdown has always been the world’s leading guide to science-based climate solutions 🌏. With the new Drawdown Explorer, we’re moving beyond describing solutions → to spotlighting breakthrough strategies for accelerating climate action.

Picket Fire is a small literary press, but I have no idea how to use Blue Sky or how to find people on here. So if #writers #authors #readers and anyone related to the #writingcommunity or #books community could help by sharing this post, that would be excellent.

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

A question for Times columnist Sebastian Payne: What is this cheaper source of "energy" that you speak of? The world's energy experts would like to know…

We are in the foothills of a solar-wind-battery civilisation. This is our best chance of avoiding catastrophe. But it threatens the profits of fossil fuel companies & nations - so these are pouring money into right-wing populism to stop the transition. This seems to me the biggest story in politics.

I still have not cruised past Judge Young's ruling in American Association of University Professors v. Rubio. This 89-year-old Reagan appointee zeroes in the most horrifying reason why ICE must be abolished: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69784...
