🇦🇺🔓🇪🇺 The EU and Australia open negotiations on Australia’s association to Horizon Europe — the world’s largest and most prestigious research and innovation funding programme. Read more: link.europa.eu/4VQthN @scienceinnovation.ec.europa.eu

Please read this, understand what the govt is doing & take action. Labour's immigration proposals swap integration for segregation, introduce a Dubai-style Kafala system of coercive employer control & drive low-income families into poverty. They're an abomination. open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

North Sea drilling would have little if any impact on gas prices in the UK given that international events largely dictate the price. UK renewables enable us to unplug from this volatile international energy system, with wind lowering the wholesale power price by around a third last year.

"Adaptation is ______" - now on PollEV hat tip to @katharinehayhoe.com for this idea - y'all can respond directly at pollev.com/cccs for the weekend. Note it's a PollEV word cloud so single word answers only or add a dash between if your answer needs two words. Answer as many times as you like :)

The bottom line from this new research paper: Living near an oil, gas, or biofuel refinery is bad for your health. Stronger measures are needed to protect the health of people living in communities near refineries. My 2 cents: Let's transition to clean energy & shut down these pollution factories.

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

Cat owners please help! We have adopted/been claimed by a couple of community cats, and the tuxedo half-mustachioed boy (it's always boys) has made it his mission to pee in a room that was doing very well without that scent. Any tips about how to dissuade him from continuing to do this? Thank you!

I want to know what actual human being in the government, presumably with a real life, hopes dreams friends and family, sat down and wrote this then thought “yep, send”

There aren't enough references to the great Arnold Brown these days

Let me count the ways...

What @monkemma.bsky.social does really is the best. Highly recommend for a lot of reasons (a break from the usual insanity being the least of them)

At Project Drawdown, we believe in science — and the role it can play in serving society. So, that's why we launched a new Climate Science Serving America fellowship program. Check it out! Applications are due April 17.

⛓️‍💥 It’s time to free our homes from fossil fuels. In practice, that means: solar panels, heat pumps and insulation upgrades. Solutions to make us rely on affordable, crisis-proof renewable energy. This isn’t about one single technology. It’s about combining them. Let’s call them “Independence Kits”

Open Research Europe (ORE) enters its next phase as a collectively funded open access scholarly publishing platform: link.europa.eu/Y4DwbR Co-funded by organisations from 11 countries & the EU, it: - Secures long-term stability - Enables more researchers to publish without fees

But tell me again how AI makes everything better... cc @olivia.science www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

(🚨) NEW: This whole war is a scam. Quite possibly a treasonous one.

Beware the Negation Field

As @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social explains, Goodwin is clearly aware enough of “driving the algorithm” to know he's peeing in the bathwater of AI augmented searches such that his nonsense will show up in the future without the required scepticism of his 'writing'

Hmm, I wonder what Don's "justifications for the war" wheel stopped on just before this press conference 🤔

So much to enjoy in this video! You can never have too many kazoos in my humble opinion. There are 19 others in the "Classroom Instruments" playlist! youtu.be/fSbfFo3EB4Y?...

📣 Join us for a panel discussion Thurs 26 March, part of the @imaginebelfast.bsky.social festival Hear from our panel on why we need urgent climate action & the role governments must play in a fair and funded fossil fuel phase out, from the perspective of both climate & human rights obligations.

Seriously one of the most hopeful things you’ll read today.

A thread -- which world leaders are calling for a shift to clean energy as a security investment in light of Iran War? First up, French President Macron: "...everything we do to more toward the transition is also about reducing our dependence.." (1/x) #cleanenergyisnationalsecurity

Trump is a geopolitical "stonks only go up" meme

The entire AI conversation is so frustrating and insulting because they have built these LLMs by stealing, they have simply stolen people's work, and then are hoarding the $ they are making by using that stolen work. The conversation should ALWAYS start there. They are thieves.

Introducing a new article type for JEPP - Critical Reviews. Our first review looks at climate policy backlash ("Abrupt negative pushback") and how we can research and approach it for the best positive comes. Open Access, so please read, share, and consider submitting a review to us!

Unless the Iranian officials were crying and called him "Sir", then it HAS to be completely accurate

The lunatic quality of these proposals is persistently underestimated. They are far, far worse than people recognise.

If it was me who he said that to... (Jokes obvs)

In a preprint, researchers from Princeton, Hong Kong U, & WRI find that the form of carbon removal called "bioenergy w carbon capture & storage," or BECCS, is "likely to produce higher emissions for decades than using natural gas without carbon capture." This is a Big Deal because the IPCC... 1/3

Roundup of the key US stories that received less attention, from pressure on the press to abortion policy, health research cuts, environmental rollbacks and civil rights concerns. Subtitles available and all actions available on the newly refreshed www.trumpactiontracker.info youtu.be/g3cl3Erx2qg

This is great. It's so hard to keep up even with the war news let alone with what else is going on the US. Huge public service from @chrischirp.bsky.social

Gosh, a picture of Farage introducing the idea that universities should be head head over heels with joy at the opportunity to engage with this drooling fool and his ilk? Hard pass...

The most enduring of Labour's many sins may be Shabana Mahmood's decision to seek to render respectable Reform's politics of dishonesty and hate.

Today, we've released a new report by political economist and author Will Hutton. It explains why Britain is stuck- and what policymakers can do about it. Read the full report today👇 🔗 fairnessfoundation.com/escaping

Great thread, including a repost of the always on target @paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.social (Saving this in hope and for future reference - an awful lot of the influence of the execrable fossil fuel defenders seems to rely on manipulation of trust...)
