Every American should be disgusted by this.

You've probably been hearing a lot lately about how much the super-rich pay in taxes. Take a look at this chart.

British Columbia researchers found more than 200 contaminants in water and chinook salmon tissue samples collected from five sites in the Lower Fraser River estuary including everything from cocaine and antidepressants to caffeine and flame retardants.

while i do not support deep-sea mining, i hold out hope for the small chance that this cartoonishly evil development will bring about a terrifying, nightmarish end for all the companies & investors excited to sacrifice the environment for profit

We were outside the Dáil this morning at the Fair Seas Rally for Ireland’s Seas, calling on our government to finally bring in effective Marine Protected Area legislation. Ireland’s marine life needs our government to act now before it is too late. @fairseas.ie #MPAsNow

NOAA's seasonal hurricane outlook for the Atlantic aggressively points to below normal activity given the growing confidence for a very powerful El Niño. It is crucially important to remember that climate change is supercharging tropical cyclones that DO form, with higher propensity for Cat 4 & 5.

Americans have probably ALREADY travelled to the USA from the Ebola effected areas in Africa - if only there was a CDC left to manage that risk 🙄‼️

Researchers are forecasting a record breaking El Niño event. Up until now, NOAA has categorized “Very Strong” or Super El Niño events as Pacific Ocean temperatures rising 2.0C or more. At this point, the one shaping up is pointing to +3.0C. NYT gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/c...

Sea cucumber uses its frills to catch plankton and other small particulate, and then feed it in to its central vent (which it also poops from). youtube.com/shorts/EGwBU...

You don't need a cruise to catch hantavirus. Just stand in a Southwest dust storm. That's one of many health nightmares delivered by a climate phenomenon as damaging every year as the worst hurricane season Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Oil spills have increased in the Persian Gulf since the beginning of the Iran war, risking damage to critical marine ecosystems and coastal communities.

El Niño development is progressing at record speed! See the stark difference between Jan 1st (top) to Now (bottom)? The El Niño regions are warming rapidly. The 3.4 region, which is a smaller section of the middle of the gray boxes below, has warmed by a huge 3°C (5.4°F)… 1/

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

Making the final revisions on our Dungeons & Dragons for Environmental Education paper and I am just thrilled with how it turned out. I think that the great short adventure that @craken-maccraic.bsky.social brewed up for the paper is, as far as I know, the only peer-reviewed D&D campaign.

Plus, like 10 years ago @panic.gay and I started scheming a literary ecology paper (seeing if we could use historic works of fiction to detect long-term environmental changes) and this feels like the spiritual successor to that.

7-day forecast for Europe 27.05.2026 Quite a fun map for next week ...with UK and France seeing near record heat for end of May ..35+ in France and 30+ in UK Amazing #ClimateCrisis #Metacrisis

There’s almost daily shootings that would have meant a week of national news 20 years ago and just get crowded out in a day now.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania broke the all-time record high for the month of May today at 98°F (36.7°C)! Human-caused climate change is making these temperature at least twice as likely across the region. Explore the attribution data from @climatecentral.org at csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

My bold futurecast is that the kids in elementary school today are going to fucking love physical books. Pages and pages of just the actual book. No ads. No AI tailoring the story to them. Just book.

Some of my climate media colleagues are suddenly hating on solar in rural areas without realizing it's the newest fossil fuel disinformation talking point aimed at getting landowners to stop leasing their land to solar developers. Y'all, we need solar EVERYWHERE.

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

A Super El Niño is coming. The last time ocean temperatures looked like this, millions died. Reshare. Earthlyeducation

The number of people who have died or will die as a result of Musk’s recklessness in slashing funding for USAID is already staggering. If Ebola gets loose, too, bookmark this moment.

We all know something was not right with the 2024 election. www.facebook.com/share/p/1HQr...

The United States government just agreed to pay $1.8 billion to the United States president, approved by the president's own personal lawyer who represented him when he was convicted of 34 criminal counts. This is the biggest scandal in all of American political history.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

Friends, I’ve been around politics for over 50 years. I’ve never seen anything as brazenly crooked and corrupt as what Trump and his cronies did today.

If Hitler started WWII today, Trump and the Republicans would ally with him faster than you can say Mussolini.

Leonid Pshenichnov is a 70-year-old Ukrainian marine biologist who has dedicated his life to protecting the ocean. Today, he faces up to 20 yrs in a RU prison His only crime? Trying to advocate for marine conservation in the South Pole This is what somehow qualifies for Treason in Putin’s russia!

House Democrats are denouncing the Trump-GOP plan to eviscerate US science, including * A 20% cut to the National Science Foundation * A 14% cut to the NASA Science Mission Directorate * A 14% cut to NIST * An 11% cut to NOAA’s operations, research, and facilities budget

Successive Irish governments have refused to adequately protect our marine ecosystems, feigning concern while in reality acting in the interests of those getting rich from ecocide. Now the EU has had enough, and begun legal proceedings against the state. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...
