Breaking News! Code Yikes! January data from PIOMAS was just released, showing the average Arctic ice volume for January, 2026, was 2nd lowest on record since 1979, just slightly higher than the record January low volume set in 2017. The Climate 8-ball says, "No BOE for you!"

For those familiar w/ "ARkStorm/ARk2.0" flood scenarios for California, a comparable event has been unfolding on the Iberian Peninsula. These ridiculous rainfall accumulations, caused by a long series of extremely moist atmospheric rivers, have brought widespread severe flooding to Spain & Portugal.

Für Medienschaffende ist der Umgang mit der extremen Rechten zugegebenermaßen nicht immer einfach. Aber ein Lifestyle-Interview mit Chrupalla sprengt jeden journalistischen Rahmen. Hier wird nicht nur eine Plattform geboten, sondern extrem rechte Politik aktiv normalisiert. 🤯

Back in 2020 it wasn't a good career move in the climate space to shit talk Bill Gates' and point out his climate hypocrisy. I was the only person quoted in an article on that issue in a VICE piece. And that was before we knew of the Epstein connections. However, I was right.

‘The International Energy Agency reckons that if the current global expansion of data centres continues, the CO2 emissions for which they are responsible, currently around 200 million tonnes per year, will be about 60 per cent higher by 2030.’ Donald MacKenzie on AI. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

This chart seems to suggest a striking pattern: Kevin Warsh's speeches are consistently hawkish, except when Trump is President and about to appoint a new Fed Chair. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

Big step for the ECB, but also, no good reason why offering collateralised loans to other central banks had to involve so much drama - you can lend on these terms to the Sparkasse Saarbrücken, why not Banco Central do Brasil?

Exclusive: The European Central Bank is working on opening up its liquidity facility to more countries, making it cheaper and easier to access in a bid to foster the international role of the euro, three sources told Reuters reut.rs/4r2973D

Interesting move from the #ECB, especially in light of the calls to strenghen the international role of the #euro : most of them consider the expansion of the swap lines as a mandatory first step to internationaliste the euro cc @shahinvallee.bsky.social @jvtk.bsky.social @steffenmurau.bsky.social

Hello Bjorn! #EpsteinFiles #BjornLomborg www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

📣 New scholarship on JM :despite a high degree of convergence within the global central banking community, climate change has generated sharply contrasting approaches. The piece explores the "politics of divergence" between the Fed and the ECB : justmoney.org/why-the-fed-...

More than 50 heat records were broken across Australia in the last week of January, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. This is climate change, and it can be lethal.

"Perhaps most dispiriting for many Europeans was realising the French had been right all along." www.economist.com/europe/2026/...

Wow... Writing this paper was a bit like watching a soap opera unfold. But it's out now in @bjpir.bsky.social The big story is still: The ECB marched forward, with clear democratic authorisation, but not the Fed. Green central banking is much more democratic than people think.

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.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season. When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.
