Powerful reminder to make clear where I'm getting my info from - not just for my audience's sake, but for the sake of the orgs doing the investigations. (n.b. I always link in the description, but who looks at that??)

OK. Some (mostly negative) thoughts on Bill Gates. With special shoutout to @timinclimate.bsky.social & @drkatemarvel.bsky.social for their wise words. youtu.be/9MmqKEkOtwo

Indeed this is an excellent nuanced and optimistic response to Bill Gates by @hausfath.bsky.social ! (Though admittedly less entertaining than @climateadam.bsky.social.) It’s a good example of how to debate constructively about solving the #climatecrisis.

Really strong summary of how (and whether) to talk to people who deny climate science. Great work from the Sphera Network! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oZf...

I can't begin to imagine the anguish of believing it's over. Safe. That you can maybe start to live again. And then having a loved one taken from you. 22 of the 60 killed were children. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There's this pattern of asking perfectly legit questions (why do so many need foodstamps??) But then having complete disinterest in the answer (because wages and social security aren't enough for many people to *feed themselves*)

I am deeply concerned about the impact that Melissa will have. And - yes - climate change is raising the risk of hurricanes like these. In myriad ways. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unwg...

Things are feeling pretty gloomy. So here's some sunshine for your Friday! youtu.be/AeIXZf7Th34

Exactly what I'd expect from hippies like... [checks notes] former military leaders... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This feels like a real bad omen... www.bbc.com/news/article...

What do people like RFK Jr think "expert" means?

If this is how one of the world's most famous people is treated, we can only begin to imagine* what captive Palestinians have experienced. * We don't actually need to imagine. There are countless, corroborated accounts from Palestinians and Israelis. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25...

Yesterday, indigenous activists protested in front of the venue where the pre-COP is being held in Brasília, demanding more ambitious climate action targets.⁠ ⁠ The action is part of the campaign "The Answer Is Us", calling for frontline leadership to have a say on decision-making at COP30.⁠

For years, experts have warned of the toxic relationships (with truth, with power, with each other) that generative AI could facilitate. Seems many companies read these warnings as a todo list.

Love* watching non-jewish people scramble to dismiss the voices of jews critical of Israel. * Hate

Some sunny news!

I feel this in my soul. There's so much to say about climate change, climate action, misinformation, links to our other crises... ... But it's hard avoiding burnout when the world is burning.

Want to procure Major Gains?? Well it doesn't matter (to your body) whether you take animal or plant-based protein. But it does matter (to the planet and the animals) which you choose. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I'm pretty wary of this kind of analysis. There's no suggestion that Trump's "pressure" is anything other than diplomatic. And there's no indication that Trump won't just get bored and move on (say after the Nobel cycle).

I'm beginning to think Musk might not care about the environment after all... www.propublica.org/article/elon...

This has long been me. But these days, if an editor just shrugs and says the piece is great as is, no notes, I get a deep feeling of unease...

With so much destruction - to people (over 1 in 10 killed / injured) and to infrastructure (90% of schools damaged / destroyed) - a ceasefire would be only the very beginning of recovery. As Jewish people know well, trauma can last generations. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch. I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

Am I just in a bubble, or is *literally everyone* against the new OpenAI video nonsense?

ClimateAdam fact checks Trump’s UN speech, in his unique style: both enlightening and entertaining. If you don’t yet subscribe to him, consider it! youtu.be/lEEwAcQ-zpU?...

Further reminder - some of those currently trying to weaponise yesterday’s tragedy to fuel Islamophobia have a documented history of antisemitism. As @zackpolanski.bsky.social says ‘Islamophobia and antisemitism are two sides of the same coin’.

I'm struggling to find the words for the awful news from Manchester, on Yom Kippur of all days... The loss itself. The deadly clumsiness of the police. The firestorm of hate and violence this will fuel. Awful. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Trump. The UN. Climate Change. Ugh. youtu.be/lEEwAcQ-zpU

my gosh. truly an end of an era.

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

So frustrating when people claim tech alone will save us from climate change. We already have most of the tech we need to halt climate change. We're not halting climate change. If tech alone could save us, it would've already.

In news that should shock no-one, sucking CO2 out the air remains prohibitively expensive. All solutions are needed, but if you were somehow hoping for a silver bullet, you're gunna need to look elsewhere... www.ft.com/content/fa4c...

You can't battle for something already sold. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Bloody solar panels, cluttering up the countryside and preventing desertification while providing clean energy and growing food.

Here is the starter pack you have all been waiting for: IPCC AR7 Scientists (the scientists that will write the next assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the next few years) Thanks @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social bsky.app/starter-pack...

What do you feed a factory full of mosquitos? Horse/human blood cocktail. Obvs.

Ever heard of a mosquito factory? Fighting mosquito-borne diseases... with more mosquitoes! Loved working on this vid with @marilenharo.bsky.social for @nature.com 🧪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Nc...

detaining civilians in wretched conditions is horrific. and that's true whether those civilians are Israeli or Palestinian. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

the UK is absolutely obsessed with something that isn't happening. seems like that's the common denominator of our politics and has been ever since (before) brexit.

Thanks to the Guardian for covering our efforts. Read more here: www.theguardian.com/environment/... Follow us, support the mission, and help keep climate truth alive.

One of the strongest, clearest increases in likelihood & intensity, attributable to climate change, I've seen in a complex index like fire weather - the more intense & frequent events in Greece & Türkiye are already outpacing efforts to adapt. www.worldweatherattribution.org/weather-cond...

I know the sunny places are the headline. But it blows my mind 🤯 that Birmingham (UK!) can get 62% of its electricity using solar plus batteries (and that that could be economic)!

"If we don't slay this scapegoat, then the person who invented it will have all the power" By pretending the goat exists, you've already handed over the power.

Pretty shocking - but, sadly, not surprising these days – that the Times has simply repeated Trump's false claims in its reporting. Not even a hint of factchecking his statements. Might as well have just published a verbatim transcript of what he said. Would have been more useful to the reader

It seems like a lifetime ago. But I still remember when Israel vehemently denied it would attack a hospital (even when the evidence suggested otherwise). There's apparently no need to even pretend these days. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
