Unbelievably inhumane conditions. No wonder the Trump administration didn't want Americans to see this reporting. Must watch.

We released our 10th annual #BankingOnClimateChaos report this year! 🔥 🔥 Wall Street banks INCREASED their fossil fuel financing during the hottest year ever recorded (2024). We're fundraising to continue doing this research and pressuring banks to defund fossil fuels. Can you help us? ran.org/EOY

Any political “leader” still selling the obviously false choice between #ClimateAction and “the economy” is just reminding us that they clearly don’t understand either the climate crisis OR the economy. Or they’re cynically hope that WE don’t understand the difference. Or both.

‘We are hurtling towards climate chaos’, is de eerste zin. Dit rapport zou aanleiding moeten zijn voor crisisberaad in ieder land, dit weekend, en als dat niet gebeurt, dan zou de bevolking hun leiders daartoe moeten dwingen door stakingen, demonstraties, oproer. Extreem? Klik op de link.

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

I think I understand the many reasons why people believe it's not worth it to phase out fossil fuels, but I also feel exhausted and vaguely insane living my life knowing that while the world seems normal on the surface, the fossil-fuel economy is, right now, breaking the world forever.

New paper with @glenpeters.bsky.social in Nature Communications today. We show how models and studies with a lot of scenarios in the IPCC scenarios database have a large impact on key findings, including emissions reductions, net-zero GHG year, and coal, gas, and oil consistent with 1.5°C.
