Who is looking out for farmers' mental health? From climate-related stress to market instability, I was happy to be a guest on this podcast about community-based solutions in the face of climate threats www.ifad.org/en/w/podcast...

This would mark an extraordinary, unprecedented, and alarming level of interference in what has historically been a fair and systematic process. The previous NCAs were authored by hundreds of scientists who were leading domain experts in their fields. www.cnn.com/2025/08/...

Another dear climate activist who is relentless in his fight for our lives and our planet - youth climate justice leader Kevin Patel - has a family member being targeted by ICE that is throwing their lives into disarray. Thanks for considering helping if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/support-ke...

Worth remembering that when activists pushed Biden to declare a climate emergency & use emergency powers to accelerate the clean energy transition, VSPs scolded them. Ha ha, that's crazy! Fun update: Trump has claimed emergency powers to substantially slow the transition & no one said shit.

Oh that glorious feeling: hope, and the opposite of being morally violated (all too rare these days) "This is the start of a new era of climate accountability at a global level. The ICJ advisory opinion marks a turning point for climate justice" www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

NSW court of appeal has overturned the approval of the largest NSW coalmine expansion, MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant coalmine in Muswellbrook, after a community environment group successfully argued the planning commission failed to consider the impact of all of the project’s GHG emissions✊

Vienna has been dethroned. The new "world's most livable city" is [drum roll] Copenhagen, which was also, in a separate survey, recently ranked the world's happiest city. US cities basically do everything exactly the opposite of Copenhagen, which is why not a single US city is in the top ten.

Day 653 of genocide I ask my kids: “What should I buy for you?” The answer is no longer a toy… Just one thing: “I want to eat.” 😓 All their dreams today have become a single bite to ease their hunger. We're just trying to survive a worsening famine. Please don’t forget my family in your support.💔

Currently editing our paper evaluating the outcomes of a youth activist-created peer support intervention for climate anxiety called The Resilience Project. I can't wait to share how this program bolsters social connectedness and resilience amongst climate anxious youth theresilienceproject.org.uk

Fully agree. I wrote a book about the science, ethics and risks of de-extinction (Rise of the Necrofauna) that came out in 2017 and I am gobsmacked by how silly the field has become since. greystonebooks.com/products/ris...

“The key is to not set up home in your despair. Let yourself visit it, feel it, but remember: it is only part of what you feel. Then reconnect with the reasons you keep going. Moving through this emotional cycle again and again is how we develop emotional resilience.” Wise advice for any situation.

I’m excited to announce that my Substack - Unthinkable - has started a new collaboration with @atmosmag.bsky.social to bring you the Dear Climate Therapist column. This one got a lot of traction because it speaks to what a lot of people are privately holding unthinkable.substack.com/p/dear-clima...
