Love this amazing new addition to the street mural scene in #Winnipeg.

I witnessed repeatedly living in and reporting from Louisiana: solar panels actually protecting roofs during storms. People with rooftop solar panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said. Lessons from #melissa www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/c...

this is pretty sweet... an intense flamenco with percussion that sounds a bit more Cuban...

Our colleague Gavin Bridge has recently co-created a short animation called the ‘Future of UK Oil and Gas’. The film draws on insights from the Fraying Ties project on Networks, Territory and Transformation in the UK oil sector, and was produced by Seed Creativity: youtu.be/8MPHZAhzzLY

Global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels are likely to increase this year, while those from land-use change will fall

Thanks to all who have already signed the petition about the closure of Geography at the Uni. If you haven’t, please do so to help stop this ill-thought out action that threatens the future of staff, students & the discipline at Leicester www.change.org/p/save-geogr...

"Rooftop solar is spreading fast in Jamaica, and people with panels got their power back almost immediately. The ‘entire neighborhood benefits,’ one resident said."

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

Climate crisis is an *equity* crisis. Strong main message from @kevinclimate.bsky.social Professor of Energy & Climate Change, University of Manchester #R4Today: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... at 2:36:35 in the 3-hour programme

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

Are universities for education, or for profit?

Has anyone else been dealing with some serious headline whiplash recently? Even for those of us who follow #climate and #energy matters closely, it can be hard to know what the hell is going on! So here's a thread to help climate communicators get a grip on how to deal with this 🧵

As someone who greatly respects and has greatly benefited from Professor Farhana Sultana's critical & generous public scholarship on the interrelations between water governance, climate change, colonialism & capitalism, I have signed this Letter of Support Please consider signing it too

Many thanks for circulating this call for abstracts. Please submit by 21 December...

A global network of urbanists shaping the cities of tomorrow. From sustainability to resilience and fairness, we’re all tackling the same challenges—and we have so much to learn from each other. As climate change and other crises intensify, sharing ideas has never been more urgent.

Brazil’s state-owned oil company won approval to drill near the mouth of the Amazon river, just weeks before the country hosts the COP30 climate summit www.semafor.com/article/10/2...

Spotted in Karlskrona, Sweden 🇸🇪🚲 Perfect illustration of how one parking spot for cars equals 8-10 spaces for bikes. Imagine #lifeaftercars @thewaroncars.bsky.social

"For decades, the Pentagon viewed the climate crisis as a national security threat – not for environmental reasons, but because it undermined operations and readiness. Now the Trump administration is dismantling that approach."

"The world remains in an energy addition mode, rather than a clear transition." Quite a comprehensive summary of the solar revolution from the FT.

Wow, sweeping coverage of how the oil and gas industry is seeking to kill lawsuits by states and cities to recoup the costs they've had to spend to deal with climate change-worsened disasters. The oil majors knew the dangers of their products, and lied to us. insideclimatenews.org/news/2610202...

Important thread with action points towards the end @uoyenvironment.bsky.social

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

He also tore down some beautiful trees, and destroyed the Jacqueline Kennedy garden...

Story idea for journalists: AI’s strongest supporters say that its possibilities are endless, with some believing that it could even help save the planet. The reality is that AI-driven technology, and the vast amounts of energy powering it, are currently doing the opposite.

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wow the Greens got permission from the late, great poet Benjamin Zephaniah’s family for Zack Polanski to perform ‘British’ What an honour

The US Defense Department canceled a tender to buy cobalt, in a fresh sign of the challenges facing Western countries trying to bolster domestic supplies of the battery metal.

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Feels a little short-sighted on Trump's part to justify sending assassins into another country on the basis they have an authoritarian leader.
