There's been a tonne of interesting stuff to read on China's green export boom, developmental green industrial policy & even US energy transition politics in the past couple weeks; here is an annotated list from me & @70sbachchan.bsky.social buttondown.com/polycrisisdi...

Kicking off Climate Week NYC with @johnmoralestv.bsky.social & @climatecentral.org's Bernadette WP! I've got over 40 events this week with the Climate Group, Global Citizen, AMNH, the UN & more -- but I've stocked up on chocolate + I’m ready to go! Are you at CW too? What are you most excited for?

Hi, I’m Larry. I’m an Asst Prof of Earth and Env. Science where I teach courses primarily in the atmospheric and ocean sciences. My students and I also conduct research that focuses on climate change education.

Celebrating the fifth anniversary of installing solar panels on our church. We produce as much power as is used in 5 homes each year, save money, and provide clean power at a discount to a non-profit partner through community solar. So much winning!

If you're housebound today (or in South Dakota, where there's no event), join us for a virtual Sun Day extravaganza! actionnetwork.org/events/think...

TODAY is Sun Day! ✴️ Thousands of people are coming together at 469 events across the U.S. and beyond to celebrate the power of clean energy. Today shines a bright light on the future that we all want - a cleaner, fairer, future for all. ☀️ Join an event near you today: sunday.earth

People keep talking about tech firms in relation to the H1-B $100k fee but it’s gonna really sink universities.

Real stories of climate action remind us that change is possible, and that we each have a role to play. This week’s newsletter highlights how individuals and communities are reshaping the future of clean energy. Read on Mailchimp: shorturl.at/80vk6 Read on LinkedIn: shorturl.at/aOmil

Closing in on 500 events for Sun Day, and the only state we're missing is South Dakota! find yours at sunday.earth

NEW: Mexico could displace ALL US gas imports for power generation, with solar and batteries ☀️ The country’s abundant sunshine means it can become a global solar superpower and boost its energy security at the same time:)

"Gas moves up through faults into a cavity under the permafrost that’s solid enough to prevent most of the gas from leaking into the atmosphere. When ⬆️ temps thaw permafrost, the seal is weakened...pressure inside the cavity increases as higher temperatures release gas trapped under the ice" =Blast

Hi bsky 👋. Did you know I have a podcast? It’s called Energy vs Climate and I’ve been away for the past year but I’m back and if you have never listened before we have a whole back catalogue with some cool stuff. Here is a pick of some favourites from a range of different kinds of topics/shows

Canada faces New Zealand in the Semifinals of the Womens Rugby World Cup tomorrow at 2pm EDT/ 11am PDT. The game is on regular TSN These are two very evenly matched teams and will be a great game of rugby

🚨🚨 If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be: "the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute." BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE 🚨🚨

🧪 New National Academies report concludes that rising greenhouse gas levels imperil public health and the 2009 endangerment finding “has stood the test of time.” Game on. Gift link: Top Scientists Find Growing Evidence That Greenhouse Gases Are, in Fact, a Danger www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...

Three quarters of the news stories studied were shared without clicking and reading the article - something I’m guilty of myself all too often. But it’s not good practice! “virality of political content on social media (including misinfo) is driven by superficial processing of headlines and blurbs”

Fossil-fueled warming once again killed tens of thousands in Europe this summer. Scientists the rising heat and death tolls show the limits of adaptation.

Great to see our new paper "Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change" out in print today in @natclimate.nature.com, which builds on our landscaping project on climate-health attribution a couple of years ago, funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social

I’m proud to say that @noaa.gov and NCEI has released a 1 year retrospective on #Helene using ESRI Story Maps. arcg.is/aqCD4 Here is a brief thread of how this came to be and how NOAA can still do good things (even while wearing pajamas).

Gorgeous “layers” of auroras in Ontario tonight 💚

New work about how perceptions of social consensus shape belief. My sense is that the design of social media, w/ signals of engagement on top of massive attention flows, shapes social consensus… a key factor (IMO ) of information disorder.

Excursion #50 was on Wednesday, at UofC. My longest convos were with an Enviro Sci student & Bodhi, a 20 year old from Jackson Hole Wyoming, in year 1 of physics. Bodhi LOVES natural gas, w/ nuclear coming close in 2nd place. Hard for him to accept they can't compete on cost or deployment w/ solar.

Don’t get me wrong: if the science showed that telling people the world was ending + there’s nothing we can do about it actually catalyzed action, I’d be doing it with the best of them! (though definitely NOT attacking others to do so.) However, what science shows is *exactly the opposite*. Read:

‘The anti-vax movement isn’t simply a grassroots network of concerned parents. It’s an industry. … It operates on a simple premise: if you’re not vaccinating your kids, you need to protect them somehow, and here’s a bunch of things you can buy to do that.’ Excellent writing in @macleans.bsky.social

We just started reading Talking Climate by @katharinehayhoe.com and are here to recommend it to you all. All hits no filler!

As many I follow also follow this account, just letting you know it is one that attacks climate scientists, as does is the one it’s replying to. Why? Giving up is a defense mechanism against the overwhelming burden of climate anxiety - but it means that anyone who offers hope must be silenced.

1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

What can music, forests, and faith communities teach us about climate action? Each voice matters, and each action multiplies. Working together is how we can build the momentum for change. Read on Mailchimp: shorturl.at/IMFXK Read on LinkedIn: shorturl.at/RMkCa

NEW: CO2 emissions traceable to the world's biggest fossil fuel firms (ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, etc.) played a substantial role in driving dangerous & deadly heat waves, new research shows Results are esp. relevant for #climatelitigation 🧑‍⚖️ insideclimatenews.org/news/1009202...

The EPA’s endangerment finding is under threat. This peer-reviewed climate science is essential to protecting public health & regulating greenhouse gases. Scientists: add your name to AGU’s letter defending the science before 15 Sept. Sign on ➡️ buff.ly/yuUbZo4 #ClimateScience #ScienceIsEssential

I'm honoured to participate in this event hosted by Pope Leo to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si, along with @billmckibben.bsky.social and many other colleagues & friends whose climate action is fuelled by their faith. Sign up for the live stream here: raisinghope.earth/conference/

"By tying increasingly severe and common heat waves to specific companies, the new research could find its way into courtrooms where individuals, cities, states and countries are seeking to hold fossil fuel producers accountable for climate damages." www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/c...

Wildfires in #Canada are still burning in September, fueled by extreme heat and lightning strikes. In British Columbia, around 150 fires remain active, marking one of the worst #wildfire seasons on record. #ClimateEmergency #BCwildfire

Scientists tracking the birds in an experimental forest in New Hampshire have also tracked changes in the forest ecosystem over decades.

I am SO EXCITED about this! Many folks want to take personal action on climate change, but many resources treat people like monoliths. Enter SHIFT -- a collaboration between Dr. Kim Nicholas and Project Drawdown -- that tailors advice for YOU, using your climate superpowers. jointheshift.earth

Do you know what's way more expensive than keeping the power on? Paying for thousands of people to rip up their walls and floors after their pipes burst in a cold snap. Just ask Texas.

The current administration has claimed renewables are making the grid less reliable. If that were the case, I'd expect states adding the most renewables over the past decade to have the largest increase in outages. However, the opposite seems to be true!

To understand modern risk, we have to grapple with emergent and novel aspects of hazard, vulnerability, exposure, and response that comprise risk. Find out more in a new article with @danielaldrich.bsky.social and Daniel Hoyer, just out in @issuesinst.bsky.social. issues.org/mental-model...
