"There's a lot of evidence that shows that the stronger a community's social cohesion is, the better chances they have of resilience from climate hazards," said Rishi Sugla, a  climate resilience scientist at the University of Washington. www.npr.org/2025/06/10/n...

The source materials for most plastics are fossil fuels. As fossil fuel firms lose their iron grip on energy markets, experts say, they're shifting to making plastic. Recycling is a narrative that allows them to present plastic as a clean product. 1/13 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Apropos of nothing, did you know that in the UK the rail companies have had to publish an Adaptation Report every 5 years, outlining what they are doing to respond to climate risks. I assume it's also required for other major infrastructure providers. www.networkrail.co.uk/sustainabili...

🧵I had a quick read of the TBI report everyone is talking about and my first thought is that it's incredibly bland and vague. There is much more insightful writing about climate change in magazines like New Scientist or when somewhere like the FT decides to cover it (or even on here). (1/10)

Last year we released a report urging the state of Texas to improve air quality monitoring across the state. No monitors is a good way to hide the problem. Look what happens when people monitor the impacts of gas cooking. “When you get real data, you can’t ignore it,” Zuniga said.

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

Death by a thousand fracking leaks. NEW STUDY: 70% of the methane wafting out of oil/gas operations comes from smaller, dispersed sources often missed by monitoring methods not designed to detect smaller sources of emissions. Fracking is ungovernable. www.methanesat.org/project-upda...

Question for open data or geospatial folks: we've digitised some maps on PDFs from a govt site. We'd like to make the shapefiles available on GH.

You cannot make this level of mendacious delusion up — self described bold truth telling oligarchs and their groveling amanuenses.

Very important. When I was at DOD, I tried without success to get a comprehensive dataset built to see where the US military had responded to events all around the world. I wanted to see if there was a demand signal in deployments from climate related emergencies.

Now that more countries have submitted national GHG inventories in the latest format, I'm starting to write a bit of code to compile it all. Initial impressions: these sheets are better organised, but there are still so many quality of life improvements to make... unfccc.int/ghg-inventor...
